Abstract

Cats with no tails, the one thousand year old Tynwald assembly, offshore finance institutions, and motorcycle road racing are all ingredients that help to define a Manx national identity. Modern, high-powered motorcycles being pushed to their limits on a course that has remained largely unchanged since 1911 is perhaps the most literal demonstration of the new meeting the old, on an island where the traditional and the modern exist peacefully and do not clash. The Isle of Man TT Races provides...

Abstract

L'auteur étudie les mécanismes de l'émergence récente du "biologisme social" et des thèses de l'inégalité naturelle, fondement du racisme "scientifique" en vogue ; il trace un parallèle entre la crise socio-économique et le développement de certaines idées biologiques conservatrices. Prenant l'exemple des Etats-Unis, il montre comment, avec la crise économique des années 70 renaît l'idée de la méritocratie, de l'inégalité naturelle, de l'infériorité des noirs et apparaît un mouvement néo-conservateur où se retrouvent de nombreux intellectuels, scientifiques. En 1975, paraît le livre de Edward O. Wilson : "Sociobiology : the new synthesis". C. Haghighat analyse en détail toutes les thèses de cet auteur dont la théorie centrale est que l'organisation de la société est exclusivement le prolongement de la nature biologique de l'homme. Sont ensuite étudiés les différents courants biologiques en fonction du rôle qu'ils jouent dans l'approvisionnement du libéralisme en idées réactionnaires et racistes : les théories héréditaristes de l'inégalité, le réductionnisme éthologique, la nouvelle droite en France.

Abstract

In 1907, pioneering labor historian and economist John Commons argued that U.S. management had shown just one ""symptom of originality,"" namely ""playing one race against the other.""In this eye-opening book, David Roediger and Elizabeth Esch offer a radically new way of understanding the history of management in the United States, placing race, migration, and empire at the center of what has sometimes been narrowly seen as a search for efficiency and economy. Ranging from the antebellum period to the coming of the Great Depression, the book examines the extensive literature slave masters pro

Abstract

Using Integrated Public Use Microdata Series-United States micro-census data from 1960 to 2010, this paper examines whether racial and Gender income disparities beget inequality by differentially impacting the growth prospects of the poor, the middle class, and the rich. Racial and Gender inequality is found to be bad for income growth of the poor, but not for that of the rich. An investigation into the channels of this effect suggests that higher racial and Gender inequality is associated with lower human capital accumulation among the poor and a reduction in the quality of their jobs.
