The Whole Economy Work and Gender in Early Modern Europe


Free Download The Whole Economy: Work and Gender in Early Modern Europe
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009359355 | 243 Pages | PDF | 1.32 MB
Advocating a gender-inclusive approach to the history of work, this book both counts and accounts for women’s as well as men’s economic activity. Showcasing novel conceptual, methodological and empirical perspectives, it highlights the transformative potential of including women’s work in wider assessments of continuity and change in economic performance. Focusing on the period of European history (1500-1800) that generated unprecedented growth in the northwest – which, in turn, was linked to the global redistribution of resources and upon which industrialisation depended – the book spans key arenas in which women produced change: households, care, agriculture, rural manufacture, urban markets, migration, and war. The analysis refutes the stubborn contention of mainstream economic history that we can generalise about economic performance by focusing solely on the work of adult men and demonstrates that women were active agents in the early modern economy rather than passively affected by changes wrought upon them.

The Political Economy of Green Bonds in Emerging Markets


Free Download The Political Economy of Green Bonds in Emerging Markets: South Africa’s Faltering Transition
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031305019 | 417 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
Funding low-carbon transitions to address climate change is one of the major challenges of our time. Green bonds have emerged as a powerful tool to enlist institutional investors’ wealth for these transitions. But despite exponential growth in many parts of the world, the green bond market in South Africa has been stalling. This book project grapples with this puzzle. Firstly, it debunks some of the promises underpinning green bond markets and traces the manifold practices undergirding its promotion. Secondly, it identifies some barriers prohibiting the expansion of green bonds in emerging markets and zooms in on the depoliticizing tendencies a transition premised on financial innovation produces. Thirdly, this work discloses the idiosyncratic political economic challenges of a fossil-based economy in transition and shines a light on the competing elements of a ‘green’ and a ‘just’ transition. It argues that the limited uptake of green bonds can best be explained by the instrument’s inability to adequately incorporate the various demands levied on South Africa’s contested transition trajectory. In so doing, this book contributes important new qualitative insights into green bond markets-in-the-making and extends political economic scholarship on finance-led transition endeavors in emerging markets.

Pop Economy #Gamification – #Crowfunding – #Big Data – Tecnologia, scienze sociali e innovazione


Free Download Pop Economy: #Gamification – #Crowfunding – #Big Data – Tecnologia, scienze sociali e innovazione
Italiano | 2015 | ISBN: 8820367467 | 169 Pages | EPUB | 5 MB
"È duro fare previsioni, soprattutto riguardanti il futuro." È una citazione attribuita al fisico Niels Bohr e descrive bene il mood di questo libro. Pop Economy indaga gli effetti dell’innovazione tecnologica sulla vita delle persone e, in ultima istanza, sul nostro futuro e sul futuro dell’occupazione. Troppo spesso il domani è presentato come qualcosa da cui difendersi, più che come una promessa di miglioramento. E la tecnologia è vista come il grimaldello che invade le nostre vite. Parole come Big Data, Social Network, Disruption lasciano un senso di disagio e smarrimento. Pop Economy descrive la rivoluzione che sta interessando le scienze sociali, partendo dalla prospettiva che non è la tecnologia a peggiorare le nostre vite, ma il modo, semmai, in cui la si utilizza. Un libro che apre uno sguardo positivo sul futuro perché, come diceva Prévert, "Bisognerebbe tentare di essere felici, se non altro per dare l’esempio".

Interconnections in the Greek Economy


Free Download Interconnections in the Greek Economy: Between Macro- and Microeconomics
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031313348 | 243 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 7 MB
This book examines the economic interconnections of the Greek economy at a macro and micro level, allowing it to explore both the economic relations between the various sectors and the interconnections of various companies and overlaps in management boards. Two approaches are used to quantify interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral interfaces: the traditional input-output analysis approach and the "influence and information flow" approach through network analysis. The book’s first part presents the current conditions and the economic interconnections within the Greek economy. In the second part, during the analysis of microeconomic interconnections between individuals and companies, a much more thorough presentation of the economic interconnections of Greek companies is established. Finally, the book’s third part presents how the Greek economy must transform its production prototype under structural constraints and opportunities for economic diversification and inclusive growth and under the pressure of economic shocks and uncertainty.
