ISBN: 9780367104412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Recent trends in politics culminating in the US with the election of Donald Trump both provoked and expressed a troubling intensification of emotion in the body politic. Heightened levels of anger, frustration, and distrust, the dismissal of the norms of politics and policy making, and the prevalence of intractable conflict indicated an increase in the power of regressive forces. The power of these forces takes the form of dark fantasies involving the loss, indeed the destruction, of safe space, the prevalence of existential threat, and the corrosion of the kinds of relationships that make...

Poverty, Work, and Freedom: Political Economy and the Moral Order
ISBN: 9780521184144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The poor seem easy to identify: those who do not have enough money or enough of the things money can buy. This book explores a different approach to poverty, one suggested by the notion of capabilities emphasized by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. In the spirit of the capabilities approach, the book argues that poverty refers not to a lack of things but to the lack of the ability to live life in a particular way. The authors argue that the poor are those who cannot live a life that is discovered and created rather than already known. Avoiding poverty, then, means having the capacity and...
