Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Post-Industrialism But the general power to return to origins is an even greater matter; and what it needs is intellectual independence. Indeed, there is an un conscious truth ih the phrase of shallow people who talk of a man like Mr. Fenty as if he were behind the times. In one sense he is behind the times; as we speak of a man being behind the scenes. The man behind the scenes is at the back of things and the beginning of things. He knows where the actors come from, and how the whole performance began. He has seen all the machinery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Worlds for New: A Study of the Post-Industrial State March 1914. 23m'ovement to-day, like the French Revolution, may suffer a reaction. Meanwhile, the most extraordinary thing in the whole situation is that few appear to have connected these quarrels with certain fundamental contradictions involved in Socialist theory. It is possible for a man to be consistent and courageous if he has behind himl a consistent theory, but impossible if the theory be a bundle of contradictions. A man may not perceive such' inconsistencies in theory, but he will, nevertheless, not escape being involved in themi when he attempts to reduce them to practice. Such in consistencies will paralyse his will, and a man who acted courageously at one time of his life will, to all appearances, tend to act like a coward at another. For when he is called upon to reduce such theories to practice, his policy will become involved in contradictions.

Download or read book Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Classic Reprint written by German Woodhead and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?

Download or read book Class and Class Conflict in Industrial Society Classic Reprint written by Ralf Dahrendorf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Class and Class Conflict in Industrial Society Generalizing theoretical formulation and its empirical test are balanced in the present investigation. With R. K. Merton I regard theories of the middle range as the immediate task of sociological research: generalizations that are inspired by or oriented towards concrete observations. However, the exposition of the theory of social classes and class conflict stands in the center of this investiga tion. The resume of Marx's theory of class, the largely descriptive account of some historical changes of the past century, and the eriti cal examination of some earlier theories of class, including that of Marx, lead up to the central theoretical chapters; with the analysis of post-capitalist society in terms of class theory a first empirical test of my theoretical position is intended. The whole investigation re mains in the middle range also in that it is, as its title indicates, confined to industrial society.

Download or read book The Interior Urbanism Theory Reader written by Gregory Marinic and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interior Urbanism Theory Reader expands our understanding of urbanism, interiority, and publicness from a global perspective across time and cultures. From ancient origins to speculative futures, this book explores the rich complexities of interior urbanism as an interstitial socio-spatial condition. Employing an interdisciplinary lens, it examines the intersectional characteristics that define interior urbanism. Fifty chapters investigate the topic in relation to architecture, planning, urban design, interior architecture, interior design, archaeology, engineering, sociology, psychology, and geography. Individual essays reveal the historical, typological, and morphological origins of interior urbanism, as well as its diverse scales, occupancies, and atmospheres. The Interior Urbanism Theory Reader will appeal to scholars, practitioners, students, and enthusiasts of urbanism, architecture, planning, interiors, and the social sciences.
Download or read book The Future of the Post industrial Society written by David Emanuel Andersson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the ongoing transition from an industrial to a creative (or post-industrial) society and how the creative society depends on a ‘soft infrastructure’ of individualist values and institutions. It explains this by looking first at the key actors in the creative society: creative individuals and entrepreneurial individuals, using insights from social and cognitive psychology and the economic theory of entrepreneurship. It shows how individual creativity and entrepreneurship are supported by both cultural individualism, based on the work of political scientists Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel, as well as political individualism, the principles of a democratic market economy guided by classical liberalism. The book offers a number of policy implications that result from the connection of this multidisciplinary reconceptualization of individualism to economic creativity. It discusses a system of property rights that accommodates the creation of new property, ranging from the result of what we normally think of as product innovation to larger-scale innovations embodied in the formation of new lifestyle communities. It also considers examples such as universities that are more open to experimentation and more autonomous from government regulation, and a more liberal immigration policy that may result from the positive association between population diversity and creativity. This book is intended to support further interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on the creative society (also known as post-industrialism, the postmodern society or the knowledge-based society). It will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students working in political economy, entrepreneurship, institutional economics, Austrian economics, and public policy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Industrial Readjustment in the United States, Vol. 15 The accompanying report on Industrial Readjustment in the United States aims simply to define the problem, not to solve it. On issues so broad, so fundamental, and so intimately related to individual experience and conviction there must inevitably be wide differences of opinion. A clear statement of the questions involved should tend to narrow these differences and promote efforts to reach sound conclusions.

