Local Self-Government and the Right to the City: Volume 1
ISBN: 9780773545656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite decades of talk about globalization, democracy still depends on local self-government. In Local Self-Government and the Right to the City, Warren Magnusson argues that it is the principle behind claims to personal autonomy, community control, and national self-determination, and holds the promise of more peaceful politics. Unfortunately, state-centred thinking has obscured understanding of what local self-government can mean and hindered efforts to make good on what activists have called the "right to the city." In this collection of essays, Magnusson reflects on his own efforts to...

Thus, by instead portraying the conflict between entreprenuerial activity and the sociology of the modern state, he came quite close to the analysis carried out by Thorstein Veblen some decades earlier, who emphasized the conflict between p- gressive technology and the institutions of a contemporary "predatory dynastic State of early modern times, superficially altered by a suffusion of democratic and parliamentary institutions" (Veblen, 1964, p. 398). Modern neo-Schumpeterian approaches have continued to build on this groundwork provided by...

Free Trade: 1793-1886
ISBN: 9780415133166 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 1248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Trade is the dominant subject in nineteenth century economics. During the course of the century, Britain was transformed from a protectionist power to an open economy, a change embodied by the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. This is reflected in the economic literature of the period, with the qualified free trade advocacy of the early classical economists developing into more strident views of the Manchester School. However throughout the period free trade did not go unchallenged, and by the end of the century a fully developed protectionist position had emerged represented by, for example,...

Political Space: Reading the Global Through Clayoquot Sound Volume 11
ISBN: 9780816640409 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the remote outer coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Clayoquot Sound might seem to be situated at the periphery of contemporary power and authority. And yet, as the disputed land of native peoples and the contentious site of corporate logging in one of the world's last remaining temperate rain forests, Clayoquot Sound is also squarely in the middle of global politics today. These authors develop a new way of making sense of the rapidly changing character of political life in our day, revealing the political problems and possibilities inherent in the convergence of the global and...

The Tradition of Free Trade
ISBN: 9780415262156 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth century Adam Smith and others gradually invented a 'tradition' of free trade. This was a towering achievement and has proved to be influential to this day. This book examines this construction of the free trade tradition.
Showing how historical contruction is a vital component in the writing of doctrinal history, Lars Magnusson argues that it is important for historians of economic thought to distance themselves from the practice of writing history backwards. Contrasting what occurred in Britain in the nineteenth century with what occurred in the United States and in...

Politics of Urbanism: Seeing Like a City
ISBN: 9780415782418 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To see like a city, rather than seeing like a state, is the key to understanding modern politics. In this book, Magnusson draws from theorists such as Weber, Wirth, Hayek, Jacobs, Sennett, and Foucault to articulate some of the ideas that we need to make sense of the city as a form of political order. Locally and globally, the city exists by virtue of complicated patterns of government and self-government, prompted by proximate diversity. A multiplicity of authorities in different registers is typical. Sovereignty, although often claimed, is infinitely deferred. What emerges by...

Nation, State and the Industrial Revolution: The Visible Hand
ISBN: 9780415461771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The industrial revolution and the creation of the modern (national) state are two of the most important historical processes to have occurred in Europe during the 19th century. The state and other bodies of governance play an important role in the development of capitalist market societies since the 18th century. But modern market economies are to a large degree a product of the interplay between market and governance. Yet we are often told a strikingly different tale about the modern economy, at least how it ought to work and operate - as far as possible without public interference. Even...

Offshore Companies: How To Register Tax-Free Companies in High-Tax Countries
ISBN: 9780957543836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Tax havens have traditionally been politically acceptable as long as they are rainy and cold places such as Delaware, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. However, if you add a white sand beach and some palm trees, it becomes a different story. The tax haven becomes an offensive villain, not only guilty of "unfair tax competition" but of virtually every other thinkable evil, including money laundering, tax evasion, and all poverty on planet earth. The fact that the lion's share of international money laundering takes place in London and New York, not in the Caymans or the British...
