Globalization: Millennial Quartet II
ISBN: 9780822364726 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This second installment of Public Culture’s Millennial Quartet seeks to intervene in the increasingly heated debates surrounding the cultural dimensions of globalization, which includes debates about what globalization is and whether it is a meaningful term.

Banking on Words: The Failure of Language in the Age of Derivative Finance
ISBN: 9780226318776 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) In this provocative look at one of the most important events of our time, renowned scholar Arjun Appadurai argues that the economic collapse of 2008-while indeed spurred on by greed, ignorance, weak regulation, and irresponsible risk-taking-was, ultimately, a failure of language.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) "Failure explores the deeply troubling paradox by which the more technological and financial systems fail us, the more dependent on them we become.

Versagen
ISBN: 9783803137302 / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Technologie ist immer effektiv, der Zugang zu Informationen unbegrenzt, und Banken sind »too big to fail« - dieser Mythos des Kapitalismus ist so wirkmächtig wie falsch. Das Finanzsystem hat sich von seiner globalen, mit Steuern notdürftig gekitteten Krise nie erholt. Geld ist nichts mehr wert, unsere Abhängigkeit von Wall Street und Silicon Valley verstärkt sich, je schlechter das System funktioniert. Und in der Gig Economy von Uber bis Airbnb verschärft sich der Druck: Jeder Erfolg wird überwacht, jedes Scheitern geahndet. Bei technischen Geräten hingegen ist das Versagen...
