Are Skills the Answer? (the Political Economy of Skill Creation in Advanced Industrial Countries)
ISBN: 9780199241118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While the acquisition of skills has become a major public need, there is increasing dependence for their provision on individual firms. These firms can have no responsibility for general needs with government action being restricted to residual care for the unemployed rather than contributing at the leading edge of advanced skills policy. The authors argue that public agencies must find new ways of working with the business sector, acquiring expertise and authority through such means as supporting skills standards and taking the lead in the certification of employers as trainers.

ISBN: 9780745633152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Post-Democracy is a polemical work that goes beyond current complaints about the failings of our democracy and explores the deeper social and economic forces that account for the current malaise.
Colin Crouch argues that the decline of those social classes which had made possible an active and critical mass politics has combined with the rise of global capitalism to produce a self-referential political class more concerned with forging links with wealthy business interests than with pursuing political programmes which meet the concerns of ordinary...

The Knowledge Corrupters: Hidden Consequences of the Financial Takeover of Public Life
ISBN: 9780745669861 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In principle the advanced, market-driven world in which we now live is fuelled by knowledge, information and transparency, but in practice the processes that produce this world systematically corrupt and denigrate knowledge: this is the powerful and provocative argument advanced by Colin Crouch in his latest exploration of societies on the road to post-democracy. Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial knowledge increasingly...

ISBN: 9780745672236 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Capitalism is the only complex system known to us that can provide an efficient and innovative economy, but the financial crisis has brought out the pernicious side of capitalism and shown that it remains dependent on the state to rescue it from its own deficiencies. Can capitalism be reshaped so that it is fit for society, or must we acquiesce to the neoliberal view that society will be at its best when markets are given free rein in all areas of life?
The aim of this book is to show that the acceptance of capitalism and the market does not require us to accept the full... Capitalism is the only complex system known to us that can provide an efficient and innovative economy, but the financial crisis has brought out the p...

Das Buch wurde zum Überraschungserfolg. Colin Crouch hatte eine Debatte um den Verfall der repräsentativen Demokratie losgetreten und ihr mit 'Postdemokratie' einen Namen...
