Come il progresso finisce. Tecnologia, innovazione e destino delle nazioni

In this book, Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;considers&nbsp;the relationship between economic development and net nutrition. Highlighting new health patterns found from a thorough analysis of more than 320,000 height observations across imprisoned individuals and the general public in the 19th- and 20th-century United States, the book highlights a new history of United States net nutrition, health, and urbanization.The book begins with historical observations regarding wealth, income, agricultural productivity, transportation revolution, and disease in urban landscapes. Chapters span the Barker hypothesis, nutritional variations by region, migratory patterns, and domestic residence. Analysing data related to height, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and disease, Carson reveals previously unexplored and undetected health variation. The book examines the historical health of the American populace during industrialization as it relates to broader economic change and public well-being.Exploring the human cost of urbanization, the book offers economists, anthropometric researchers, economic historians, and anthropologists a new way to conceptualize the relationship between historical health data and urbanization.Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;
 is Professor of Economics for the College of Arts &amp; Sciences at the University of Texas, Permian Basin. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley for over 20 years.

Economic Welfare and Health During Development

Between 1934 and 1939 a wave of violent strikes and riots swept across the Caribbean. Roger Seifert explores how British political parties, trade unions, and pressure groups of the labour movement responded to these colonial struggles. Using diverse primary sources, Seifert shows similarities between these disputes and solidarity (or otherwise) with Caribbean workers. The book explores deep ideological divisions on labour, colonialism, and political rights within the British Left, which still shape politics today. A timely study of racism, empire, and class, this is essential reading for anyone interested in labour history, trade unionism, and global inequality.

This book provides a detailed look at Thomas Aquinas's view and understanding of economic activity. The work of Aquinas, one of the greatest thinkers of the Middle Ages, is contextualised within his own experiences, the history of the era, and the socio-economic changes underway in 13th-century Europe. Particular attention is paid to Aquinas's approach to risk, mapping out the different forms of risk he addresses, establishing typologies, and presenting it as a dynamic structure.


This book offers unique insight into the economic work of Thomas Aquinas. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, economic analysis of risk, medieval studies, philosophy, and theology.

Thomas Aquinas on Risk in Economic Activity

Argentine Freedom
 is the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: Is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger revival of the classical liberal tradition?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty-first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti-establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a new way to understand Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book is the first monograph exclusively addressing the dual agricultural economy, which is characterized by the coexistence of modern and traditional agriculture. The work presented here transcends the fragmented nature of prior research in this field and is dedicated to offering systematic solutions to related issues. The dual agricultural economy represents a distinctive stage in the modernization process of developing countries, exhibiting numerous differences from the conventional urban-rural dual economy, particularly in labor transfer mechanisms and the effectiveness of economic policies. Focusing on the patterns of labor mobility between urban and rural areas as well as within rural regions at this stage, the book begins by examining characteristic features of China's dual agricultural economy. It investigates the theoretical mechanisms underlying intra-rural labor transfer and, through integration with contemporary Chinese rural policy practices, provides a systematic analysis of the dual agricultural economic structure. Empirical validation is conducted using Chinese data, covering multiple dimensions such as urban unemployment, subsidy policies, employee training, wage gaps, and environmental protection. Notably, the book introduces an innovative mechanism for intra-rural labor transfer that moves beyond the applicability constraints of traditional models such as the Harris-Todaro framework, demonstrating effectiveness even in complex real-world contexts.

Labor Transfer and Development Policy in Dual Agriculture

Has capitalism always partnered with race? This book examines how capitalism operates through racialised structures across different moments in global history. Moving beyond conventional class-based analyses, the book deepens our understanding of capitalism's effects by exploring how race has been used to value, control and exploit populations. From slavery and colonial dispossession to global divisions of labour, sex tourism and consumerism, Prasad offers a vital critique of how capitalism not only damages those it devalues but also shapes the way we all live--and the condition of the planet itself.

Capitalism's Dark Complexion

Jürgen Kocka, einer der weltweit führenden Experten für das Thema, beschreibt in diesem Band die wichtigsten Formen und Veränderungen, die der Handels-, Industrie und Finanzkapitalismus vom europäischen Mittelalter bis zur heutigen Globalisierung durchlaufen hat. Kocka fragt in dieser umfassenden Einführung aber auch danach, welches Licht die letzten Krisen auf den Kapitalismus werfen und ob sich aus seiner Geschichte nicht etwas für die Gegenwart lernen lässt.

The volume "Historical Biodiversity in the Alps: Grassland Agroecosystems in the Last Millennium" discusses seminatural meadows, the most species-rich habitat types in Central Europe. It establishes closer links between history and grassland ecology than most long-term agricultural environmental history research in European mountains.
The publication covers a broad spectrum of topics that go far beyond agricultural history. It presents mutual interactions between (historical) grassland management and biodiversity, as well as the economic relevance of the latter in terms of both farming and gathering, which was motivated by many different objectives. The volume combines analysis and synthesis, and micro- and macro-historical approaches. The latter extend to Levantine trade in the Middle East, the US, and zonal steppes worldwide. The text is complemented by 169 informative photos, maps, sketches, and graphs for a multidisciplinary readership.
The findings are based on a variety of archival records, historical publications, pictures, maps, oral interviews, historical artefacts, and fieldwork, presented in an interdisciplinary (also paleoenvironmental) and transdisciplinary context.
Species-rich meadows are in serious decline. To encourage in-depth transdisciplinary cooperation and better policymaking, the historical sections of the volume are followed by the applicability of grassland history in the twenty-first century in order to explore agroecological approaches not usually taken during the development and spread of industrialized farming since the mid-twentieth century.

TIEFEL Führungsklarheit

Hier ist deine Buchbeschreibung für tredition - im Ton der Reihe, direkt und ohne Beraterfolie:

Agil. Das Wort, bei dem die einen aufatmen und die anderen die Augen verdrehen.
Für die einen bedeutet Agilität Freiheit, Lernen und Geschwindigkeit. Für die anderen: Beraterfolie, Sprachnebel und noch mehr Meetings. Beide haben recht - je nachdem, wie geführt wird. Genau hier setzt dieses Buch an.
Agilitätsklarheit trennt sauber: Agilität als Haltung und Führungslogik kann Unternehmen beweglicher, schneller und ehrlicher machen. Agilität als Etikett für Unklarheit produziert Frust, Zynismus und Erschöpfung. Wer ein Team selbstorganisiert nennt, ihm aber keine Entscheidungen erlaubt, betreibt Agilitätstheater - und zahlt dafür mit Vertrauen.
In zehn Kapiteln führt Band 4 der Reihe TIEFEL Führungsklarheit von der VUCA-Welt über das agile Manifest, agile Werte und Prozesse bis zu den Fragen, die wirklich zählen: Sind Sie und Ihr Team überhaupt fit fürs Agile? Wie machen Sie Teams beweglicher, ohne Rituale zu kopieren? Und wie führen Sie Agilität im Mittelstand sauber ein - ohne Methodenzirkus?
Jedes Kapitel folgt demselben Aufbau: kurze Einordnung, verdichteter Praxisfall, konkretes Werkzeug, Übung und Transfer in Ihren Führungsalltag. Dazu Arbeitsseiten und ein Umsetzungsplan, mit denen Sie sofort arbeiten können.
Für Geschäftsführer, Führungskräfte und Teams, die nicht agiler wirken wollen - sondern beweglicher, klarer und wirksamer führen.
Kein Buch zum Durchblättern. Ein Buch zum Arbeiten.

Beweglich führen, wenn die Welt nicht planbar ist

AGILITÄTS-KLARHEIT

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.
