Civic Jazz: American Music and Kenneth Burke on the Art of Getting Along
ISBN: 9780226218212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jazz is born of collaboration, improvisation, and listening.

Jazz music, Clark argues, demonstrates how... Jazz is born of collaboration, improvisation, and listening. In much the same way, the American democratic experience is rooted in the interaction of ...

Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations. ...

Research in Economic History

There are some commonalities in themes: we have three papers on 1931, three papers that have something to do with banks, two...
