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. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.

The Strange Non-Death of Neo-Liberalism
ISBN: 9780745651200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize
The financial crisis seemed to present a fundamental challenge to neo-liberalism, the body of ideas that have constituted the political orthodoxy of most advanced economies in recent decades. Colin Crouch argues in this book that it will shrug off this challenge. The reason is that while neo-liberalism seems to be about free markets, in practice it is concerned with the dominance over public life of the giant corporation. This has been intensified, not checked, by the recent financial crisis and acceptance that certain financial... Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize

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.
