Book Synopsis Thrift and Its Paradoxes by : Catherine Alexander
Download or read book Thrift and Its Paradoxes written by Catherine Alexander and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrift is a central concern for most people, especially in turbulent economic times. It is both an economic and an ethical logic of frugal living, saving and avoiding waste for long-term kin care. These logics echo the ancient ideal of household self-sufficiency, contrasting with capitalism’s wasteful present-focused growth. But thrift now exceeds domestic matters straying across scales to justify public expenditure cuts. Through a wide range of ethnographic contexts this book explores how practices and moralities of thrift are intertwined with austerity, debt, welfare, and patronage across various social and temporal scales and are constantly re-negotiated at the nexus of socio-economic, religious, and kinship ideals and praxis.

Book excerpt: The article deals with the problem of how strongly fears of negative shocks in consumption are justified by the theory of economics - even if one does not take into account their long term effects. The analysis uses simple Keynesian aggregative models, i.e. models which focus on the short term. The article, firstly, determines the maximal scale of short term drop in product level in the response to negative shock in private consumption, the scale being implied by these models. Secondly, it indicates channels (other than one leading to price adjustments), which are likely to ease direct adverse impact of negative shocks in private consumption on short term product level. Lastly, it shows that such shocks do not necessarily have to lead to lower short term product level, even if one assumes completely sticky prices and restricts the analysis exclusively to the demand side of an economy.
Book Synopsis Puzzles and Paradoxes in Economics by : Mark Skousen
Download or read book Puzzles and Paradoxes in Economics written by Mark Skousen and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1997-05-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics is full of puzzles and paradoxes that often frustrate and challenge everyone, including economists. This engaging book includes fifty puzzles and focuses on three types of paradox. First, everyday observations that appear to belie common sense (such as why some supermarket items sell for more per ounce in larger sizes). Secondly, those paradoxes which have perplexed economists in the past but have since been fairly resolved (such as the diamond–water paradox). Finally, empirical or conceptual anomalies that remain unresolved and present a challenge to today’s economists (such as the voting paradox).

Book Synopsis The Paradox of Global Thrift by : Luca Fornaro
Download or read book The Paradox of Global Thrift written by Luca Fornaro and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes a paradox of global thrift. Consider a world in which interest rates are low and monetary policy cannot stabilize the economy because it is frequently constrained by the zero lower bound. Now imagine that governments complement monetary policy with prudential financial and fiscal policies, because they perceive that limiting private and public borrowing during booms will help stabilize the economy by reducing the risk of financial crises and by creating space for fiscal interventions during busts. We show that these policies, while effective from the perspective of individual countries, might backfire if applied on a global scale. In a financially integrated world, in fact, prudential policies generate a rise in the global supply of savings, or equivalently a drop in global aggregate demand. In turn, weaker global aggregate demand depresses output in countries whose monetary policy is constrained by the zero lower bound. Due to this effect, the world might paradoxically experience a fall in output and welfare following the implementation of well-intended prudential policies.

Book Synopsis A brief history of thrift by : Alison Hulme
Download or read book A brief history of thrift written by Alison Hulme and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys ‘thrift’ through its moral, religious, ethical, political, spiritual and philosophical expressions, focussing in on key moments such as the early Puritans and Post-war rationing, and key characters such as Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Smiles and Henry Thoreau. The relationships between thrift and frugality, mindfulness, sustainability, and alternative consumption practices are explained, and connections made between myriad conceptions of thrift and contemporary concerns for how consumer cultures impact scarce resources, wealth distribution, and the Anthropocene. Ultimately, the book returns the reader to an understanding of thrift as it was originally used - to ‘thrive’ - and attempts to re-cast thrift in more collective, economically egalitarian terms, reclaiming it as a genuinely resistant practice.

Book Synopsis Travels in Paradox by : Claudio Minca
Download or read book Travels in Paradox written by Claudio Minca and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume focuses on tourism through the twin lenses of cultural theory and cultural geography. Presenting a set of innovative case studies on tourist destinations around the world, the contributors explore the paradoxes of the tourist experience and the implications of these paradoxes for our broader understanding of the problems of modernity and identity. The book examines how tourism reveals the paradoxical ways that places are both mobile and rooted, real and fake, inhabited by those who are simultaneously insiders and outsiders, and both subjectively experienced and objectively viewed. The concepts of travel and mobility long have been used to explain modern identity and social behavior, but this work pushes beyond the established literature by considering the ways that place and mobility are inherently related in unexpected, even contradictory ways. Travel, the international cast of authors contends, occurs 'in place' rather than 'between places.' Thus, instead of offering yet another interpretation of the ways modern societies are distinguished by their mobilities-in contrast to the supposed place-bound quality of traditional societies-the chapters here collectively argue for an understanding of modern identity as simultaneously grounded and mobile. This rich blend of empirical and theoretical analysis will be invaluable for cultural geographers, anthropologists, and sociologists of tourism.
