The Myths of Technology: Innovation and Inequality
ISBN: 9781433105203 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Against a rising tide of information, we encounter significant technological, scientific, and medical advances which promise to create an educated, humane, and equal world. This book explores that promise, deconstructing technologies to conclude that though they do afford us significant and empowering advances, they remain...

Working Hard, Working Poor: A Global Journey
ISBN: 9780199794645 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than three billion people, nearly half of humankind, live on less than two-and-a-half U.S. dollars per person per day.

Excellent books exist on ending world poverty that discuss in depth many important aspects of economic development but do not focus on employment and self-employment, work and non-work. Working Hard, Working Poor fills in where the other books...
