Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Addresses the cultural conditions under which artisan work provides a feasible income alternative to other employment options * Offers a methodology for assessing the socio-economic impacts of fair trade artisan work After agriculture and tourism, artisan work provides the next most significant source of income in many developing countries. Yet because of its image as a soft or frivolous industry, some politicians and development professionals question whether the handcraft sector is worthy of investment. An opposing view holds that the creation of sustainable employment opportunities for poor people and a positive alternative to mass production outweighs the costs. Until now, the debate has been hampered by a lack of industry data. The apparel group MarketPlace: Handwork of India serves as the perfect case study to provide this missing information. Like many fair trade companies, it has dual goals: to generate income in the global marketplace and foster the empowerment of the low-income workers who run and staff the business. In conducting interviews with MarketPlace’s artisans, managers, and founders, Littrell and Dickson produced an in-depth socio-economic audit of the group over time. The result, Artisans and Fair Trade, provides a quantitatively and qualitatively illuminating study of fair trade impacts and a methodology that is sure to inform current assessment practices in social entrepreneurship and business social responsibility.

Download or read book An 'Artisan Mittelstand' - How German artisans tried to preserve their identity by identifying with the Mittelstand written by Christopher Reichow and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject History of Europe - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: 1,0, University of Oregon, language: English, abstract: Germany’s handicrafts and their institutional legacy highly influenced the social-economic development of their country. Their knowledge, know-how, and skills were important factors for Germany’s advancement to an economic powerhouse in the late nineteenth-century. But despite economic successes, an “anti-modern” attitude toward the new capitalist industry and its adherent working-class emerged during the last third of the nineteenth-century among the German artisans. This paper will show that the affiliation as well as the opposition of the German artisans toward other social and economic groups expressed a specific identity, both in social and economic terms. The core of the analysis will lay on the second half of the nine-teenth century and especially on the time period between the unification of Germany in 1871 and its short period of economic boom (Gründerzeit) and the end of the Great Depression in 1897. A subjective focus will reveal politically expressed differences in terms of values and preferences to the rising new economic order. Furthermore, it will be shown that the emerging working-class and their growing bond with journeymen compelled the economically prosper-ous artisans to reconsider their economic position within the German economy. Their redefinition as the Mittelstand was the answer to this development.

Book excerpt: Any nation that determines zero-unemployment and also dreams fast economic growth must wholeheartedly embrace growing the number of Artisans and artisanship development in the nation with all the required incentives not excluding providing right enabling environment for the doers. The development in all technologies kick started from the skills of the artisans. Artisanship, no doubt, is one of the employment generation series from the stable of the author, Amusa Abdulateef whose content shall effectively bail nations out of the scourge of upsurge unemployment and underemployment affecting the economic output and national income negatively. His further studies proved that all are artisans and artisans are all who are using the brains and limbs. By the incentives and motivation of artisans, idle people, who lost their jobs as a result of dwindling sales and profits of their former employers that downsize workers to right size and minimize costs towards maximizing profits, could effectively engage in one artisan job or the other. Unfortunately, those who possessed the artisanal skills have abandoned the trades as a result of poor earnings for 'work and eat dirty jobs.' Author Amusa Abdulateef researches showed that more than eighty percent of those doing the 'dirty jobs' have one skill or the other under the class of artisanship. His critical finding analyses confirmed that most idle hands in the underdeveloped nations like Nigeria left the skilled jobs for the daily earning job like commercial cabs and tri-cycle transport business as a result of their failure to horn and upgrade their inborn skills. Without hesitation, the author, based on his analytical findings concluded that the artisanal jobs are the most paying jobs in advanced economies. What should they do differently to meet the required standard in the business environment they are located? Answers are concisely presented with apt illustrations. In his final remarks, he is of the firm belief that nations that truly dream developing huge number of middle manpower must support artisans in their national economic plan and must also brace up to create right enabling environment for the artisans to grow at all time and places.In view of the above, author, Amusa Abdulateef, is optimistic that any nation that is able to develop through incentivizing of artisans shall grow the micro and macro economy within a short period of time. In addition, the wealth is spread across the boards especially when due recognition of artisans are done by the rich individuals, the institutions, the governments, the religion institutions and the professional associations in the awards of artisanal-based jobs at lucrative prices.The book is simply an eye opener for the private researchers, jobs consultants, the employment generation agencies, the students in colleges and institutions, the tutors handling entrepreneurial development courses and skills acquisition trainers. All libraries must not fail to stock copies with the book for the use of today and future researchers and employment consultants searching for suitable material that would empower the human potentials.

This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of China is no doubt one of the most important events in world economic history since the Industrial Revolution. Mainstream economics, especially the institutional theory of economic development based on a dichotomy of extractive vs. inclusive political institutions, is highly inadequate in explaining China's rise. This book argues that only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West (as incorrectly portrayed by the institutional theory) can fully explain China's growth miracle and why the determined rise of China is unstoppable despite its current 'backward' financial system and political institutions. Conversely, China's spectacular and rapid transformation from an impoverished agrarian society to a formidable industrial superpower sheds considerable light on the fundamental shortcomings of the institutional theory and mainstream 'blackboard' economic models, and provides more-accurate reevaluations of historical episodes such as Africa's enduring poverty trap despite radical political and economic reforms, Latin America's lost decades and frequent debt crises, 19th century Europe's great escape from the Malthusian trap, and the Industrial Revolution itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of The Age of Manufactures provides an exciting overview of the 18th century British economy. Recent macro-economic history has discounted many of the achievements of the Industrial Revolution, but Maxine Berg digs beneath the macroeconomic estimates to dissect the characteristics and processes of industry in the 18th century. A male industrial revolution has been presented as the general experience, but other industries, notably in textiles and metal products, were primarily employers of women. This book gives these industries and their workforce due prominence. For this edition, additional chapters, graphics and statistical summaries as well as revision of other chapters have refreshed and enhanced this well-established and important contribution to British economic history.
