The Politics of Consumption: Material Culture and Citizenship in Europe and America
ISBN: 9781859734667 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Objects and commodities have frequently been studied to assess their position within consumer - or material - culture, but all too rarely have scholars examined the politics that lie behind that culture. This book fills the gap and explores the political and state structures that have shaped the consumer and the nature of his or her consumption. From medieval sumptuary laws to recent debates in governments about consumer protection, consumption has always been seen as a highly political act that must be regulated, directed or organized according to the political agendas of various groups....

Meanings of Modernity: Britain from the Late-Victorian Era to World War II
ISBN: 9781859734025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While conceptions of the 'modern' have been intensively and fruitfully studied from a variety of perspectives in the context of continental European history, scholars of Britain have hardly addressed the history of the first industrial nation and the world's leading colonial power in this register, despite its enormous cultural influence. In examining British conceptions and expressions of modernity --from Victorian debates about 'national character' to breathtaking exhibitions of artefacts such as the 'moving pavement' that would revolutionize the future appearance of cities, to...

Just Taxes
ISBN: 9780521039796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This original work explores the politics of British taxation in the twentieth century. By 1979, taxes were taken from almost half of the total national income, and contributed to the political rise of Margaret Thatcher. But the level of taxation had risen from 10% in 1914 to about 25% between the wars, without provoking serious discontent (as in other European countries). It also grew again during the Second World War. This study explores the reasons that the earlier tax increases were accepted, and not those of 1979.

Trusting Leviathan
ISBN: 9780521803724 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Professor Martin Daunton's major work of original synthesis explores the politics of taxation in the "long" nineteenth century. In 1799, income tax stood at 20% of national income; by the outbreak of the First World War, it was 10%. This equitable exercise in fiscal containment lent the government a high level of legitimacy, allowing it to fund war and welfare in the twentieth century. Combining new research with a comprehensive survey of existing knowledge, this book examines the complex financial relationship between the State and its citizens.

Progress and Poverty: An Economic and Social History of Britain 1700-1850
ISBN: 9780198222811 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 638 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Previous textbooks on 18th and 19th century Britain have tended to be written either from a social and political standpoint, or about economics in the abstract, as if the history could be reduced to statistical analysis. The aim of this book is to incorporate the revisionist work on British economic growth, which deals impersonally in broad national aggregates, with the work of social and political historians. It stresses the connections between the economy and debates over public policy, and examines the regional variations in agriculture and industry, with particular attention to the...

Wealth and Welfare: An Economic and Social History of Britain, 1851-1951
ISBN: 9780198732099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of essays explores the questions of what counted as knowledge in Victorian Britain, who defined knowledge and the knowledgeable, by what means and by what criteria. During the Victorian period, the structure of knowledge took on a new and recognizably modern form, and the disciplines that we now take for granted took shape. The ways in which knowledge was tested also took on a new form, with oral examinations and personal contacts giving way to formal written tests. New institutions of knowledge were created: museums were important at the start of the period (knowledge...

Housing the Workers, 1850-1914: A Comparative Perspective
ISBN: 9781474241250 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the past, accounts of housing were dominated by the analysis of the problems of slum property at the bottom of the market, and the way in which public housing emerged from attempts to ameliorate the worst conditions, in an apparently inevitable process. This title questions this perception by focussing on the process of development, architectural forms, the pattern of ownership, property management and control, and public policy.
