Abstract

The economy of ancient Rome, with its long-range trade, widespread moneylending, and companies of government contractors, was surprisingly modern. Yet Romans also exchanged goods and services within a traditional system of gifts and favors, which sustained the supportive relationships necessary for survival in the absence of extensive state and social institutions. In Gift and Gain: How Money Transformed Ancient Rome, Neil Coffee shows how a vibrant commercial culture progressively displaced systems of gift giving over the course of Rome's classical era. The change was propelled by the Roman elite, through their engagement in a variety of profit-making enterprises. Members of the same elite, however, remained habituated to traditional gift relationships, relying on them to exercise influence and build their social worlds. They resisted the transformation, through legislation, political movements, and philosophical argument. The result was a recurring clash across the contexts of Roman social and economic life.Neil Coffee's comprehensive volume traces the conflict between gift and gain from Rome's prehistory down through the conflicts of the late Republic and into the early Empire, showing its effects in areas as diverse as politics, law, philosophy, personal and civic patronage, marriage, and the Latin language. These investigations show Rome shifting, unevenly but steadily, away from its pre-historic reliance on mutual aid and toward the sort of commercial and contractual relations typical of the modern world.

Abstract

Over a span of thirty years in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the French Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe endured natural catastrophes from all the elements--earth, wind, fire, and water--as well as a collapsing sugar industry, civil unrest, and political intrigue. These disasters thrust a long history of societal and economic inequities into the public sphere as officials and citizens weighed the importance of social welfare, exploitative economic practices, citizenship rights, racism, and governmental responsibility. Paradise Destroyed explores the impact of natural and man-made disasters in the turn-of-the-century French Caribbean, examining the social, economic, and political implications of shared citizenship in times of civil unrest. French nationalists projected a fantasy of assimilation onto the Caribbean, where the predominately nonwhite population received full French citizenship and governmental representation. When disaster struck in the faraway French West Indies--whether the whirlwinds of a hurricane or a vast workers' strike--France faced a tempest at home as politicians, journalists, and economists, along with the general population, debated the role of the French state not only in the Antilles but in their own lives as well. Environmental disasters brought to the fore existing racial and social tensions and held to the fire France's ideological convictions of assimilation and citizenship. Christopher M. Church shows how France's 'old colonies' laid claim to a definition of tropical French-ness amid the sociopolitical and cultural struggles of a fin de siècle France riddled with social unrest and political divisions"--Publisher's website, January 16, 2018.

Abstract

Brahmin Capitalism explores the surprisingly dynamic role of established wealth in the rise of modern capitalism in the United States. Far from declining in prosperity and influence, elite Bostonians of illustrious lineage - the quintessential old money families on the American scene - successfully reinvented themselves. Better known as social reformers, philanthropists, and men of letters, these scions of wealth were also astute businessmen with immense financial resources. Venturing far afield from the comforts of the northeast, they painstakingly forged wide-ranging networks of capital, commodity, and labor flows that incorporated large territories in the American West into the economy of the United States. They played a decisive role in the reconstruction of the American economy during the decades after the Civil War, leading the way to the nationally-integrated corporate capitalism of the twentieth century.--

Abstract

There is a growing interest in the notion and practice of dramaturgy, which is often discussed either as the work of the dramaturg, or as the compositional, cohesive or sense-making aspects of a performance. Drawing on such views, 'The Practice of Dramaturgy' addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative rather than an instructive way. In the first part, 'Dramaturgy as Working on Actions', the editors and main authors of the book discuss three working principles that lie at the heart of their proposition, and return to the etymology of the term 'dramaturgy' ('drama'=action and 'ergon'=work) in order to scrutinize this further by relating it to debates on action, work and post-Fordist labour. The second part, 'Working on Actions and Beyond', opens up to different artistic, social and political perspectives that such understanding of dramaturgy may give rise to, through contributions by guest authors.

Abstract

Sociaal werk is zo oud als de straat. En wellicht nog ouder. Want de Romeinen legden hun eerste heirbaan in 312 v.C. En vóór hen waren de Grieken al vertrouwd met weldoeners en patronage. Dit boek vertelt 'een' geschiedenis van sociaal werk. Van de antieke tot de postmoderne tijd en van de liefdadigheid van keizer Augustus tot de actieve welvaartsstaat van Frank Vandenbroucke. Geschiedenis biedt een invalshoek om kritisch te kijken naar het hedendaagse sociaal werk. Dat meandert voortdurend tussen individu en samenleving, tussen rede en romantiek en tussen vrijheid en verantwoordelijkheid. Maar het motief van sociaal werk blijft door de eeuwen heen hetzelfde: mensen helpen vanuit welbegrepen eigenbelang. En vandaag? Leggen 'nieuwe sociale kwesties' als neoliberalisering en globalisering een hypotheek op de toekomst van sociaal werk, of bieden ze ook mogelijkheden?

Abstract

Wat als een historica over vijftig jaar terugkijkt naar het begin van de 21ste eeuw? Zij zal versteld staan dat wij - verblind door onze dagelijkse beslommeringen en ons kortetermijnperspectief? - de twee grootste bedreigingen die homo sapiens te wachten stonden niet zagen: een wereldomvattende klimaatcrisis met alle gevolgen van dien, en de digitalisering van arbeid die leidde tot massawerkloosheid en een algeheel verlies van zin en betekenisgeving.In 'Wat op het spel staat' analyseert Philipp Blom het historische scharnierpunt waarop wij ons bevinden aan de hand van verhelderende parallellen met andere historische aardverschuivingen, zoals het einde van het Romeinse Rijk, de Verlichting en de Duitse Weimarrepubliek. Het resultaat is een vlammend betoog vol sterke beelden en scherp verwoorde inzichten, dat iedereen zou moeten lezen die zich zorgen maakt over de toekomst van wat wij voor waardevol houden: vrijheid, tolerantie, het klimaat, arbeid, democratie en mensenrechten.Bron : https://www.managementboek.nl/boek/9789023465980/wat-op-het-spel-staat-philipp-blom
