Stewart C: Country Life Readers: First-
Book; Volume 3

Country Life Readers: First- Book; Volume 3

The history of capitalism is a history of connections we have been taught not to see. What connects a Russian iron mine to a Caribbean sugar plantation? A New England fishing boat to an enslaved worker in Barbados? And what can those connections tell us about the clothes we wear, the food we eat and the phones in our hands today? In The Insatiable Empire, historian Franco Paz uncovers the hidden connections that built our modern world. Travelling across continents and centuries, he follows iron, salt, fish and sugar to reveal how seemingly separate lives became bound together in a new global system. Russian iron became the tools and chains of the Atlantic slave trade. Iberian salt preserved the fish that fed enslaved workers on Caribbean plantations. Their sugar transformed lives thousands of miles away. But this history did not end with abolition. Paz follows its threads into the present, revealing how the pursuit of cheap labour and limitless resources continues to shape our lives. Expansive, surprising and deeply human, The Insatiable Empire is a revelatory new history of capitalism and the people who made the modern world.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Voluntary sustainability systems and responsible sourcing promise to address adverse social and environmental outcomes within global value chains. But un-fair trade continues to disadvantage producers and workers in the Global South. Why have they failed? What should we learn from them? Drawing on 30 years of research and policy advice, this book examines the roots of sustainability systems in colonial trade and traces their proliferation under multinational retailers in the agrifood and garment sectors. It questions whether current sustainability systems truly benefit workers and small-scale producers, especially women. It argues there are structural tensions between short-term profit-driven business models and long-term sustainability goals. A searching assessment of the robustness of voluntary initiatives and the role of government regulation shows how we could make trade fairer for a more sustainable future.

Un-Fair Trade and Sustainability Systems

Cet extrait du Cours de Droit Civil Français, basé sur la méthode de Aubry et Rau et mis à jour en 1919 par Étienne Bartin, constitue une ressource juridique essentielle sur le régime des successions testamentaires et des dispositions à titre gratuit selon le Code Civil et la jurisprudence de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. L'étude s'ouvre sur les concepts fondamentaux de quotité disponible (la portion des biens dont le disposant peut librement disposer) et de la réserve héréditaire (la portion indisponible garantie aux héritiers en ligne directe). L'ouvrage analyse avec rigueur les modalités de calcul de la réserve en fonction du nombre d'enfants, l'impact des conflits de lois sur les biens mobiliers et immobiliers, et le rôle historique joué par le Droit Romain (*légitime*) et le Droit Coutumier (*réserve des quatre-quints*) dans l'établissement du cadre légal moderne. Une attention particulière est portée aux mécanismes de protection des héritiers réservataires, notamment l'**action en réduction**, qui permet de ramener les donations et les legs excessifs à la mesure légale de la quotité disponible. Le texte détaille les règles d'imputation des libéralités (faites à des étrangers, par préciput, ou en avancement d'hoirie) et les conditions strictes de l'exercice de l'action en réduction (nécessité de la qualité d'héritier acceptant, règles d'ordre des réductions). Le document explore les instruments complexes des libéralités, tels que le partage d'ascendant(par donation ou testament), en précisant sa nature juridique mixte (donation et partage) et les conditions de forme et de fond requises pour sa validité (nullité pour omission, rescision pour lésion du quart). Il aborde également le régime spécifique des institutions contractuelles(donations de biens à venir faites par contrat de mariage) et les donations entre époux faites pendant le mariage, soulignant les dérogations aux règles générales (irrévocabilité restreinte, caducité par prédécès). Enfin, l'étude traite en profondeur des modalités et des conditions des dispositions : validité des legs à terme ou sous condition, licéité des clauses (interdiction d'aliéner, conditions de mariage ou de célibat), et la prohibition absolue des substitutions fidéicommissaires. L'analyse des legs (universels, à titre universel, particuliers) est complétée par les règles d'acquisition, de délivrance et d'exécution, incluant le rôle et les pouvoirs de l'**exécuteur testamentaire**.

