Book excerpt: Globalization has changed the roles of cities in the global economy; the author conveys the need to understand the new order in our world, especially in light of the events of 9/11/2001. The knowledge that can be acquired from this book provides readers with a unique benefit: knowing about cities allows residents to see the opportunities as well as the risks that arise in them. This book allows readers to understand how we cope in today's world and why we live our lives the way we do within our communities. This book begins with an introduction to the phenomenon of globalization, and how the changes it has brought about have affected the social, political, and economic institutions of societies in both the more-developed and less-developed worlds. The book's second section concentrates on the psychology of the city and the community-building process; while its third section illustrates the city's structure and patterns. Finally, the author concentrates on urban problems and solutions to them. An excellent, up-to-date resource for urban sociologists and others who work in the fields of criminology, urban planning, health, housing, research, and development.
Download or read book The New Class Society written by Robert Perrucci and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensively revised, the second edition of The New Class Society includes innovative new sections and concepts throughout the book that identify and explore how complex organizational structures and actions create and perpetuate class, gender, and racial inequalities. The authors describe how 'inequality scripts' shape the hiring and promotion practices of organizations in ways that provide differential opportunities to people based on class, gender, and racial memberships. The authors also illustrate how privileged class members benefit from organizationally-based and perpetuated forms of inequality. The second edition retains its provocative argument for of an emerging 'double-diamond' social structure and its focus on class interests that are rapidly polarizing American society. New figures, tables, and references incorporate the latest information and research findings to document and illustrate key topics, such as the distribution of wealth and income, globalization, downsizing, contingent labor, the role of money in politics, media content and consolidation, the transformation of education, and the erosion of democracy. The second edition combines scholarship with an engaging style and flashes of comic relief-with several cartoons by some of the best satirists today. The book, accessibly written for undergraduate students, has been widely adopted in courses on stratification, economic sociology, and American society.

Download or read book Greed and Good written by Sam Pizzigati and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should we care that wealth in the United States is unequally distributed ” and getting more so every year? Should we worry that America's most wealthy, in just a generation, have more than doubled their share of the nation's wealth?Our nation's highest leaders certainly don't think so. They either ignore, or dismiss, the huge gaps in income and wealth that divide us. But these gaps, author Sam Pizzigati shows in his compelling new book, are undermining nearly every aspect of our lives, from our health to our happiness, from our professions to our pastimes, from our arts to our Earth.Greed and Good both reveals the horrific price we pay for tolerating inequality and dissects the case for greed, the old saws that apologists for inequality regularly trot out to justify the mammoth concentrations of wealth that tower all around us. These concentrations, Greed and Good argues, can and must be cut down to democratic size. And Greed and Good, in clear-headed and fascinating prose, even shows how.
Download or read book Clinton and Blair written by Flavio Romano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former President of the United States, Bill Clinton and, at the time of publication, still current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair have described their style of government as a ‘Third Way’. In this important and timely book, Flavio Romano identifies and clarifies the economic implications of this particular approach to public governance. Testing the validity of President Clinton’s and Prime Minister Blair’s claims of practising a Third Way Romano submits their economic policies to extensive theoretical and historical analysis. Through careful and detailed examination of their fiscal, monetary, education, employment and public and private investment policies, overwhelming evidence is presented to challenge these leaders’ claim of practising what they preach. This engaging book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of economics and politics and to those interested in world politics in general.
