The Nobel Factor: The Prize in Economics, Social Democracy, and the Market Turn
ISBN: 9780691166032 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Economic theory may be speculative, but its impact is powerful and real. Since the 1970s, it has been closely associated with a sweeping change around the world--the "market turn." This is what Avner Offer and Gabriel Soderberg call the rise of market liberalism, a movement that, seeking to replace social democracy, holds up buying and selling as the norm for human relations and society. Our confidence in markets comes from economics, and our confidence in economics is underpinned by the Nobel Prize in Economics, which was first awarded in 1969. Was it a coincidence that the market turn... Economic theory may be speculative, but its impact is powerful and real. Since the 1970s, it has been closely associated with a sweeping change aro... |

The Challenge of Affluence: Self-Control and Well-Being in the United States and Britain Since 1950
ISBN: 9780199216628 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the 1940s Americans and Britons have come to enjoy an era of rising material abundance. Yet this has been accompanied by a range of social and personal disorders, including family breakdown, addiction, mental instability, crime, obesity, inequality, economic insecurity, and declining trust.
Avner Offer argues that well-being has lagged behind affluence in these societies, because they present an environment in which consistent choices are difficult to achieve over different time ranges and in which the capacity for personal and social commitment is undermined by the flow of novelty....

Insecurity, Inequality, and Obesity in Affluent Societies
ISBN: 9780197264980 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the last three decades, obesity has emerged as a big public health issue in affluent societies. A number of academic and policy approaches have been taken, none of which has been very effective. Most of the academic research, whether biological, epidemiological, social-scientific, or in the humanities, has focused on the individual, and on his or her response to external incentives.
The point of departure taken here is that institutions matter a great deal too, and especially the normative environment of the nation state. In brief, the argument is that obesity is a response to... During the last three decades, obesity has emerged as a big public health issue in affluent societies.

First World War: An Agrarian Interpretation
ISBN: 9780198202790 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book, Offer presents a new interpretation of World War I, weaving together the economic and social history of the English-speaking world, the Pacific basin, and Germany, with the development of food production and consumption. In the special field of United States history, Offer shows the effect of American agricultural power on world politics, both before and after World War I. He describes how the social institutions of American agriculture undermined farming in Britain, and forced the British Empire to rely increasingly on overseas imports of food. Detailing the role of agrarian...

Understanding the Private–Public Divide: Markets, Governments, and Time Horizons
ISBN: 9781108496209 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Markets are taken as the norm in economics and in much of political and media discourse. But if markets are superior why does the public sector remain so large? Avner Offer provides a distinctive new account of the effective temporal limits on private, public, and social activity. Understanding the Private–Public Divide accounts for the division of labour between business and the public sector, how it changes over time, where the boundaries ought to run, and the harm that follows if they are violated. He explains how finance forces markets to focus on short-term objectives and why business...
