Download or read book Theories of the Labour Market and Employment written by Lewis F Abbott and published by Industrial Systems Research. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews theory, research, and methods of analyzing the labour market and employment. Free and flexible labour markets can automatically end both labour surpluses (unemployment) and labour shortages (over-employment). However, in practice various things may impede wage flexibility, freedom of contract, and labour mobility and thus the balancing of supply and demand. Protectionist minimum wage tariff barriers and other obstacles to labour market entry and competition are one major general cause of unemployment. Technological and other business-economic development is a second major general cause while contraction or recession in economies is a third. The book argues that broadly dividing unemployment into obstructional, developmental, and contractional types is more accurate and useful than distinguishing between frictional, structural, and cyclical forms (the conventional economic classification). It also argues that is inadequate to analyze labour markets or explain employment and unemployment in purely economic terms. Even in the most developed, differentiated and autonomous market capitalist economies, external socio-cultural, personality, and physical-organic environmental factors still impinge on labour markets and employment. A general theme of the book is the importance of bringing in empirical data from the real world to support or disprove theories. Contents: 1.

Download or read book Political Barriers to Housebuilding in Britain written by Lewis F. Abbott and published by Industrial Systems Research. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, political barriers have severely hampered housebuilding in Britain. Governments have blocked urban expansion, stymied new low-cost production methods, and restricted the supply of new housing to the market in other ways. They have thereby artificially raised prices and excluded many lower income households from owner-occupation. This study analyses political barriers to housebuilding as a special form of political-economic protectionism ¿ the equivalent of quotas and tariffs on international goods imports. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned about supply shortages and the high cost of good new homes ¿ not just in Britain but in other industrial countries also. 1.

This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 6838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English writer and social critic Charles Dickens was the pre-eminent novelist of the Victorian era. His books created great fictional characters and left permanent marks on literature, popular culture, and socio-political commentary. The novels feature evocative depictions of London life and strong themes of morality and redemption. Dickens first published many of them in serialized form in magazines – a practice aimed at engaging broad audiences and increasing anticipation for later instalments. The present book consists of 15 of the novels – compiled in one volume with modernized language for improved accessibility, readability, and understandability. The main goal has been to make the writings more engaging and vivid while sticking to the original tones and settings of the books. In "A Christmas Carol" (1843), the miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge receives four ghostly visitors on Christmas Eve who teach him the value of kindness, generosity, and the Christmas spirit. Dickens set "A Tale of Two Cities" (1859) against the backdrop of the French Revolution. The novel explores themes of resurrection, justice, and sacrifice through the lives of characters caught between Paris and London. "Great Expectations" (1860-1861) is the story of young Pip's journey from poor orphan to person of substance. The novel explores themes of wealth and poverty, love and rejection, as Pip eventually realizes what is valuable in life. In "Oliver Twist" (1837-1839), a young orphan navigates the grim underworld of Victorian London, confronting thieves and villains as he seeks a true family and a better life. "David Copperfield" (1849-1850) is a semi-autobiographical novel detailing the life and adventures of David Copperfield, from his troubled childhood to his eventual success as a writer, highlighting the importance of perseverance and personal integrity.

"Dombey and Son" (1848) tells the story of a wealthy and proud businessperson who values his son as an heir to his fortune over his daughter. Redemption and familial love prevail in the end. Dickens set "Hard Times" (1854) in the fictional heavy industrial Coketown. The novel criticizes "utilitarian" philosophy and general material conditions in the town through the lens of particular individuals and their interwoven lives. "Little Dorrit" (1855-1857) tells the story of Amy Dorrit – born and raised in debtor's prison – and her impact on those around her. Dickens criticizes the British establishment and the injustices of the debtor's prison system. "Martin Chuzzlewit" (1843-1844) is a satirical novel exploring the theme of selfishness. It follows the fortunes and misfortunes of young Martin as he learns the value of being selfless. "Nicholas Nickleby" (1838-1839) describes the adventures of a man as he seeks to support his mother and sister after his father's death. He faces assorted villains but also finds allies in Victorian England. "Our Mutual Friend" (1864-1865) is Dickens' last completed novel. It examines the lives of several characters linked by a deceased man's fortune and explores themes of wealth, social class, and human nature. "The Old Curiosity Shop" (1840-1841), tells the story of Nell Trent and her grandfather after a vicious loan shark destroys their lives.

Download or read book Jacob Burckhardt s The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy written by Jacob Burckhardt and published by Industrial Systems Research. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new modernized version of The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy by the Swiss historian and art critic Jacob Burckhardt. It presents the text in contemporary language to improve accessibility and engagement for present-day readers. First published in 1860, Burckhardt’s book brilliantly analyzes Italian arts, culture, politics, and society. In reviving classical ideas and values, the Italian Renaissance was a marked departure from the Middle Ages. Here as elsewhere in the Europe of the Renaissance, the driving spirits were humanism, individualism, secularism, and the pursuit of knowledge. However, Italy had important distinctive features in the patronage of the arts, the ascent of the merchant class, the city-states, and the rise of the “Renaissance man” or “universal man” adept in multiple disciplines. The arts both reflect and shape the society, its values, and the aspirations of individual people. Burckhardt delves deeply into the evolving art and architecture of Renaissance Italy. We read of the resurgence of ancient Greek and Roman forms, the rediscovery of perspective, the mastery of human anatomy, and the illustrious contributions of artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The book has exerted a profound influence on our understanding and interpretation of the Renaissance. Burckhardt's emphasis on individualism, secularism, and celebrating human achievement continues to shape scholarly discourse surrounding this subject. Later research has challenged and refined some of Burckhardt's ideas. Nonetheless, his work remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the cultural and intellectual history of a momentous era.

Download or read book Walter Pater s The Renaissance Studies in Art Poetry written by Walter Pater and published by Industrial Systems Research. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance was a significant movement in European cultural history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. It did not just revive but in many respects surpassed the ideas and achievements of classical antiquity. Renaissance thinking drew on Greco-Roman philosophy, including the famous humanist dictum of Protagoras that “Man is the measure of all things”. This thinking permeated multiple fields, from art and architecture, through politics, to science and literature. The contributions of the movement were vast. For instance, the artistic realm experienced a revolution with the advent of techniques such as oil painting with linear perspective. Developing concrete production techniques allowed for creating majestic architectural wonders. The printing and publishing trades expanded access to knowledge and ideas. Setting up popular educational institutions opened doors to learning for a broader part of society. In science, the Renaissance fostered empirical observation and experimentation. Further, the period witnessed significant advancements in banking and accounting practices, shaping the foundations of modern finance. However, we still mostly remember the Renaissance for the art of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and other polymaths. This is a modernized version of Walter Pater's seminal 1873 book on art and poetry during the Renaissance – translating it into present-day English to improve its readability and understandability. Walter Pater (1839-1894) was an English essayist, literary and art critic, and philosopher. His work has had a lasting impact on commentary and debate in art criticism and cultural studies. Pater explores the Renaissance through analyses of the masterpieces of renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. He uncovers the literature and philosophy shaping this important period in history. He also advocates “art for art’s sake” – free of moral, political, religious, or other motives and considerations.
