"Clashes between vendors and authorities have become a common feature of our society. It is really a fact that vending has come with it some undesirable effects such a chaotic and disorderly business practices. Nevertheless, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye on vending or even eradicate it, especially when taking into account the fact that our employment levels are on the minimum side. In fact, most families have been sustained through vending during economic hard times of our society. This situation whereby the relationship between vendors and the local authorities is reminiscent of a 'cat and mouse affair' is unsustainable and does not benefit anyone. High costs are incurred in carrying out the fights, property at times is destroyed, there are injuries and in some rare cases fatalities and arrests are made. This book sought to offer practical solutions of how vending can get organised and by systematic much to the benefit our society socially and economically. Lessons were taken from other cases the world over. Entrepreneurs, the policy maker, the civic society and students will find this book much enlightening and interesting. Its contribution adds much value towards sustainable efforts of transforming Zimbabwe's economy and society to a progressive one"--Back cover.

This is a social, economic, and cultural history of food hawking in London, which challenges how we think about street food and urban life in both the past and present. Focused on London between the late sixteenth and early twentieth centuries, the book reconstructs the working lives of the poor women and men who sold fruit, fish, vegetables, milk, and dishes like pies and sausages on the streets, outside the formal economy of markets and shops. It demonstrates the complexity and sophistication of hawkers' work, as well as their vital roles in feeding the city during a critical period of expansion. It also shows how a deeper understanding of street selling provides a new perspective on key debates and issues within metropolitan history, including the improvement of the streets, economic polarization, the rise of retail and shopkeeping, working class diets, the gender division of labour, and the grand narrative of modernization. Finally, the book reflects on the demise of London street trading over the twentieth century and the emergence of a gastronomic street food trend since the 2007-8 financial crisis-highlighting the differences with hawkers' historical experience and that of street vendors around the world today.

Pratiquement sept ménages belges sur dix sont propriétaires de leur logement. La proportion est une des plus élevées en Europe. Et sans doute davantage encore de familles souhaiteraient le devenir. Acquérir une maison ou un appartement n’en reste pas moins un acte important, que l’on accomplit qu’une ou deux fois dans sa vie. Et financièrement, il engage pendant de nombreuses années. Autant ne pas se tromper. Pour ceux qui souhaitent approfondir certains aspects de la matière, en particulier sur le plan juridique, on recommandera trois ouvrages consacrés aux achats immobiliers, "281 questions et réponses sur la vente d'immeubles", d'Eric Riquier (Editions Kluwer), “ La vente d’immeubles», de Philippe Van de Vielle (De Buck Université) et « L’achat d’un immeuble en Belgique », de Paul-François Ghor Ain (Bruyant.) "281 questions et réponses sur la vente d'immeubles" couvre une somme d'aspects de la vente d'immeubles que l'on ne retrouve pas, tels quels, réunis ailleurs! Qu'il s'agisse des aspects mandataires de la vente, de la loi Breyne, des aspects notariaux de la vente (rédaction de l'acte au sens large), des aspects civils ou des questions accessoires comme la vente d'un bien loué, le mandat donné à un agent immobilier, etc . Sans tomber dans les pièges habituels de la vulgarisation dans une matière particulièrement complexe, l'ouvrage est rédigé dans un vocabulaire clair de nature à être compris du plus grand nombre sans qu'il soit besoin de posséder des notions juridiques. Les notions de base auxquelles il est fait référence sont expliquées ou définies lorsqu'il y a lieu.
