Insuring Security: Biopolitics, Security and Risk
ISBN: 9780415583435 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Insurance is the world's largest economic industry, providing a form of security that more than triples global defence expenditure. However, little is know about the form of security insurance provides. This book offers a genealogical interrogation of the relationship between security and risk through its materialisation in insurance. This work seeks to argue that insurance practices ascribe value to life and in so doing produce a form of security central to the understanding of contemporary liberal governance and security. Lobo-Guerrero theorizes insurance as a biopolitical effect... Insurance is the world's largest economic industry, providing a form of security that more than triples global defence expenditure.

Insurance for Unemployment (Routledge Revivals)
ISBN: 9780415682381 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The book develops the ethical, economic and actuarial case for the proposed reforms, whereby the individual pays the contributions which reflect the unemployment risk that he wishes to insure. Such ideas provide a libertarian alternative to the social security systems that have been adopted by most countries in the world based on Beveridge's conception of social insurance, and the book provides an original basis for privatising unemployment insurance....
