Book excerpt: India Is One Of The Countries Which Looks Upon Industrial Development As The Golden Means For Improving The Living Standards Of Her Teeming Millions. Why India Lags Behind In Industrial Development In Spite Of The Strenuous Efforts Made Under Successive Efforts Made Under Successive Plans Since Independence, Is A Question Asked Both By The Scholars And Ordinary People Alike. In Culture And Industrial Development: The Indian Experience, The Author Makes An Earnest Attempt To Uncover How Culture Matters In Industrial Development By Examining The Indian Experience. The Thrust Of The Study Is To Examine The Whole Process Of Industrial Development By Focusing On The Entrepreneur And The Industrial Worker, The Two Human Agents Involved In Industrial Activities. While Entrepreneurial Activities Were Growing At A Niggardly Rate During The Pre-Independence Period Apparently On Account Of The Absence Of Any Mercantile Tradition, The Entry Of The State As An Entrepreneur Has Been Detrimental To An Upsurge In Entrepreneurial Development During The Post-Independence Period. Marxian Ideology, Which Became The Accepted Creed With A Sizable Section Of The People In States Like Kerala And West Bengal, Has Been Obstructing The Growth Of Industrial Ventures Under Private Enterprise By Creating An Unfriendly Environment. To The Indian Tradition Relating To Work Which Is Termed As Aram , Meaning Rest And Relaxation, Militancy Also Has Been Added As Another Component In The Behavioural Pattern Especially With The Organized Labour Since Independence. Needless To Say, Such Behavioural Pattern Also Stands In The Way Of Any Orderly Development Of Industries. In Sum Dr. Joseph Presents An Array Of Facts And Figures Gathered From The Indian Experience To Uncover How Development Resistant Elements Of Culture Thwart The Process Of Industrialization Of Any Country.

Download or read book Culture Shift in Advanced Industrial Society written by Ronald Inglehart and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic, technological, and sociopolitical changes have been transforming the cultures of advanced industrial societies in profoundly important ways during the past few decades. This ambitious work examines changes in religious beliefs, in motives for work, in the issues that give rise to political conflict, in the importance people attach to having children and families, and in attitudes toward divorce, abortion, and homosexuality. Ronald Inglehart's earlier book, The Silent Revolution (Princeton, 1977), broke new ground by discovering a major intergenerational shift in the values of the populations of advanced industrial societies. This new volume demonstrates that this value shift is part of a much broader process of cultural change that is gradually transforming political, economic, and social life in these societies. Inglehart uses a massive body of time-series survey data from twenty-six nations, gathered from 1970 through 1988, to analyze the cultural changes that are occurring as younger generations gradually replace older ones in the adult population. These changes have far-reaching political implications, and they seem to be transforming the economic growth rates of societies and the kind of economic development that is pursued.

Download or read book Economics Culture and Development written by Eiman O. Zein-Elabdin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the treatment of culture and development in the discipline of economics, thereby filling a conspicuous gap in current literature. Economics has come a long way to join the ‘cultural turn’ that has swept the humanities and social sciences in the last half century. This volume identifies some of the issues that major philosophies of economics must address to better grasp the cultural complexity of contemporary economies. This book is an extensive survey of the place of culture and development in four theoretical economic perspectives—Neoclassical, Marxian, Institutionalist, and Feminist. Organized in nine chapters with three appendices and a compendium of over 50 interpretations of culture by economists, this book covers vast grounds from classical political economy to contemporary economic thought. The literatures reviewed include original and new institutionalism, cultural economics, postmodern Marxism, economic feminism, and the current culture and development discourse on subjects such as economic growth in East Asia, businesswomen entrepreneurs in West Africa, and comparative development in different parts of Europe. Zein-Elabdin carries the project further by borrowing some of the insights from postcolonial theory to call for a more profound rethinking of the place of culture and of currently devalued cultures in economic theory. This book is of great interest for those who study Economic development, International relations, feminist economics, and Economic geography

Download or read book Cultural Heritage Creativity and Economic Development written by Silvia Cerisola and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the relationship between cultural heritage and local economic development by introducing the original idea that one possible mediator between the two can be identified as creativity. The book econometrically verifies this idea and demonstrates that cultural heritage, through its inspirational role on different creative talents, generates an indirect positive effect on local economic development. These results justify important new policy recommendations in the field of cultural heritage.

