The Prospects of Industrial Civilisation
ISBN: 9780415131339 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text provides a glimpse into areas of Russell's political thought.

He sees industrialism and nationalism as fundamentally linked and proposes one government...

The Japanese Industrial Economy: Late Development and Cultural Causation
ISBN: 9780415250016 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reveals that the manipulation of culture was of more importance than the character of the original cultural stock in explaining Japan's modern industrialization. Thus the features of private enterprise culture that are so often isolated as keys to the nation's historical competitiveness may have been only temporary reflections of this wider process of cultural engineering: a necessary input into the program of technology transfer and late development.
