Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to the ruling communist party of East Germany after the collapse of the Berlin Wall? The Left in Germany describes how the communist party's dissolution led to many of its core members founding a new party for a reuinified Germany. Over the last twenty years it has transformed many times, from the Socialist Unity Party to Party of Democratic Socialism to, finally, the successful Left party. Out of the East makes sense of these transitions, and reveals how a pariah party managed to survive and thrive in democracy.

Download or read book Society After Money written by Project Society After Money and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Society After Money is an interdisciplinary project between commons theory, evolutionary political economy, media studies and sociology, that enter into a dialogue with one another in order to look at their specific theories and criticisms of money. Conceived as the beginning of a necessary interdisciplinary dialogue, the possibilities of post-monetary forms of organization and production are taken into account and examined. On one hand there is a lot of talk about 'digital revolution', 'mediatized society', 'networks', 'Industry 4.0'. On the other hand the present is described in terms of crisis: 'financial crisis', 'economic crisis', 'planetary boundaries'. At once there is the description of a media-technological change along with massive social and ecological disruptions. Society After Money is based on the premise that there might be a conflict between digital media/digital technology and the medium of money – and perhaps new digital possibilities that allow alternative forms of economy. It criticizes what is normally seen as self-evident and natural, namely that social coordination has to be done by the medium of money. We're left with a highly innovative collection of contributions that initiates a broader social discourse on the role of money in the global society of the 21st century.

Download or read book The Oxford Companion to Beer written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1st Place Winner of the 2012 Gourmand Award for Best in the World in the Beer category. For millennia, beer has been a favorite beverage in cultures across the globe. After water and tea, it is the most popular drink in the world, and it is at the center of a $450 billion industry. Edited by Garrett Oliver, the James Beard Winner for Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional, this is the first major reference work to investigate the history and vast scope of beer. The Oxford Companion to Beer features more than 1,100 A-Z entries written by 166 of the world's most prominent beer experts. Attractively illustrated with over 140 images, the book covers everything from the agricultural makeup of various beers to the technical elements of the brewing process, local effects of brewing on regions around the world, and the social and political implications of sharing a beer. Entries not only define terms such as "dry hopping" and "cask conditioning" but give fascinating details about how these and other techniques affect a beer's taste, texture, and popularity. Cultural entries shed light on such topics as pub games, food pairings and the development of beer styles. Readers will enjoy vivid accounts of how our drinking traditions have changed throughout history, and how these traditions vary in different parts of the world, from Japan to Mexico, New Zealand, and Brazil, among many other countries. The pioneers of beer-making are the subjects of biographical entries, and the legacies these pioneers have left behind, in the form of the world's most popular beers and breweries, are recurrent themes throughout the book. Packed with information, this comprehensive resource also includes thorough appendices (covering beer festivals, beer magazines, and more), conversion tables, and an index. Featuring a foreword by Tom Colicchio, this book is the perfect shelf-mate to Oxford's renowned Companion to Wine and an absolutely indispensable volume for everyone who loves beer as well as all beverage professionals, including home brewers, restaurateurs, journalists, cooking school instructors, beer importers, distributors, and retailers, and a host of others.

Download or read book Sustainable Housing Finance for Low income Groups written by Daphne Frank and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving sustainable housing finance is a daunting goal for an increasing number of countries around the world. Time and again, this proves to be a challenge, particularly for programs that support low-income groups. The failure of government support can have devastating consequences and places added constraints on opportunities for social and economic development. This book investigates the institutional, financial, and social conditions that are necessary for housing programs to effectively address the increasing demand for shelter. Particular emphasis is placed on social networks as a critical component of sustainability. The book proposes an analytical model that illustrates the complexity of relationships and interactions between the diverse actors that participate, contest, and coalesce in and around housing finance programs. Drawing from a rich international experience - with six case studies from Chile, Ecuador, South Africa, and Thailand - it covers a wide range of organizational arrangements. The author demonstrates that the provision and continuity of housing solutions rest fundamentally on community groups and their social networks, with self-sufficiency in organizational capacity and resource management being paramount.

Download or read book Inverse Infrastructures written by Tineke M. Egyedi and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The traditional analysis of infrastructure networks has provided the conceptual rationalization for centralized monopolies for a century. In recent years, liberalization has shown that much wider participation can be beneficial. Innovative development in decentralized networks can be driven from below if government policies permit it, as vividly demonstrated by the Internet. This book contributes to a much needed exploration into the characteristics and implications of decentralized networks being driven from below, introducing new perspectives on the conception and analysis of infrastructure networks.' William H. Melody, Aalborg University, Denmark and Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands The notion of inverse infrastructures that is, bottom-up, user-driven, self-organizing networks gives us a fresh perspective on the omnipresent infrastructure systems that support our economy and structure our way of living. This fascinating book considers the emergence of inverse infrastructures as a new phenomenon that will have a vast impact on consumers, industry and policy. Using a wide range of theories, from institutional economics to complex adaptive systems, it explores the mechanisms and incentives for the rise of these alternatives to large-scale infrastructures and points to their potential disruptive effect on conventional markets and governance models. The approach in this unique book challenges the existing literature on infrastructures, which primarily focuses on large technical systems (LTSs). Rather, this study highlights unprecedented developments, analyzing the differences and complementarity between LTSs and inverse infrastructures. It illustrates that even large infrastructures need not require a blueprint design or top-down and centralized control to run efficiently. The expert contributors draw upon a captivating and wide-ranging set of case studies, including: Wikipedia; wind energy cooperatives, Wireless Leiden, rural telecom in developing countries, local radio and television distribution, the collection of waste paper, syngas infrastructure design, and e-government projects. The book discusses the feasibility of temporary infrastructures and unheard of ownership arrangements, and concludes that inverse networks represent a critical transformation of the accepted model of infrastructure development. Laying a foundation for future research in the area and suggesting ways to bridge the gap between policy and practice, this path-breaking book will prove a riveting read for academics, students and researchers across a number of disciplines including economics, business, management, innovation, and technology and policy studies.

Book excerpt: Page 7 Life Chance Guarantees: A new agenda for social policy Introduction The global economy where capital and production are free to move all over the world has subjugated the living standards of working people to the imperatives of capital growth. [...] Then, taxes were cut for upper-income earners while they were increased for middle-income earners by reducing the number of tax brackets to just three, which led to a flattening of the progressivity of the income tax system. [...] The jump in the marginal tax rate from 17% for low-income earners to 26% in the middle- income bracket was the steepest among the Group of Seven (G-7) countries 5 Kitchen-Life Chances B&W Oct.05. [...] In contrast, gains for the more than 10 million Canadians with earnings of less than $60,000 a year have been limited despite the recent re-indexation of tax brackets lowering the middle-income tax rate to 23% and substantially raising the basic personal exemption of income to $10,000 by 2009. [...] In 1993, the federal government combined the welfare mandate of Health and Welfare Canada with the employment (and Unemployment Insurance) mandate of Employment and Immigration Canada in the new Department of Human Resources Development.
