Book Synopsis El futuro del capitalismo by : Paul Collier
Download or read book El futuro del capitalismo written by Paul Collier and published by DEBATE. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pese a las muchas críticas que soporta el sistema capitalista, nadie parecía tener un plan realista para repararlo. Hasta ahora. En su nuevo trabajo, tan polémico como apasionado, el célebre economista Paul Collier plantea, mediante un enfoque racional, originales métodos para salvar las escisiones económicas, sociales y culturales que gobiernan el seno de la sociedad Occidental, y nos invita a ser testigos de su experiencia personal enfrentando estas brechas. Partiendo de sus propias soluciones y de las ideas de algunos de los sociólogos más distinguidos a nivel mundial, Collier nos hace poseedores de las claves que pueden salvar al capitalismo de sí mismo y que pueden liberarnos a todos del bagaje intelectual del siglo xx. Este provocador libro nos da las claves para reparar el sistema. Reseñas: «La política de centroizquierda lleva treinta años buscando un texto que aclare de una vez por todas lo que está pasando con la economía de mercado. Con este libro lo han encontrado.» John Kay «Para los ciudadanos adinerados, el capitalismo es una fuente de riqueza interminable, mientras que, para muchos otros, es un sistema del todo inefectivo. Paul Collier despliega en este libro toda su pasión, en igual medida que su pragmatismo y su conocimiento de la economía, para proponer una solución a las divisiones causantes de la inestabilidad de muchísimos países occidentales.» Mervyn King «Estos tiempos necesitan desesperadamente la visión de Paul Collier. Su nueva obra restaura el sentido común sobre nuestra percepción de la moralidad, al mismo tiempo que describe su papel fundamental en el funcionamiento de familias, organizaciones y naciones. Es la obra más revolucionaria sobre ciencias sociales desde Keynes. Esperemos que sea igual de influyente.» George Akerlof «Esta obra es una atrevida provocación al intelecto. En ella, Paul Collier, el distinguido economista, se aventura en el terreno de la ética para explicar por qué el capitalismo se ha corrompido y para aportar sus soluciones. Si queremos salvar la brecha entre las élites metropolitanas y el resto de ciudadanos, Collier sostiene que debemos redescubrir el sentido de la pertenencia, del patriotismo y de la reciprocidad. Mientras proporciona creativas soluciones para este impasse, nos enseña cómo la máxima expresión de la economía es inseparable de la moral y de la filosofía política.» Michael Sandel «Este libro es admirable en muchos sentidos: su amplísima aproximación ética a la economía, el abanico de temas económicos, sociales y políticos que trata, y el análisis de la actual economía de aglomeración.» Martin Wolf, Financial Times «Este libro, increíblemente coherente y conciso, es un grito de ira apenas reprimido [...]» Dominic Lawson, The Sunday Times «No es una lectura ligera, pero es sin duda imprescindible.» David Goodhart, Evening Standard « El futuro del capitalismo es un libro ambicioso y estimulante. [...] Comparto muchas de las ideas que Collier expone. La idea central, según la cual debemos procurar atender las obligaciones que tenemos para con nuestros congéneres, me caló muy hondo.» Bill Gates « El futuro del capitalismo posee el encanto discursivo de una clase magistral impartida por un catedrático de Oxford exhaustivamente documentado.» Steven Pearlstein, The Washington Post «Una fuerte llamada al retorno de los códigos del New Deal en una era marcada por Trump y el Brexit.» Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Capitalismo written by Nancy Fraser and published by Ediciones Morata. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy FRASER y Rahel JAEGGI examinan de nuevo las grandes preguntas que rodean la peculiar forma social conocida como "capitalismo", y cuestionan muchas de nuestras suposiciones comunes sobre qué es el capitalismo y cómo someterlo a la crítica. Muestran cómo, a lo largo de su historia, varios regímenes del capitalismo se han basado en una serie de separaciones institucionales entre economía y gobierno, producción y reproducción social y naturaleza humana y no humana, reajustando periódicamente los límites entre estos dominios en respuesta a situaciones de crisis. Consideran cómo estas "luchas de frontera" -que estallan donde están las divisiones institucionales constitutivas del capitalismo, es decir, donde la economía se encuentra con la política, la sociedad con la naturaleza, y la producción con la reproducción- ofrecen una clave para comprender las contradicciones del capitalismo y las múltiples formas de conflicto a las que da lugar. Observan que las sociedades capitalistas son inherentemente proclives a generar dos tipos de lucha: las luchas de clase, en el sentido marxista, y las luchas de frontera. A lo largo de las cuatro secciones en las que organizan el libro -conceptualizar el capitalismo, historizar el capitalismo, criticar el capitalismo y combatir el capitalismo- estas dos destacadas intelectuales de la Teoría Crítica nos presentan una crítica renovada del capitalismo que pone nuestra coyuntura actual en una perspectiva más amplia, junto con diagnósticos agudos del reciente resurgimiento del populismo de derechas y lo que se requeriría de una alternativa de izquierda viable. Construyen una obra clave para la renovación de la teoría crítica y que resultará de gran interés para cualquier persona preocupada por la naturaleza y el futuro del capitalismo y por las cuestiones clave implicadas en la política progresista actual.
Book Synopsis People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent by : Joseph E. Stiglitz
Download or read book People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy. We all have the sense that the American economy—and its government—tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn’t done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment. Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America’s economic might and its democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us—the U.S. citizens—and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

