Описание: This book assesses how major social theorists explained processes of change set in motion by the rise of capitalism. It situates them in the milieu in which they wrote. They were never neutral observers standing outside the conditions they were trying to explain. Their arguments were responses to those circumstances and to the views of other commentators, living and dead. Some repeated earlier views; others elaborated subtle differences; and a few changed the way we think. While Patterson surveys earlier writers, his primary focus is on the legacies of theorists writing after the 1840s, who sought to explain the consequences of industrialization, imperial expansion, and the consolidation of nation-states. The theories of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber still shape our understandings of the past and present, and our visions for the future. The author pays particular attention to explanations of the unsettled conditions that appeared after World War I and persist to today: the rise of socialist states, anti-colonial movements, prolonged economic crises, and almost continuous war. After World War II, theorists in capitalist countries, influenced by Cold War politics, saw social change in terms of economic growth, progress, and modernization; their contemporaries in less-industrialized countries wrote about the development of underdevelopment, dependency, or uneven development. In the 1980s, theorists of postmodernity, neoliberalism, globalization, innovations in communications technologies, and the collapse of socialist countries argued that these processes rendered earlier accounts insufficient. Others viewed social change as manifestations of a new imperialism, capitalist accumulation on an increasingly global scale, environmental crises, and the rise of nationalist populism.
With the advent of colonialism and the monetarized market economy, the gift economy, once a widely embedded cultural and economic practice, has become a niche of modern diplomacy, often serving as the means for corruption rather than human connection.
In presenting an overview of the history and development of the gift economy, Vjeran Katunaric defines this exchange as a form of communication, similar to language, rather than an exchange that is merely material. By examining different theoretical approaches, including neoclassical, radical feminist, and conservative Christian views, the chapters explore how nonlinear forms of development may contribute to correcting the failures of competitive markets. Katunaric advocates for the gift economy as a means for introducing balance between planning and the market, as well as between the public and private sectors of the economy. In this way, a sense of restoring, and restorative, peace may be spread around the globe, along with a more equitable distribution of financial resources.
On the whole, A Sociological Examination of the Gift Economy presents gift-giving as an intuitive path toward a viable economy, society, and culture here on Earth, and even toward an amiable engagement with our cosmic surroundings in the future.
Описание: Offering multilayered explorations of Hindu understandings of the Feminine, both human and divine, this book emphasizes theological and activist methods and aims over historical, anthropological, and literary ones.
Описание: Grounded in a philosophical approach that draws on the work of Aristotle, Arendt, Keynes, and others, the volume deconstructs modern work-based society, as well as mainstream institutionalized education, which the author argues have systemically alienated students from their education, authorial agency, and society itself.