Download or read book Cities Culture and Creativity written by UNESCO and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture and creativity have untapped potential to deliver social, economic, and spatial benefits for cities and communities. Cultural and creative industries are key drivers of the creative economy and represent important sources of employment, economic growth, and innovation, thus contributing to city competitiveness and sustainability. Through their contribution to urban regeneration and sustainable urban development, cultural and creative industries make cities more attractive places for people to live in and for economic activity to develop. Culture and creativity also contribute to social cohesion at the neighborhood level, enable creative networks to form and advance innovation and growth, and create opportunities for those who are often socially and economically excluded. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep impact on the cultural sector, yet it has also revealed the power of cultural and creative industries as a resource for city recovery and resilience. More generally, cities are hubs of the creative economy and have a critical role to play in harnessing the transformative potential of cultural and creative industries through policies and enabling environments at the local level. 'Cities, Culture, and Creativity' (CCC) provides guiding principles and a CCC Framework, developed by UNESCO and the World Bank, to support cities in unlocking the power of cultural and creative industries for sustainable urban development, city competitiveness, and social inclusion. Drawing from global studies and the experiences of nine diverse cities from across the world, the CCC Framework offers concrete guidance for the range of actors -- city, state, and national governments; creative industry and related private-sector organizations; creatives; culture professionals and civil society-- to harness culture and creativity with a view to boosting their local creative economies and building resilient, inclusive, and dynamic cities.

Download or read book Handbook of the Economics of Art and Culture written by and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume emphasizes the economic aspects of art and culture, a relatively new field that poses inherent problems for economics, with its quantitative concepts and tools. Building bridges across disciplines such as management, art history, art philosophy, sociology, and law, editors Victor Ginsburgh and David Throsby assemble chapters that yield new perspectives on the supply and demand for artistic services, the contribution of the arts sector to the economy, and the roles that public policies play. With its focus on culture rather than the arts, Ginsburgh and Throsby bring new clarity and definition to this rapidly growing area. Presents coherent summaries of major research in art and culture, a field that is inherently difficult to characterize with finance tools and concepts Offers a rigorous description that avoids common problems associated with art and culture scholarship Makes details about the economics of art and culture accessible to scholars in fields outside economics

Download or read book Culture Community and Development written by Rhonda Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture is a living thing. In social settings, it is often used to represent entire ways of life, including rules, values, and expected behavior. Varying from nation to nation, neighborhood to neighborhood and beyond, even in the smallest localities, culture is a motivating factor in the creation of social identity and serves as a basis for creating cohesion and solidarity. This book explores the intersection of culture and community as a basis for locally and regionally based development by focusing on three core bodies of literature: theory, research, and practice. The first section, theory, uncovers some of the more relevant historical arguments, as well as more contemporary examinations. Continuing, the research section sheds light on some of the key concepts, variables, and relationships present in the limited study of culture in community development. Finally, the practice section brings together research and theory into applied examples from on the ground efforts. During a time where the interest to retain the uniqueness of local life, traditions, and culture is significantly increasing in community-based development, the authors offer a global exploration of the impacts of culturally based development with comparative analysis in countries such as Korea, Ireland, and the United States. A must-read for community development planners, policymakers, students, and researchers.

Download or read book Culture Institutions and Development written by Jean-Philippe Platteau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does culture matter? This question has taken on added significance since fundamentalist revivalism has recently gained ground in different parts of the world. The old controversy between Max Weber and Karl Marx, which centres around the extent to which cultural factors such as social norms and values affect economic growth is of critical importance, particularly because of its policy implications. Indeed, if culture is not an autonomous factor susceptible to influencing economic realities, it should not matter and public authorities can dispense with thinking about cultural interventions. On the other hand, if culture does have a real impact, the question arises as to whether it is conducive or detrimental to economic growth, political liberalization, and the emancipation of individuals among other things. Culture, Institutions, and Development addresses this debate at a concrete level by looking at five important issues: the role of tradition and its influence on development; the role of religion, with special reference to Middle Eastern countries; the role of family, kinship, and ethnic ties in the process of development; the relationship between culture and entrepreneurship; and the relationship between culture and poverty. This collection offers a nuanced view that neither denies nor exaggerates the role of cultural factors in explaining relative growth performances across countries. Instead, the contributors focus on the dynamic, two-way relationship between culture and development in a way that stresses policy stakes and the value of multidisciplinary collaboration between economists, historians and other social scientists. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in all the social sciences, as well as to professionals working in national development agencies, international organisations, and Non-Governmental Organisations.
