Emigration and the Labouring Poor - Robin F. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Emigration and the Labouring Poor - Robin F. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Robin Haines has analysed the origins, occupations, literacy, and mobilization of emigrants recruited in the UK on behalf of colonial legislatures. Her exploration of strict selection procedures shows that the symbiosis between the clergy, empire-minded philanthropic societies, and parishes, which combined to fund the emigrants'' considerable pre-departure expenses, increased the opportunities for underemployed rural and domestic workers during an era of farm rationalization and industrial restructuring. Although poor, hybrid state and private funding enabled them to relocate to Australia where their skills were in demand.

Local Content Policies in Resource-rich Countries - Yerengaip Omarov - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Local Content Policies in Resource-rich Countries - Yerengaip Omarov - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses the role of local content (LC) policy in the economic development of five resource-rich countries: Brazil, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia and the UK. The authors situate LC policy within a framework of sustainability in the form of industrial diversification and innovation-led growth, and examine how effective LC policies are in facilitating sectoral and economy-wide catching up. Structured in five chapters, the book begins with an introduction and then presents an overview of LC definitions and situates LC policies within a framework of economic development. The third chapter compares specific examples of LC development and highlights variations in practice as well as learning across case countries. The fourth chapter focuses on macro-economic, micro-economic and institutional challenges conditioning LC development and the ability of LC policies to assist innovation-led growth. The authors conclude by examining what the future holds for LC policies and their role in promoting economic growth and addressing the wider social, political and economic challenges in resource-rich countries.

The Confiscation of American Prosperity - M. Perelman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Confiscation of American Prosperity - M. Perelman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book argues that the right-wing revolution in the United States has created deepening inequality and will lead to economic catastrophe. The author makes the case that over the past three decades the rich have confiscated wealth and income from the poor and middle class to a far greater extent than many realize, and he explores in detail important but commonly unmeasured dimensions of inequality. He also takes aim at the economics profession, criticizing the analytical blinders that leave economists incapable of seeing the coming crisis.

John Clare, Politics and Poetry - A. Vardy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

John Clare, Politics and Poetry - A. Vardy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

John Clare, Politics and Poetry challenges the traditional portrait of ''poor John Clare'', the helpless victim of personal and professional circumstance. Clare''s career has been presented as a disaster of editorial heavy-handedness, condescension, a poor market, and conservative patronage. Yet Clare was not a passive victim. This study explores the sources of the ''poor Clare'' tradition, and recovers Clare''s agency, revealing a writer fully engaged in his own professional life and in the social and political questions of the day.

Landing Votes - N. Lapp - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Landing Votes - N. Lapp - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Landing Votes explores the conditions under which democratic Latin American governments address persistent political and economic inequities. The book points out a surprising ''coincidence'': nearly every extension of suffrage to the rural poor occurred at the same time as land reform. Politicians did not merely react to peasants'' demands; rather, they sought political power by extending the right to vote while redistributing land. The book concludes that party institutionalization enhanced the prospects for reforms by holding politicians accountable. More significant reforms occurred which benefited more of the rural poor where institutionalized parties competed for their votes.

Class Struggle - Domenico Losurdo - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Class Struggle - Domenico Losurdo - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Available for the first time in English, this book examines and reinterprets class struggle within Marx and Engels'' thought. As Losurdo argues, class struggle is often misunderstood as exclusively the struggle of the poor against the rich, of the humble against the powerful. It is an interpretation that is dear to populism, one that supposes a binary logic that closes its eyes to complexity and inclines towards the celebration of poverty as a place of moral excellence. This book, however, shows the theory of class struggle is a general theory of social conflict. Each time, the most adverse social conflicts are intertwined in different ways. A historical situation always emerges with specific and unique characteristics that necessitate serious examination, free of schematic and biased analysis. Only if it breaks away from populism can Marxism develop the ability to interpret and change the world.
