Natuur, geld, werk, zorg, voedsel, energie en levens. Dat zijn de zeven zaken die onze wereld hebben gemaakt tot wat ze is, en die haar toekomst zullen bepalen. Door deze dingen goedkoop te maken, heeft de moderne commercie de aarde bestuurd, veranderd en verwoest.In Een geschiedenis van de wereld in zeven goedkope zaken ontwikkelen Raj Patel en Jason W. Moore een nieuwe kijk op de noodsituatie waarin onze planeet vandaag de dag verkeert. Gedurende de gehele geschiedenis hebben crises steeds geleid tot de ontwikkeling van nieuwe strategieën om de wereld goedkoop en veilig te maken voor het kapitalisme. Nu er sprake is van een crisis in alle zeven zaken, is innovatief en systemisch denken noodzakelijk. In dit boek wordt een radicale nieuwe kijk op de planeet gepresenteerd, met een nieuwe manier om haar te herstellen.Raj Patel is schrijver, activist en academicus. Eerder schreef hij Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System en De waarde van niets: Waarom alles zoveel meer kost dan we denken. Jason W. Moore doceert wereldgeschiedenis en wereldecologie aan Binghamton University en is coördinator van het World-Ecology Research Network. Hij schreef onder meer Capitalism in the Web of Life: Ecology and the Accumulation of Capital en een groot aantal bekroonde essays over milieugeschiedenis, politieke economie en sociale theorieën.Bron : http://www.boom.nl

Dit boek opent met de rol van de 'staat' als duurzame politieke organisatie in dienst van de samenleving en de democratie als staatsvorm. Vervolgens staat de auteur stil bij multi- en interculturaliteit in de samenleving, bij de problematiek van de 'leidcultuur' en de verdraagzaamheid. Toenemende maatschappelijke tegenstellingen en financiële ongelijkheid worden in verband gebracht met een (collectief) individualistisch leefpatroon, wat (gelukkig) meer en meer ondergeschikt raakt aan het maatschappelijke streven naar verbondenheid en solidariteit.De waarden van de Franse Revolutie 'vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederlijkheid' zijn basiswaarden voor een solidair burgerschap op weg naar een harmonische en vreedzame samenleving. Ze worden uitvoerig en geactualiseerd besproken, evenals de drang naar het zinvolle, goede en gelukkige leven in het huidige bestaan en in een historisch perspectief. Tot slot wordt het verband gelegd met de actuele coronapandemie en de klimaattransitie.https://gompel-svacina.eu/product/burgerschap-en-vrede-in-onzekere-tijden/https://gompel-svacina.eu/product/burgerschap-en-vrede-in-onzekere-tijden/

When Deng Xiaoping launched China on the path to economic reform in the late 1970s, he vowed to build "socialism with Chinese characteristics." More than three decades later, China's efforts to modernize have yielded something very different from the working people's paradise Deng envisioned: an incipient kleptocracy, characterized by endemic corruption, soaring income inequality, and growing social tensions. China's Crony Capitalism traces the origins of China's present-day troubles to the series of incomplete reforms from the post-Tiananmen era that decentralized the control of public property without clarifying its ownership. Beginning in the 1990s, changes in the control and ownership rights of state-owned assets allowed well-connected government officials and businessmen to amass huge fortunes through the systematic looting of state-owned property-in particular land, natural resources, and assets in state-run enterprises. Mustering compelling evidence from over two hundred corruption cases involving government and law enforcement officials, private businessmen, and organized crime members, Minxin Pei shows how collusion among elites has spawned an illicit market for power inside the party-state, in which bribes and official appointments are surreptitiously but routinely traded. This system of crony capitalism has created a legacy of criminality and entrenched privilege that will make any movement toward democracy difficult and disorderly. Rejecting conventional platitudes about the resilience of Chinese Communist Party rule, Pei gathers unambiguous evidence that beneath China's facade of ever-expanding prosperity and power lies a Leninist state in an advanced stage of decay.

This important and topical volume is composed around the debt and migration crisis in Europe in 2015 (known as the Greece crisis), and written almost concurrently as the two crises developed in quick succession. The central argument here is that Europe’s present crisis suggests a post-colonial bind, or to put in stronger terms, a post-colonial destiny of Europe. The European situation bears remarkable similarity with the post-colonial condition elsewhere in the world and suggests a strong bond between Europe’s present situation and the post-colonial bind in which much of the world finds itself. The purpose of this volume is to examine in the light of 21st century capitalism notions such as debt, crisis, rupture, dialogue, mobilization, neo-liberalism, war and migration, and the old, never to be settled, question of ideology. The volume ends with reflections on Europe’s migration crisis, and reinforces the point that a critical post-colonial sense of history, accumulation, globalization, and the resilience of the nation form will help us reflect on the present European crisis, and draw appropriate lessons. .

What did Protestants in America think about capitalism when capitalism was first something to be thought about? The Bible told antebellum Christians that they could not serve both God and mammon, but in the midst of the market revolution most of them simultaneously held on to their faith while working furiously to make a place for themselves in a changing economic landscape. In Friends of the Unrighteous Mammom, Stewart Davenport explores this paradoxical partnership of transcendent religious values and earthly, pragmatic objectives, ultimately concluding that religious and ethical commitments, rather than political or social forces, shaped responses to market capitalism in the northern states in the antebellum period. Drawing on diverse primary sources, Davenport identifies three distinct Christian responses to market capitalism: assurance from clerical economists who believed in the righteousness of economic development; opposition from contrarians who resisted the changes around them; and adaptation by the pastoral moralists who modified their faith to meet the ethical challenges of the changing economy. Delving into the minds of antebellum Christians as they considered themselves, their God, and their developing American economy, Friends of the Unrighteous Mammon is an ambitious intellectual history of an important development in American religious and economic life.
