Going Remote - Matthew E. Kahn - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A leading urban economist's hopeful study of how shifts to remote work can change all of our lives for the better. As COVID-19 descended upon the country in 2020, millions of American office workers transitioned to working from home to reduce risk of infection and prevent spread of the virus. In the aftermath of this shift, a significant number of workers remain at least partially remote. It is clear that this massive experiment we were forced to run will have long-term consequences, changing the shape of our personal and work lives, as well as the urban landscape around us. How will the rise of telecommuting affect workers' quality of life, the profitability of firms, and the economic geography of our cities and suburbs? Going Remote addresses the uncertainties and possibilities of this moment. In Going Remote, urban economist Matthew E. Kahn takes readers on a journey through the new remote-work economy, revealing how people will configure their lives when they have more freedom to choose where they work and how they live. Melding ideas from labor economics, family economics, the theory of the firm, and urban economics, Kahn paints a realistic picture of the future for workers, firms, and urban areas, big and small. As Kahn shows, the rise of remote work presents especially valuable opportunities for flexibility and equity in the lives of women, minorities, and young people, and even for those whose jobs do not allow them to work from home. Uncovering key implications for our quality of life, Going Remote demonstrates how the rise of remote work can significantly improve the standard of living for millions of people by expanding personal freedom, changing the arc of how we live, work, and play.

Communications and National Integration in Communist China - Alan P. L. Liu - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Communications and National Integration in Communist China explores the unprecedented efforts of Mao Zedong’s government to unify a vast, diverse nation through mass persuasion and propaganda. Dr. Liu delves into the innovative, low-cost communication systems—wired loudspeakers, grassroots discussions, and mobile cinema teams—that reached even the most remote corners of China. This insightful analysis contrasts the radical, ideology-driven campaigns of Mao’s voluntarist vision with the more pragmatic, bureaucratic approaches inspired by Soviet models. From the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution, the book examines how the CCP sought to reshape not only social and economic systems but also the consciousness of its citizens. Dr. Liu’s comprehensive study offers a rare glimpse into the mechanics of Maoist mass communication and its lasting impact on national integration. By analyzing the successes and failures of these campaigns, the book provides valuable insights into the limits of propaganda as a tool for societal transformation. Perfect for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of ideology, media, and modern governance, Communications and National Integration in Communist China presents a compelling narrative of one of history’s most ambitious experiments in reshaping human consciousness.
