Book Synopsis Work and Wealth (Routledge Revivals) by : J. A. Hobson
Download or read book Work and Wealth (Routledge Revivals) written by J. A. Hobson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1914 and reissued with a new introduction in 1992, Work and Wealth is a seminal vision of Hobson's liberal utopian ideals, which desired to demonstrate how economic and social reform could transform existing society into one in which the majority of the population, as opposed to a small elite, could find fulfillment. Hobson attacked conventional economic wisdom which made a division between the cost of production and the utility derived from consumption. Far from being necesarily arduous, Hobson argued that work had the potential to bring about immense utility and enrichment. The qualitative, humanist work argues in favour of a new form of capitalism to minimise cost and maximise utility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, this book concerns itself with the different ways in which money is used, the relationships which then arise, and the institutions concerned in maintaining its various functions. Thomas Crump examines the emergence of institutions with familiar and distinctive monetary roles: the state, the market and the banking system. However, other uses of money - such as for gambling or the payment of fines - are also taken into account, in an exhaustive, encyclopedic treatment of the subject, which extends far beyond the range of conventional treatises on money.

Rostow brings together issues of public policy, international trade and the world of science and technology, arguing that conventional economic thought has failed to relate scientific innovation to the economic process.

Book Synopsis Efficiency, Equality and the Ownership of Property (Routledge Revivals) by : James E. Meade
Download or read book Efficiency, Equality and the Ownership of Property (Routledge Revivals) written by James E. Meade and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1964, this is a study of the extreme inequalities in the ownership of property, in economies across the globe. Professor Meade examines in depth the economic, demographic and social factors which lead to such inequalities. He considers a wide range of remedial policies – educational development, reformed death duties and capital taxes, demographic policies, trade union action, the socialization of property, the development of a property-owning democracy, the expansion of the welfare state. The argument is expressed in precise analytical terms, but the main exposition is free of mathematics and technical jargon and is designed for the interested layman as well as the economist.
Book Synopsis Unproductive Labour in Political Economy by : Cosimo Perrotta
Download or read book Unproductive Labour in Political Economy written by Cosimo Perrotta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary mainstream economists see social wealth as the sum of individual incomes, but for three centuries many economists saw wealth as consisting of the public and private resources of a nation. This led them to explore the idea of unproductive labour, which provides a nation with an individual income, but does not contribute to an increase in social wealth or help to foster development. This book analyses the evolution of ideas surrounding unproductive labour, offering an unprecedented history that guides readers from the work of Petty through to the present economic crisis. This volume explores the work of several key scholars, including Smith, Petty, Marx, Ricardo, Mill, Say and Schumpeter. This book is suitable for scholars and researchers with an interest in the history of economic thought, labour economics and economic philosophy. Winner of the 2019 Ernest Lluch Prize from the Spanish Association of Economic History
Book Synopsis The Gospel of Wealth in the American Novel (Routledge Revivals) by : Arun Mukherjee
Download or read book The Gospel of Wealth in the American Novel (Routledge Revivals) written by Arun Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business and the businessman have had a fundamental place in American society since the inception of the nation. This tenet, the ‘gospel of wealth’, is a central concern in the novels of Theodore Dreiser and his contemporaries. First published in 1987, this study sets this group of writers in their historical context and shows how they elaborated the idea of wealth as an object of quasi-religious quest. What had previously been associated with disease and darkness, avarice and dishonour, now came to emblematise the virtues of thrift, prudence and diligence. The underlying argument is that the dominant group of a society legitimises its power through the appropriation of the vocabulary of religion, and the American business leaders were successful in doing this both in their own practice and through the more insidious medium of art. A detailed analysis, this reissue will be of particular value to students of American literature with an interest in the relationship between linguistic symbols and social order, and historical attitudes towards wealth in literature.

