Tracing the evolution of social capital since his highly acclaimed contribution of 2001 (Social Capital Versus Social Theory), Ben Fine consolidates his position as the world's leading critic of the concept. Fine forcibly demonstrates how social capital has expanded across the social sciences only by degrading the different disciplines and topics that it touches: a McDonaldisation of social theory. The rise and fall of social capital at the World Bank is critically explained as is social capital's growing presence in disciplines, such as management studies, and its relative absence in others, such as social history. Writing with a sharp critical edge, Fine not only deconstructs the roller-coaster presence of social capital across the social sciences but also draws out lessons on how (and how not) to do research.

Infrastructure and its effects on economic growth, social welfare, and sustainability receive a great deal of attention today. There is widespread agreement that infrastructure is a key dimension of global development and that its impact reaches deep into the broader economy with important and multifaceted implications for social progress. At the same time, infrastructure finance is among the most complex and challenging areas in the global financial architecture. Ingo Walter, Professor Emeritus of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics at the Stern School of Business, New York University, and his team of experts tackle the issue by focussing on key findings backed by serious theoretical and empirical research. The result is a set of viable guideposts for researchers, policy-makers, students and anybody interested in the varied challenges of the contemporary economy.

Mainstream historical accounts of the development of capitalism describe a process which is fundamentally European - a system that was born in the mills and factories of England or under the guillotines of the French Revolution. In this groundbreaking book, a very different story is told. The book offers a unique interdisciplinary and international historical account of the origins of capitalism. It argues that contrary to the dominant wisdom, capitalism's origins should not be understood as a development confined to the geographically and culturally sealed borders of Europe, but the outcome of a wider array of global processes in which non-European societies played a decisive role. Through an outline of the uneven histories of Mongolian expansion, New World discoveries, Ottoman-Habsburg rivalry, the development of the Asian colonies and bourgeois revolutions, the authors provide an account of how these diverse events and processes came together to produce capitalism.

Lors de la préparation du passage à l’euro, le Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière de la France a souhaité accompagner cet événement monétaire par une série de conférences intitulée « Les Français et leur monnaie : le louis, le franc, l’euro et les autres ». Cinq historiens de renom - Jean Favier, Guy Antonetti, Jean Tulard, Alain Plessis et Jean-Charles Asselain - ont répondu à l’invitation en offrant aux auditeurs une réflexion sur la monnaie en France du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Une table ronde, réunissant Raymond Barre, Jacques Delors et plusieurs hauts fonctionnaires acteurs des réformes monétaires des trente dernières années, ainsi qu’une allocution de Laurent Fabius, alors ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, ont clôturé ce cycle le 18 février 2002, lendemain du retrait de la monnaie nationale. Ces textes accessibles au plus grand nombre, accompagnés de glossaires et d’une chronologie détaillée, offrent des points de repère précis sur l’histoire de la monnaie depuis la naissance du franc en 1360 jusqu’à l’avènement de l’euro. Ces interventions soulignent l’importance de la monnaie comme instrument économique et financier et comme symbole et outil politiques. Elles rappellent également les conséquences des évolutions monétaires successives sur la vie quotidienne des Français. Cet ouvrage, préfacé par Thierry Breton ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, intéressera aussi bien les étudiants en histoire économique et financière que les numismates, et plus largement tous ceux qui auront connu la fin du franc.

Performance at all costs, productivity without regard to consequences, and a competitive work environment: these are the ethical factors discussed in The Anatomy of Ethical Leadership, which highlights issues in workplace culture while looking into a brighter future for labour ethics. Langlois maintains that an enhanced awareness of the process of ethical decision making in difficult situations will lead to the establishment of practices that encourage productive relationships between co-workers. Will the twenty-first century be marked as an era leading to a healthier work environment?

American Mobilities investigates representations of mobility - social, economic, geographic - in American film and literature during the Depression, WWII, and the early Cold War. With an emphasis on the dual meaning of "domestic," referring to both the family home and the nation, this study traces the important trope of mobility that runs through the "American" century. Juxtaposing canonical fiction with popular, and low-budget independent films with Classical Hollywood, Leyda brings the analytic tools of American cultural and literary studies to bear on an eclectic array of primary texts as she builds a case for the significance of mobility in the study of the United States. »Das Buch unterstreicht die Wichtigkeit, die Geschichte der Mobilität im 20. Jahrhundert zu schreiben und diese Geschichte in die bestimmenden sozialstrukturellen Entwicklungen der Moderne einzuordnen. Dazu bietet die Studie ein breites Panorama wertvoller Anknüpfungspunkte, nicht zuletzt durch ihre raumanalytischen Perspektiven.« Dirk Thomaschke, H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.01.2017 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 4 (2016) The Chronicle, 30.09.2016
