Описание:
This is a much enlarged edition - with 4 further essays and a new introduction added - of Professor Rubinstein's influential study of the evolution and composition of Britain's elites since 1750.
The author is the leading historian who has reshaped our knowledge of the top strata of British society. He shows the key importance of London and of the relative insignificance of the manufacturing and heavy industries of the North of England for Britain's elite of wealth and power.
He focuses on the development of Britain's wealth and elite structures since industrialisation. The work is based on intense and original pioneering research into individual wealth-holders and elite members.
The essays include three which discuss 'survivals' in modern British history, patterns and movements which historians have overlooked because they 'shouldn't be there'.
A substantial new introduction reviews the recent historiography of the subject, and brings up-to-date earlier material.
Contents: New introduction; list of tables; Wealth: The Victorian Middle Classes: Wealth, Occupation and Geography; Wealth, Elites and the Class Structure of Modern Britain; The Geographical Distribution of Middle-class Income in Britain, 1800-1914; Entrepreneurial Effort and Entrepreneurial Success: Peak Wealth-holding in Three Societies, 1850-1939. Elites: New Men of Wealth and the Purchase of Land in Nineteenth-Century Britain; Education and the Social Origins of British Elites, 1880-1970; The Evolution of the British Honours System Since the Mid-Nineteenth Century; Survivals: The End of 'Old Corruption' in Britain, 1780-1860; Charles Dickens, R. Austin Freeman and the Spirit of London; British Radicalism and the 'Dark Side' of Populism.
Additional essays: The Social Origins and Career Patterns of Oxford and Cambridge Matriculants, 1840- 1900; The Size and Distribution of the English Middle Classes in 1860; Businessmen Into Landowners: The Question Revisited; The Secret of Leopold Amery.
Despite its prominence in public discourse, the notion of elites remains a highly contested and ambiguous part of modern political discourse. This monograph rehabilitates the idea of elites and gives it a solid theoretical footing, while relating it with the historical development of liberal thought in the west. The analysis offered in the book concentrates on the tradition of liberal political thought in France, which has consistently tackled the question of the elites, their role in society, and the process of their formation.
Combining theoretical insights with practical wisdom, French liberal thinkers have seen the elite as an indispensable social category and as a vehicle for the development of human liberty. In their different prescriptive doctrines, French liberal thinkers have sought to reconcile the emergence of social elites with the requirements of social and political equality, as well as with the ongoing modernization of mores and institutions. The monograph offers a unique contribution to scholarship in modern political thought by engaging analytically with the notion of elites, as well as by offering a structured discussion on the historical development of liberalism in France.

Описание: "Dit boek is een vervolg op Grepen uit de Geschiedenis van de Automatisering dat in 1992en in 1995 is uitgebracht en na te zijn uitverkocht niet meer is verschenen. In 2017 hebik besloten om deze geschiedenis, mede op verzoek van anderen, een vervolg te gevenen wel onder dezelfde titel. Tegelijkertijd zijn in de oorspronkelijke tekst aanpassingenen aanvullingen gedaan, waar dat nodig was. Het Woord vooraf van de oorspronkelijkeuitgave startte met het volgende.De komst van de eerste computers luidde het begin in van de moderne geschiedenisvan de automatisering; een geschiedenis die al weer enige decennia van de twintigsteen eenentwintigste eeuw bestrijkt. Maar daarbij dient wel te worden bedacht dat er ookeen oude geschiedenis van de automatisering is, die teruggaat tot de Middeleeuwen enzelfs ver daarvoor. Omdat de mens altijd getracht heeft het rekenen en het beheer vanverzamelingen te ondersteunen met technische hulpmiddelen, zijn door de eeuwenheen talrijke, vaak heel ingenieuze hulpmiddelen bedacht. De wens steeds nauwkeurigernatuurkundige en boekhoudkundige aspecten te kunnen beschrijven en het menselijkvernuft hebben ertoe geleid dat steeds beter toepasbare methoden en techniekenzijn gerealiseerd. Uitgedrukt in tijd bestrijkt de oude geschiedenis een periode die velemalen langer heeft geduurd dan de periode waarin de moderne computer zich wist teontwikkelen. Die lange periode kenmerkt zich door vele uitermate boeiende ontwikkelingendie in veel gevallen als voorlopers zijn te beschouwen van de denkwijzen entechnische producten van dit moment. Om die reden wordt in dit boek met betrekkingtot het begrip automatisering geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen de periode waarin hetbegrip `automatisering` gemeengoed is geworden en de periode waarin men anderetermen gebruikte bij het ontwikkelen en toepassen van allerhande middelen. Deze benaderingis min of meer te vergelijken met de Engelse aanduiding history of computing dat alles op rekengebied en bijbehorende hulpmiddelen omvat.Over die lange automatiseringsperiode zijn inmiddels vele boeken en artikelen verschenen.Toch blijft veel van het beschrevene min of meer verborgen, zeker in Nederland.Het beperkt zich meestal tot een aantal vaak herhaalde hoofdlijnen waarin steeds weerdezelfde personen en dezelfde apparaten worden genoemd. Kennelijk is het niet zoeenvoudig om tot de omvangrijke buitenlandse literatuur door te dringen om een watbreder beeld te krijgen. Tot de onmogelijkheden behoort dat zeker niet. Wel zal mendan niet zelden met veel technische details worden geconfronteerd die niet altijd evengemakkelijk te begrijpen zijn."

Описание: Western-educated Elites in Kenya, proposes to conduct a critical examination of the emergence of the American-educated Kenyan elites (the Asomi) and their role in the nationalist movement and eventually their Africanization of the Civil and Private sectors in Kenya.

Описание: This book explores symbolic means of legitimation of medieval Scandinavian elites. It maps out a wide set of cultural practices (literary, spatial, legal, ritualistic, sacral etc.), offering new perspectives to students and researchers on medieval Nordic political order and social distinction.
Описание: This book, first in a series of three, examines the social elites in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland, and which social, political and cultural resources went into their creation, through questions such as: Which types of resources were at play? How did the elites acquire and exchange resources?
Описание: This book explores the changing nature of social movements and economic elites in post-Second World War Europe. In the years following 1945, Europe faced diverse challenges connected by the overriding question of how the reconstruction of the continent should proceed. For the Central Powers, the implementation lay in the hands of the Allied occupying forces who organised the process of denazification and the establishment of a new economic order. In countries without military occupation, there was a deep gap between the new governmental forces and the former collaborators. In both cases, social movements which were formed by anti-fascists on the left of the political spectrum assumed the task of social reorganisation. The chapters in this book explore the discourses about economic systems and their elites which moved to the fore across a range of European countries, uncovering who was involved, what resistance these social movements faced and how these ultimately failed in the West to bring about change, while in Eastern Europe Stalinism forcibly imposed change.
Описание: Modern Mexico derives many symbols of identity and heritage from its Aztec legacy. This book demonstrates that such emotional links to the native past originated in part among colonial-era indigenous leaders who adapted ancestral memories following the Spanish conquest, eventually enabling American-born Spaniards to likewise identify with this ancient legacy.