Book Synopsis Engels Revisited (Routledge Revivals) by : Janet Sayers
Download or read book Engels Revisited (Routledge Revivals) written by Janet Sayers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reissued work, first published in 1987, examines the problematic and divisive attitudes which bourgeois and socialist feminists take to the question of the links between patriarchy and capitalism and the importance of class conflict as a major cause of women's subordination. Engels still occcupies a central role in this debate and feminists writing in the hundred years since the publication of The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State frequently turn to this book in an attempt to find validation for their central argument. The contributors to this volume reconsider Engels' theories and review evidence from those societies that have attempted to implement his belief that the key to the emancipation of women lies in their entry to social production.
Book Synopsis Paths to International Political Economy (Routledge Revivals) by : Susan Strange
Download or read book Paths to International Political Economy (Routledge Revivals) written by Susan Strange and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems of a troubled world economy and the essentially political issues of how it should be managed make up the stuff of international political economy. The overwhelming importance of these questions has drawn ever increasing numbers of students and teachers in universities, colleges and schools to study the subject. There are many paths into international political economy for them to follow and this volume, originally published in 1984, discusses most of them. The collection as a whole demonstrates that the field should be seen as the exclusive preserve of neither the economists nor the political scientists. On the contrary, there is much to learn from specialists - and practical people in government and business - with a variety of backgrounds. A rich selection is therefore offered, including history, population studies, money, trade, technology and law, from which the reader can pick and choose at will. The contributions point to the landmarks of the subject and provide useful tips on the best books to read and the most interesting ideas to look out for.

Book Synopsis Economic Studies (Routledge Revivals) by : David P. Levine
Download or read book Economic Studies (Routledge Revivals) written by David P. Levine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, David Levine's Economic Studies offers a critique and reconstruction of the theoretical conception of economic life. The premise of the study is that only an investigation of the system of elementary economic relations - value, capital, production - can overcome the confusion and misdirection which baffles progress in all areas of economic theory, and lay the foundation for further development of economic science. Levine discusses both the origins of economic science and the character of contemporary economic thought. He presents a critique of the ideas of classical political economy and of the notion of a 'labor theory of value' which excludes the possibility of a science of economic relations.

Book excerpt: First published in 1921, this book explores the function of Reason in practical life.

Book Synopsis The Demise and Rebirth of American Third Parties by : Bernard Tamas
Download or read book The Demise and Rebirth of American Third Parties written by Bernard Tamas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all academic books on American third parties in the last half-century assume that they have largely disappeared. This book challenges that orthodoxy by explaining the (temporary) decline of third parties, demonstrating through the latest evidence that they are enjoying a resurgence, and arguing that they are likely to once again play a significant role in American politics. The book is based on a wealth of data, including district-level results from US House of Representatives elections, state-level election laws after the Civil War, and recent district-level election results from Australia, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom.
Book Synopsis War, Women and Children in Ancient Rome (Routledge Revivals) by : John Evans
Download or read book War, Women and Children in Ancient Rome (Routledge Revivals) written by John Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.K. Evans’ pioneering work explores the profound changes in the social, economic and legal condition of Roman women, which, it is argued, were necessary consequences of two centuries of near-continuous warfare as Rome expanded from city-state to empire. Bridging the gap that has isolated the specialised studies of Roman women and children from the more traditional political and social concerns of historians, J.K. Evans’ investigation ranges from Cicero’s wife Terentia to the anonymous spouse of the peasant-soldier Ligustinus, charting the severe erosion of the very institutions that kept women and children in thrall. War, Women and Children in Ancient Rome will be of interest not only to classicists and historians of antiquity but also to sociologists and anthropologists, while it will similarly prove an indispensable reference work for historians of women and the family.

This two volume set contains a wealth of information vital to the creation and reception of Frankenstein. It will enable scholars, critics and students to see for themselves the exact extent of P. B. Shelley’s editorial contributions and trace the artistic and ideological development of the novel at various stages in its formation. It will also enable the reader to explore the text itself to test and evaluate their own theses. This set will be of keen interest to those studying Frankenstein, the Romantics and 19th century literature.
