Sociopathic Society: A People's Sociology of the United States
ISBN: 9781612054377 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Charles Derber introduces and vividly explains the idea of a "sociopathic society"-and why the idea has become necessary to understand today's world. Sociopathic society is rooted in governments and economies, not psychiatry. The book offers a new sociology of societies organized around antisocial values, which ultimately lead to societal and planetary self-destruction. Most of the sociopathic behaviors are perfectly legal and are perpetrated by governments, financial institutions, and corporate capitalism. Focusing on the United States, Derber connects the dots of Wall Street meltdown, guns...

Surplus American : How the 1% is Making Us Redundant
ISBN: 9781612052502 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Surplus American considers a future where increasing numbers of Americans will be rendered jobless and redundant.

Derber and Magrass argue that a majority of the US public is now part of the...

Power in the Highest Degree: Professionals and the Rise of a New Mandarin Order
ISBN: 9780195037784 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Lawyer, doctor, scientist--these are the jobs Americans commonly cite when asked to list the most prestigious occupations. The word "professional" today implies expertise, authority, and excellence. To do a job professionally is to do it well. Yet in a society in which knowledge has become a prized asset and an advanced degree the ticket to wealth and power, the rise of professionalism has a darker, more ominous side.
Power in the Highest Degree, one of the most comprehensive studies of professionals ever undertaken, exposes professionalism as a double-edged sword; it illustrates how...

People Before Profit: The New Globalization in an Age of Terror, Big Money, and Economic Crisis
ISBN: 9780312306700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Has globalization failed us? The promises of economic stability, increased prosperity, and cultural cooperation seem more like a pipe dream than ever before. But rather than stop globalization, Charles Derber challenges us to rewrite its rules in order to fulfill its potential as an agent of democracy and global harmony. In this provocative and optimistic work, one of the first examinations of globalization after September 11, 2001, Derber argues that only a democratic cure--begun at the grassroots level--will end global terror and economic insecurity. People Before Profit provides... Has globalization failed us? The promises of economic stability, increased prosperity, and cultural cooperation seem more like a pipe dream than ev... |

Disinherited Majority: Capital Questions-Piketty and Beyond
ISBN: 9781612058313 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Thomas Piketty's blockbuster 2014 book, Capital in the 21st Century, may prove to be a game-changer, one of those rare books such as Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, which helped spark a new feminist movement. The worldwide flood of commentary suggests Piketty's book has already opened a new conversation not only about inequality, but about class, capitalism, and social justice. Inherited wealth is at the heart of Piketty's book, and Derber shows how the "disinherited majority" is likely to affect the future. Derber shows that there are actually "two Pikettys," different voices of the author...

Welcome to the Revolution: Universalizing Resistance for Social Justice and Democracy in Perilous Times
ISBN: 9781138648203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When the Women's March gathered millions just one day after Trump's inauguration, a new era of progressive action was born. Organizing on the far Right led to Trump's election, bringing authoritarianism and the specter of neo-fascism, and intensifying corporate capitalism's growing crises of inequality and injustices. Yet now we see a new universalizing resistance among progressive and left movements for truth, dignity, and a world based on democracy, equality, and sustainability. Derber offers the first comprehensive guide to this new era and an original vision and strategy...

Renowned American sociologist Charles Derber imagines a surprise encounter with Karl Marx's ghost in London's Highgate cemetery, leading to a night-long conversation about the problems plaguing the world. The economic crisis, climate change, war, the future of capitalism and the 'Arab Spring' are all discussed. The ghost reconsiders his theories as he speaks eloquently about American labour, environmental, gender and anti-racist struggles. The engrossing, funny and provocative conversation, with appearances from other ghosts such as John Maynard Keynes, offers new insights into the relevance...

Capitalism: Should You Buy it?: An Invitation to Political Economy
ISBN: 9781612056890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Before there was economics, there was political economy, an interdisciplinary adventure boldly and critically seeking to understand capitalism. Over time, the social sciences evolved into specific disciplines-economics, sociology, political science-that less often questioned capitalist perspectives and the state. This accessible and hopeful book is a call to everyone-citizen, student, public intellectual-to revive the critical edge and ask if capitalism provides a society that promotes the well-being, indeed the survival, of humanity. It contrasts three traditions-neoclassicism, Keynesianism,...

Morality Wars: How Empires, the Born-Again, and the Politically Correct Do Evil in the Name of Good
ISBN: 9781594515125 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Is patriotism a good thing in an empire? Did General Petraeus betray us or did Moveon? Does morality often serve immoral purposes? Morality Wars shows us how to understand the subtext of these questions and of all the debates about moral values and liberal versus conservative ideology. Derber and Magrass show that the moral problem today is not just lying but "immoral morality," doing evil in the name of good (e.g., Bush preemptively invading Iraq to spread liberty). The authors explore three ancient codes of immoral morality frighteningly resurrected in America today -those of empire, the...

The Pursuit of Attention: Power and Ego in Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780195135497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Enough about me," goes the old saying, "what about you? What do you think about me?" Hence the pursuit of attention is alive and well. Even the Oxford English Dictionary reveals a modern coinage to reflect the chase in our technological age: "ego-surfing"--searching the Internet for occurrences of your own name. What is the cause of this obsessive need for others' recognition? This useful and popular volume, now in a second edition that features major new introductory and concluding essays, entertainingly ponders this question. Derber argues that there is a general lack of social support in...
