ISBN: 9781782388449 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Political constitutions alone do not guarantee democracy; a degree of economic equality is also essential. Yet contemporary economies, dominated as they are by global finance and political rent-seekers, often block the realization of democracy. The comparative essays and case studies of this volume examine the contradictory relationship between the economy and democracy and highlight the struggles and visions needed to make things more equitable.

What Money Wants: An Economy of Desire
ISBN: 9780804785921 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. One thing all mainstream economists agree upon is that money has nothing whatsoever to do with desire. This strange blindness of the profession to what is otherwise considered to be a basic feature of economic life serves as the starting point for this provocative new theory of money. Through the works of Karl Marx, Thorstein Veblen, and Max Weber, What Money Wants argues that money is first and foremost an object of desire. In contrast to the common notion that money is but an ordinary object that people believe to be money, this book explores the theoretical consequences of the...

ISBN: 9781785333422 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Cold War was fought between "state socialism" and "the free market." That fluctuating relationship between public power and private money continues today, unfolding in new and unforeseen ways during the economic crisis.

The authors of these case studies examine people's concrete economic activities and... The Cold War was fought between "state socialism" and "the free market."

This book is a new introduction to the history and practice of economic anthropology by two leading authors in the field.

Up to the Second World War anthropologists tried and failed to interest economists in their exotic findings. They then launched a vigorous debate over whether an approach taken from...
