Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism and the End of Economic Democracy A cogent, fiercely entertaining, often scathing assault on the institutions and pretensions of the new capitalist order and the tyranny of the almighty market.At no other moment in history have the values of business and the corporation been more nakedly and arrogantly in the ascendant. In 'One Market Under God', social critic Thomas Frank examines the morphing of the language of democracy into the cant and jargon of the marketplace. Combining popular intellectual history with a survey of recent business culture, Frank traces an idea he calls 'market populism' - the notion that markets are, in some transcendent way, identifiable with democracy and the will of rh people.The idea that any criticism of things as they are is elitist can be seen in management literature, where downsizing and ceaseless, chaotic change are ce

I Marx’ og Engels’ værker findes talrige henvisninger til bysamfundet og dets problemer, men uden en samlet, systematisk behandling. I denne bog sammenfatter Henri Lefebvre disse tanker og giver en samlet fremstilling af Marx’ og Engels’ kritik af bysamfundet. Samtidig diskuteres, hvordan byen kan forandres, og om de klassiske marxistiske analyser fortsat rummer aktualitet i det moderne samfund. Type: Paperback "Kapitalens lange skygger" er en marxistisk analyse af byens udvikling og de samfundsmæssige strukturer, der former det moderne byrum. Henri Lefebvre samler og systematiserer Marx’ og Engels’ tanker om by, klasse og kapital og undersøger, hvordan kapitalismen præger urbanisering, boligforhold og sociale relationer. Bogen placerer byudvikling i en bredere samfunds- og ideologikritisk ramme og diskuterer mulighederne for forandring.

A refreshing, insightful look into the political and economic dynamics driving globalization today Globalization: it's earlier than you think. That's the provocative message of Against the Dead Hand, which traces the rise and fall of the century-long dream of central planning and top-down control and its impact on globalization-revealing the extent to which the "dead hand" of the old collectivist dream still shapes the contours of today's world economy. Mixing historical narrative, thought-provoking arguments, and on-the-scene reporting and interviews, Brink Lindsey shows how the economy has grown up amidst the wreckage of the old regime-detailing how that wreckage constrains the present and obscures the future. He conveys a clearer picture of globalization's current state than the current conventional wisdom, providing a framework for anticipating the future direction of the world econo

Summary: In this important book, William J. Baumol, Robert E. Litan, and Carl J. Schramm contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that "capitalism" is of a single kind. Writing in an accessible style, the authors dispel that myth, documenting four different varieties of capitalism, some "Good" and some "Bad" for growth. The authors identify the conditions that characterize Good Capitalism--the right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countries--as well as the features of Bad Capitalism. They examine how countries catching up to the United States can move faster toward the economic frontier, while laying out the need for the United States itself to stick to and reinforce the recipe for growth that has enabled it to be the leading economic force in the world.