Download or read book The Englishwoman s Review of Social and Industrial Questions Vol 7 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-26 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Englishwoman's Review of Social and Industrial Questions, Vol. 7: Jan. 15th, 1876 &c., - why not every woman? Are turned against him. He thinks the measure is in favour of every woman; he is told that this is the ultimate object, although the Conservative is carefully told that it is not so. There is much unfairness underlying this assertion. Admiral Maxse should remember that there are among women and the advocates of Women's Suffrage as many diversi ties of opinion as there are among men, and. The supporters of any other public movement. It was easy when the friends of Women's Suffrage were but a few hundreds, for them to be unanimous; now that they are counted by tens of thousands, there are of course many Shades of opinion in their ranks. There are women who are Conservative, women who are Liberal; women who will support the Church in its extremest pretensions, and women who will do hearty battle for Disestablishment; there are women who wish for Adult Suffrage which includes of course every man or woman, married or un married, and women who are contented with the present basis of representation. The Suffrage party, as a party, is firmly united on one point, - that whatever other qualification for voting the Laws of England may insist upon, sex Shall not be a bar; but a movement which embraces such various opinions, does not merit the charge of insincerity, because the arguments used by some of its supporters differ widely from those brought forward by others: the wonder might rather be to see them working so unanimously together as they do, than that there Should be minor differences. The Women's Suff rage party can no more be accused of insincerity on this account, than can the Liberal Association, because some of its members advocate manhood suffrage, and some go no further than household franchise for counties.

Download or read book Education Work and Social Change in Britain s Former Coalfield Communities written by Robin Simmons and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents a range of chapters written by new and established authors, drawing on a range of different perspectives and traditions to critically analyse education, work and social change in the former coalfields. Historically, coal was one of Britain’s major industries, employing over a million men at its peak. But mining was more than an occupation - it was a way of life for those living and working in coalfield communities. Work, leisure, family relations and other dimensions of social life were centred upon the coal industry and its related institutions such as trade unions, working-men’s clubs and welfare institutes. These communities have, however, undergone significant social and economic change over time, not least in terms of the pain and suffering associated with the Great Strike of 1984–85, the successive waves of pit closures which took place thereafter and the eventual demise of the coal industry. The book will be of interest to academics drawing on sociology, social policy, history, geography and other subject disciplines.

Download or read book The Postal Service Classic Reprint written by J. J. O'reilly and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Postal Service No other branch of the Federal Government furnishes employment to so many men as the postal service, particularly that branch of it in which letter carriers and clerks are used. In every city vacancies occur frequently, by reason of death, resignation or transfer, and the prospects of employment are always good for intelligent young men of studious habits. (To secure an appointment in the postal service, as in other fields of labor, one must prove his fitness for the job desired. Uncle Sam requires that this shall be done in an open competitive examination, and usually there are hundreds, in the large cities thousands, competing in the same examinations. Taking New York City as an example, the annual appointments to each position average between 200 to 300, while the eligible lists usually contain 1,000 to 1,500 each. From this it will be seen that only a small percentage stand any show of appointment. Those that do succeed are the men who took pains to prepare themselves for the test by a careful study of the subjects required. The purpose of this book is to help the candidate to "brush up," to direct him in self-improvement, and point the way by which any person of ordinary intelligence, willing to devote his leisure moments to study, can pass a good examination and get within striking distance on the eligible list.