The Daily Life of Money in History

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

This monograph offers a comprehensive contextual analysis of Maine's Ancient Law, emphasising the author's use of various sources to construct the book's key themes. Ancient Law was written as a sophisticated piece of rhetorical prose grounded in Maine's education in the classics. Central to this analysis is the significant role of Roman law in shaping the narrative, particularly its influence on Maine's arguments and conclusions. The monograph also positions Maine's work within the broader intellectual debates of the nineteenth century, especially concerning the teaching of English law and Britain's colonial presence in India. By situating Maine's Ancient Law within this larger context, the study enhances our understanding of the text, revealing the historical legal framework that resonates in modern legal discourse and thought. This connection enriches our knowledge of Maine's contributions and highlights the enduring relevance of his ideas.

Agricultural Statistics

Agricultural Statistics is published each year to meet the diverse need for a reliable reference book on agricultural production. It covers an extensive list of issues related to agriculture including livestock, farm values, crop production, and foreign trade. The estimates for crops, livestock, and poultry made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture are prepared mainly to give timely current state and national totals and averages. They are based on data obtained by sample surveys of farmers and of people who do business with farmers. The survey data are supplemented by information from the Census of Agriculture taken every five years. Being estimates, they are subject to revision as more data become available from commercial or government sources. Unless otherwise indicated, the totals for the United States shown in the various tables on area, production, numbers, price, value, supplies, and disposition are based on official estimates. They exclude states for which no official estimates are compiled. Professionals in farming, ranching, agricultural consulting, and animal science will find this most valuable.

Weimarer Autoren in Amerika

After the First World War, the Berlin theater critic Alfred Kerr travels to America and Great Britain. Kerr, who calls New York the "greatest city in the world", visits the Broadway theaters and Wall Street, marvels at the subway, Times Square and Grand Central Station. He writes about Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape, talks to the satirist Henry Louis Mencken, the railroad magnate W. Averell Harriman - banking partner of the Bush family - and Adolph Ochs, the publisher of the New York Times. In London, he meets the poet George Bernard Shaw. But the book, written concisely and wittily, is much more than just a travelogue. After the war, when the mood in America and England became extremely hostile towards Germany, when German professors were dismissed and propaganda films agitated against Germany, Kerr is on a mission to explore the situation and ask for understanding and help for the fragile Weimar democracy.

"Although a major literary and cultural figure in pre-1933 Germany, the writer and critic Alfred Kerr is sadly little known in Britain where he spent his last years in exile and where he is best known, if at all, as the father of artist and children's author Judith Kerr. By translating Kerr's exile memoir, I Went to England, Alan Bance has already helped to redress this balance. He now brings Kerr's reflections on America and Britain in the years after the First World War to an anglophone audience, capturing Kerr's individual and aphoristic style. Kerr's reflections on subjects as diverse as postwar Anglo-American attitudes to the Germans, the skyscrapers of New York, a trip to the Henley Regatta or the beauty of the Scottish landscape offer a brilliant and kaleidoscopic view of a German traveller's experiences in the USA and Britain in the early 1920s."
-Susan Reed, Lead Curator Germanic Collections, British Library, London

Has there ever been a better traveling companion than Alfred Kerr? Urbane, keen-eyed, and generous in spirit, he surveyed New York in the Roaring 20s-"the most alert, the most stupendous, the truly newest of new worlds"-capturing its throbbing intensity in quick brushstrokes before taking on Britain, with London as his starting point. "New York and London" is a kaleidoscopic, breathless tour straddling two continents, filled to the brim with rapid-fire observations, philosophical asides, pithy character studies, and sharp commentary on national character. "My advantage is that I come from somewhere else, with a fresh eye for differences," he wrote. Precisely. 
-William Grimes, The New York Times

Alfred Kerr, feuilletonist and phrase-coining tastemaker, was the great theater critic of the Weimar Republic. As this pungent and addictive volume shows, he was also one of the great travel writers.
-Drew Lichtenberg, Dramaturg and Theater Critic