Book Synopsis The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative by : Claudia von Werlhof
Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
Book Synopsis 2G : revista internacional de arquitectura by : Roemer van Toorn
Download or read book 2G : revista internacional de arquitectura written by Roemer van Toorn and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Republic of Slovenia declaring its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 Slovenia became an honourable member of the world of late capitalism, and in 2004 a member of the European Union. It would take too long to explain in detail why Slovenia became a successful member of the empire of late capitalism, but what can be said of architecture is that several young architects such as Spela Videcnik and Rok Oman of Ofis arhitekti became familiar with the blurring of the distinctions between art, fashion, high and low culture, design and politics, individualisation, and consumption. Not only Ofis, but other young architects oriented themselves to the West and decided early on in their careers to study architecture in post-Fordist countries like Great Britain, the USA, Holland and Finland, thus making the leap from a Communist welfare state into a late-capitalist state -with the help of their international aesthetics- easier and more promising for Slovenia. From that moment on, a new generation of architects paved the way for Slovenia to move into world capitalism. The work by Ofis compiled in this issue of 2G represents a good example of this new generation of architects from Eastern Europe.

Book Synopsis Classical Political Economics and Modern Capitalism by : Lefteris Tsoulfidis
Download or read book Classical Political Economics and Modern Capitalism written by Lefteris Tsoulfidis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes an in-depth understanding of the key mechanisms that govern the functioning of capitalist economies, pursuing a Classical Political Economics approach to do so. It explores central theoretical issues addressed by the classical economists Smith and Ricardo, as well as Marx, while also operationalizing more recent theoretical developments inspired by the works of Sraffa and other modern classical economists, using actual data from major economies. On the basis of this approach, the book subsequently provides alternative explanations for various microeconomic issues such as the determination of equilibrium prices and their movement induced by changes in income distribution; the dynamics of competition of firms within and between industries; the law of tendential equalization of interindustry profit rates; and international exchanges and transfers of value; as well as macroeconomic issues concerning capital accumulation and cyclical economic growth. Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers, students, and policymakers seeking new explanations for observed phenomena and interested in the mechanisms that give rise to surface economic categories, such as prices, profits, the unemployment rate, interest rates, and long economic cycles.

Download or read book Nobility of Spirit written by Rob Riemen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Riemen insists that if we hope to move beyond the war on terror and create a life-affirming culture, we must address timeless but neglected questions: What is a good society? Why art? Why culture? What is the responsibility of intellectuals? Why anti-Americanism? Why nihilism? Why the cult of death of fundamentalists? In a series of three essays, the author identifies nobility of spirit in the life and work of Baruch Spinoza and of Thomas Mann; explores the quest for the good society in our own time; and addresses the pursuit of truth and freedom that engaged figures as disparate as Socrates and Leone Ginzburg, a Jewish Italian intellectual murdered by Nazis."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Environmental Governance in Latin America by : Fabio De Castro
Download or read book Environmental Governance in Latin America written by Fabio De Castro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.
Download or read book The Third Way written by Anthony Giddens and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.
Book Synopsis World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality by : Gesine Müller
Download or read book World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx by : Matt Vidal
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx written by Matt Vidal and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Marx is one of the most influential writers in history. Despite repeated obituaries proclaiming the death of Marxism, in the 21st century Marx's ideas and theories continue to guide vibrant research traditions in sociology, economics, political science, philosophy, history, anthropology, management, economic geography, ecology, literary criticism, and media studies. Due to the exceptionally wide influence and reach of Marxist theory, including over 150 years of historical debates and traditions within Marxism, finding a point of entry can be daunting. The Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx provides an entry point for those new to Marxism. At the same time, its chapters, written by leading Marxist scholars, advance Marxist theory and research. Its coverage is more comprehensive than previous volumes on Marx in terms of both foundational concepts and state-of-the-art empirical research on contemporary social problems. It is also provides equal space to sociologists, economists, and political scientists, with substantial contributions from philosophers, historians, and geographers. The Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx consists of six sections. The first section, Foundations, includes chapters that cover the foundational concepts and theories that constitute the core of Marx's theories of history, society, and political economy. This section demonstrates that the core elements of Marx's political economy of capitalism continue to be defended, elaborated, and applied to empirical social science and covers historical materialism, class, capital, labor, value, crisis, ideology, and alienation. Additional sections include Labor, Class, and Social Divisions; Capitalist States and Spaces; Accumulation, Crisis, and Class Struggle in the Core Countries; Accumulation, Crisis, and Class Struggle in the Peripheral and Semi-Peripheral Countries; and Alternatives to Capitalism.
