Power or Pure Economics? - Joseph A. Schumpeter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Power or Pure Economics? - Joseph A. Schumpeter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This volume examines central questions about the nature of economic theory, its historical development and its explanatory power. What determines economic distribution - can pure economic theory itself explain the fundamentals of distribution or is a broader economics incorporating theories of power in society necessary? The book presents the debate through classic statements of each position from two leading economists of the century, Joseph A. Schumpeter and Yasuma Takata. A substantive introduction from Michio Morishima assesses and places in context the work of both Schumpeter and Takata.

Meta-Narrative in the Movies - Joseph H. Kupfer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Meta-Narrative in the Movies - Joseph H. Kupfer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

An interdisciplinary work in philosophy and film studies, Joseph Kupfer investigates narrative theory through the analysis of five films that have narrative as their subject matter and where stories and storytelling are central: A River Runs Through It, Wonder Boys, Ordinary People, The Shape of Things and Unforgiven. Kupfer''s readings of the films explore the role of story creation in knowing ourselves and planning our future, in structuring social relationships, and in sharpening our experience of popular culture - including mass-marketed films.

Joseph Goebbels - Toby Thacker - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Goebbels - Toby Thacker - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Goebbels was the most notorious demagogue of the twentieth century, and Hitler''s closest confidant. This book uses his complete diary from 1923-1945, only recently released from the Soviet Union, to present a challenging new interpretation of his life. It charts Goebbels'' rise from provincial obscurity in the Rhineland, through his emergence as the most dynamic speaker of the Nazi Party and the Gauleiter of Berlin in the 1920s, to his appointment as Hitler''s Propaganda Minister in 1933. Combining analysis of Goebbels'' relationships with women and of his political career, it argues that there were clear threads running through his life, from a turbulent adolescence through to his death. Goebbels'' love of German culture, his obsession with ''sacrifice'', his fascination for Hitler, and his hatred of the Jews led him into a fatal involvement with German politics which culminated in his suicide, together his wife and six children, in Hitler''s bunker in 1945.

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The United States lost one third of its factory jobs in the past decade as jobs were outsourced offshore, mostly to Asia. Jobs that require a college degree are next to go. China will award six times as many degrees this year as they did ten years ago and any job that can be digitized will be ''tradable''. Estimates of the number of vulnerable jobs range from a low 11 million to a staggering 56 million ''middle class'' jobs. The median United States household income has already dropped by seven percent since 2000 and without dramatic changes in the American workforce that trend will become a disaster for middle class Americans.

Mary Wollstonecraft - C. Franklin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Mary Wollstonecraft - C. Franklin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Mary Wollstonecraft''s literary life exemplifies how many women of that time adopted print culture to bring about change. This study argues that Protestant society had traditionally sanctioned women''s role in spreading literacy, but this became politicized in the 1790s. Wollstonecraft''s literary vocation was shaped by the high expectations of the power of print to educate and reform individuals and society, in the radical circles of the Unitarian publisher Joseph Johnson, and the Girondins in revolutionary Paris.

Liberalism and Its Discontents - Patrick Neal - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Liberalism and Its Discontents - Patrick Neal - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In these essays the reigning models of liberal political theory of John Rawls and Joseph Raz are immanently criticized. Neal argues that neither ''political'' nor ''perfectionist'' liberalism adequately gives expression to the liberal spirit. Surprisingly, Neal finds resources for the expression of such a spirit in the much maligned tradition of Hobbesian, or ''vulgar'', liberalism. He argues that a turn in this direction is necessary for the articulation of a liberalism more genuinely responsive to the diversity of modes of life in the twenty-first century.

Collaborative Development in Northeast Asia - M. Morishima - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Collaborative Development in Northeast Asia - M. Morishima - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In Collaborative Development in Northeast Asia , Michio Morishima is concerned with an imaginary world as Joseph A. Schumpter was in Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy . Unlike his model, Morishima''s explicitly assumes that both ''politicians'' and ''entrepreneurs'' are active in making innovations in the political and business worlds respectively. Only then would an Asian Community made up of China, Japan, two Koreas and Taiwan be possible. He examines how the Community would work and argues that it is the only hope for Asia''s revival.

