Oscar Potter and his late-night visitor
ISBN: 9781467923620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Every night before Oscar Potter went to bed, he would sit in a large, overstuffed chair in front of his fireplace, warm his old bones, and sip on some potato soup. He lived in a large, dismal house that remained silent except for the sound of the clocks ticking and the metal tip of Oscar's Irish black Hawthorne cane tap, tap, tapping as he walked along the cold marble floors. Oscar was a grouchy old man-a real sourpuss-who lived as lonesome as an oyster. Once, the house had been filled with joy and the sounds of children laughing as they played throughout the hallways. Now, it seemed that joy...

Offshore: Exploring the Worlds of Global Outsourcing
ISBN: 9780198727408 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offshore outsourcing-the movement of jobs to lower-wage countries-is one of the defining features of globalization. Routine blue-collar work has been going offshore for decades, but the digital revolution beginning in the 1990s extended this process to many parts of the service economy too. Politically controversial from the beginning, "offshoring" is conventionally seen as a threat to jobs, wages, and economic security in higher-income countries-having become synonymous with the dirty work of globalization. Even though the majority of corporations make some use of offshore outsourcing,...

Constructions of Neoliberal Reason
ISBN: 9780199662081 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Amongst intellectuals and activists, neoliberalism has become a potent signifier for the kind of free-market thinking that has dominated politics for the past three decades. Forever associated with the conviction politics of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the free-market project has since become synonymous with the "Washington consensus" on international development policy and the phenomenon of corporate globalization, where it has come to mean privatization, deregulation, and the opening up of new markets. But beyond its utility as a protest slogan or buzzword as shorthand for the...

Workfare States
ISBN: 9781572306363 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the political economy of workfare, the umbrella term for welfare-to-work initiatives that have been steadily gaining ground since candidate Bill Clinton's 1992 promise to "end welfare as we know it." Peck traces the development, diffusion, and implementation of workfare policies in the United States, and their export to Canada and the United Kingdom. He explores how reforms have been shaped by labor markets and political conditions, how gender and race come into play, and how local programs fit into the broader context of neoliberal economics and globalization. The book...

City of Revolution
ISBN: 9780719058882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Confronted with a declining jobs base, deepening social problems and apparent indifference on the part of central government, many British cities made an 'entrepreneurial turn' during the last two decades. Few did so in quite such a dramatic way as Manchester: once a bastion of municipal socialism, the city has enthusiastically embraced the new economy of high-level services, comspicuous cultural consumption and aggressive self-promotion. City of revolution provides a comprehensive, reflective and critical analysis of this far-reaching process of urban transformation, searching beneath the...

Work-Place: The Social Regulation of Labor Markets
ISBN: 9781572300446 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Challenging the prevailing idea that labor markets are governed by universal economic processes, this significant work argues instead that labor markets develop in tandem with social and political institutions, and thus function in locally specific ways. Focusing on the complex social processes that lie at the heart of the labor market--those of labor control, labor reproduction, and labor regulation--the author develops an innovative political economy approach that is sensitive to the ways these processes are locally constituted. He also demonstrates how the geographically uneven development...

Fast Policy: Experimental Statecraft at the Thresholds of Neoliberalism

We inhabit a perpetually accelerating and increasingly interconnected world, with new ideas, fads, and fashions moving at social-media speed. New policy ideas, especially "ideas that work," are now able to find not only a worldwide audience but also transnational salience in remarkably short order. Fast Policy is the first systematic treatment of this phenomenon, one that compares processes of policy development across two rapidly moving fields that emerged in the Global South and have quickly been adopted worldwide⎯conditional cash transfers (a social policy program...

Doreen Massey: Critical Dialogues
ISBN: 9781911116868 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Doreen Massey (1944-2016) was one of the most influential geographers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

They provide readers with an unparalleled assessment of...
