Book excerpt: Labour has been on a wild ride over the past thirty years. New Labour argued that we had no choice but to accept a globalized free market economy in which the race was to the swift, the open and the flexible. Corbynism reacted against this with a jumble of old school statism and identity politics. Both ultimately failed. In this book, Maurice Glasman takes the axe to the soulless utilitarianism and ‘progressive’ intolerance of both Blair and Corbyn. Human beings, he contends, are not calculating machines, but faithful, relational beings who yearn for meaning and belonging. Rooted in their homes, families and traditions, they seek to resist the revolutionary upheaval of markets and states, which try to commodify and dominate their lives and homes, by the practice of democracy, mutuality and pluralism. This is the true Labour tradition, which is paradoxically both radical and conservative – and more relevant than ever in a post-COVID world. This crisp statement of the real politics of Blue Labour – rather than the absurd caricature of its detractors – is Glasman’s love letter to the left-conservatism that provides Labour’s best chance of moral – and indeed electoral – redemption.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimizing outcomes for women in labor at the global level requires evidence-based guidance of health workers to improve care through appropriate patient selection and use of effective interventions. In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) published recommendations for induction of labor in 2011. The goal of the present guideline is to consolidate the guidance for effective interventions that are needed to reduce the global burden of prolonged labor and its consequences. The primary target audience includes health professionals responsible for developing national and local health protocols and policies, as well as obstetricians, midwives, nurses, general medical practitioners, managers of maternal and child health programs, and public health policy-makers in all settings.

Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
Download or read book Common Sense and Labor written by Samuel Crowther and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Common Sense and Labour the economic truth presented to the attention of the laborer is that there can be no great increase in wages without an increase in production. There is undoubtedly a place for books which set forth sound economic principles in popular fashion, but in this case the useful effect which the book might have is largely nullified by reckless statements, such, for example, as the passage on page 89 in which it is asserted that "with few exceptions, the American worker of today is not producing as much in eight hours as he did in four before the war". The slightest examination of the available statistics of production would have convinced the author, if he is capable of being convinced, that the productivity of labor has not shrunk by anything like one-half. Indeed, other statements in the book are inconsistent with any such reduction in productivity. If, as the author says, the labor bill of the country is seventy-five per cent of the national product, and the efficiency of labor has shrunk one-half, from what source do the goods necessary to keep up present high real wages come? To make matters worse, the author attempts to give the impression that he has made detailed inquiries into the subject by adding, "The percentage varies, but generally speaking the efficiency is about one-half". The only study of the subject of productivity which the present writer has seen is in the Massachusetts Industrial Review for March, 1920. The data there given show that from 1914 to 1919 there has been an increase in output per employee in four of the seven establishments investigated and a decrease in the other three. Even the soundest economic doctrine in such hands is likely to fall into disrepute. --Political Science Quarterly, Volume 36

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense and Labour A large employer who has never had any difficulties of moment with his workers and who has given a great deal of his time to the study of how the employment relation might in all fairness be adjusted, remarked somewhat hopelessly the other day: "There is something I do not understand in my workers. In former years, we have always been able rather easily to arrive at adjustments and I have rather prided myself, I think, upon the sincerity of the union between myself and those I employ. I have scientifically worked out wage payments and they have always been satisfactory. I have so adjusted my affairs that the volume of work passing through the shops seldom decreases.