Victorian Travel Writing and Imperial Violence - Laura E. Franey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Victorian Travel Writing and Imperial Violence - Laura E. Franey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This study explores the cultural and political impact of Victorian travelers'' descriptions of physical and verbal violence in Africa. Travel narratives provide a rich entry into the shifting meanings of colonialism, as formal imperialism replaced informal control in the Nineteenth century. Offering a wide-ranging approach to travel literature''s significance in Victorian life, this book features analysis of physical and verbal violence in major exploration narratives as well as lesser-known volumes and newspaper accounts of expeditions. It also presents new perspectives on Olive Schreiner and Joseph Conrad by linking violence in their fictional travelogues with the rhetoric of humanitarian trusteeship.

Heath and Thatcher in Opposition - Eric Caines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Heath and Thatcher in Opposition - Eric Caines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book traces how Edward Heath and Margaret Thatcher, during their respective years as Conservative Opposition Leaders (1965-70 and 1975-79), managed their Party''s attempts to ensure a return to government, each after two electoral defeats. They did so in the context of an emergent New Conservatism, championed by the likes of Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph and Nigel Lawson, which betokened a long-term change from the post-war Butskellite settlement. Against a national background of declining economic status, high inflation, debilitating public sector strikes and internal Conservative Party debates, particularly over industrial relations policy and monetarism, they adopted strikingly different approaches to policy-making in Opposition. The book illustrates how, paradoxically, Heath''s technocratic over-prescription failed to save his eventual premiership, while Thatcher''s under-committed policy design failed to impede her leading a purposeful and transformative government i n the 1980s.

Terror and the Sublime in Art and Critical Theory - G. Ray - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Terror and the Sublime in Art and Critical Theory - G. Ray - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The eleven interconnected essays of this book penetrate the dense historical knots binding terror, power and the aesthetic sublime and bring the results to bear on the trauma of September 11 and the subsequent War on Terror. Through rigorous critical studies of major works of post-1945 and contemporary culture, the book traces transformations in art and critical theory in the aftermath of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. Critically engaging with the work of continental philosophers, Theodor W. Adorno, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Francois Lyotard and of contemporary artists Joseph Beuys, Damien Hirst, and Boaz Arad, the book confronts the shared cultural conditions that made Auschwitz and Hiroshima possible and offers searching meditations on the structure and meaning of the traumatic historical ''event''. Ray argues that globalization cannot be separated from the collective tasks of working through historical genocide. He provocatively concludes that the current US-led War on Terror must be grasped as a globalized inability to mourn.

Debating Gender in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Debating Gender in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the construction of gender ideology in early modern England through an analysis of the querelle des femmes - the debate about the relationship between the sexes that originated on the continent during the middle ages and the Renaissance and developed in England into the Swetnam controversy, which revolved around the publication of Joseph Swetnam''s The arraignment of lewd, forward, and inconstant women and the pamphlets which responded to its misogynist attacks. The volume contextualizes the debate in terms of its continental antecedents and elite manuscript circulation in England, then moves to consider popular culture and printed texts from the Jacobean debate and its effects on women''s writing and the developing discourse on gender, and concludes with an examination of the ramifications of the debate during the Civil War and Restoration. Essays focus attention on the implications of the gender debate for women writers and their literary relations, cultural ideology and the family, and political discourse and ideas of nationhood.

Local Identities in Late Medieval and Early Modern England - Daniel Woolf - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Local Identities in Late Medieval and Early Modern England - Daniel Woolf - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

It is axiomatic that English people came to understand their places in society differently by the late seventeenth century. This collection explores how that happened by exploring how membership in communities was defined, and how individuals and corporate groups acted out their understanding of their places in society. Keith Wrightson''s powerful exploration of how concepts of neighborliness evolved as the economy changed is joined with Marjorie K. McIntosh''s work on changing identity politics in market towns. The confusions over identity and community inherent in border towns are taken up by K.J. Kesselring, while David Dean examines the mnemonic devices used in the Elizabethan Lottery to understand how people saw their communities. The overlapping worlds of London, Court and country are portrayed by Alexandra Johnston and Joseph Ward, while Catherine Patterson looks at the rhetoric of urban magistracy. The complexity of London''s communities is explored by Shannon McSheffrey in her work on the liminal place of the late medieval clergy and sexual morality; by Ian Archer in his portrait of the charity of London widows; and by Paul Griffiths in a concluding chapter on the rhetorics of London''s civil and religious identity, as seen in the discussions of growth that swirled around the building of Bridewell Hospital.
