Abstract

Kornai examines capitalism as an economic system and in comparison to socialism. He offers a view of capitalism as an economy of surplus - a chronic excess of supply of goods and labour. This environment breeds rivalry among producers, which in turn encourages innovation. Socialism, on the other hand, is defined by a shortage of goods and labour and excess of demand. Whereas socialism is slothful and imitative, capitalism is dynamic and progressive. The two chapters of this book explore these differing ideologies.

Abstract

A New Social Question: Capitalism, Socialism and Utopia brings together a selection of papers presented at the conference on "Capitalism and Socialism: Utopia, Globalization and Revolution" at New Harmony, Indiana, in 2014. New Harmony is best known as the site of industrialist Robert Owen's experiment in communal living in 1825, and it was Owen's legacy that drew scholars from across the Atlantic. Owen's work and his experiment at New Harmony again have currency as the world looks back on the 2008 economic crisis and as "socialism," seemingly banished with the failure of experiments in Easter

Abstract

The book traces the evolution of gender ideologies in the Balkans, through emancipating women's roles during socialism and into the proliferation and normalization of hyper-sexualized images of women in advertising and other media in the post-socialist transition. Drawing on a media-centered cultural/critical approach to understanding the changing role of advertising in post-socialist societies and its influence on gender identities, the book offers a unique contribution to global media studies and the broader discipline of gender and communication.

Abstract

Although Marx's writings on social transformation figured prominently in the global Left imagination for more than 150 years, by the late 20th century the relevance of Marxism was under question by both the Left (including Marxists) and the Right. Its revival in the second decade of the 21st century is finding new sources of inspiration and creativity from movements that believe that ""another world is possible"" through democratic, egalitarian, and ecological alternatives to capitalism built by ordinary people. The Marxism of many of these movements is not dogmatic or prescriptive, but open,

Abstract

Niemand weiß, was die Zukunft bringt. Trotzdem oder gerade deshalb kommunizieren wir ständig über das Thema Zukunft - ob privat oder in den Massenmedien. Der Autor untersucht diese Kommunikation und rückt zwei Bezugspunkte in den Mittelpunkt: die funktionale Differenzierung der modernen Gesellschaft und die Inklusion der Bevölkerung in die Funktionssysteme wie Politik, Wirtschaft, Erziehung. Wie werden diese Themen mit Blick auf die Gesellschaft der Zukunft behandelt und welche Entscheidungsimpulse ergeben sich daraus?

Abstract

This book examines how socioeconomic and institutional factors shaped the development of Socialism and its two contending variants of Social Democracy and Communism, investigating why each of these factions enjoyed varying levels of popularity in different societies between 1840 and 1945. It places a special focus on a number of factors including: inequality; industrialization; urbanization; political freedoms; literacy and education; national sentiments; ethnic fractionalization and other cultural factors. This important study offers a detailed and thorough analysis combining theory, empirical data and a number of important case studies reflecting the different dimensions of Socialism. It offers perspectives on the strength or lack thereof of Social Democracy and Communism during this period across a number of countries, including, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Britain, France, the United States, China, Mexico and many more. The work's multi-faceted approach provides a rich and thorough analysis of Socialism during this period with new and valuable insights stemming from its unique combination of historic analysis, political theory and institutional economics.
