Enduring Wealth

Being Rich in This World and the Next

Whoever does not know the history of economics cannot competently think about its future. This book offers an introduction to economic history for those seeking more than just dry theory. The author takes you on a journey through economics, from its beginnings in the Stone Age to the digital age of modern times. In addition to exploring the nature and fundamental principles of economics, the book also introduces great thinkers such as Aquinas, Keynes, and Erhard. 
While ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle primarily focused on the ethical dimensions of economic activity, the first modern economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith, considered how nations could achieve wealth. Today, however, in an era where capitalism is increasingly under scrutiny, the question is rather how prosperity can reach everyone. Thus, the book not only delves into the economic concepts of the past and present but also offers an exciting look at the future. Issues such as social justice, digitalization, globalization, and ecology are thoroughly discussed. 
The second edition has been expanded to include a chapter on “Economics in Uncertain Times,” which addresses the economic consequences of current global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. 
The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

On Prosperity, Digitalization, and Justice

A Journey Through Economics

This book takes you on a journey into the future of ethical research, offering a collection of expert commentaries on the latest revision of the World Medical Association's cornerstone document, &nbsp;exploring its profound implications for global health ethics and proposing a path for its improvement. The book consists of three main parts, each focusing on key issues of human rights, integrity and inclusivity, with each chapter enriching the discourse on ethical research practices. The first part provides contextual perspectives on the implementation of research ethics, particularly in the Global South and Asia, by gathering revealing insights from different corners of the globe. This is followed by forward-looking perspectives for international ethical principles, and the final part describes not only the transformation of the Declaration, but also pushes it forward as a dynamic framework for &nbsp;ethical innovation to achieve access to health for all. The 2024 Declaration of Helsinki could be marked by global discussions to be consolidated towards the highest ethical standards based on the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, trends to promote the involvement of patients, participants and public in research projects, and the growing attention to data-driven research. Each chapter demonstrates the pathway to Ethical Innovation for Global Health.The 2024 Declaration of Helsinki: Global Efforts Towards Highest Ethical Standards is essential reading for scientists, practitioners, and policymakers committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in research. Members of research ethics committees, pharmaceutical company employees, medical students, patients and members of the public involved in human research will also find this volume useful.

Urban Studies

Nicht nur anderswo, sondern auch in deutschen Städten gestaltet sich die soziale Lage in privilegierten Vierteln einerseits und Quartieren mit struktureller Benachteiligung andererseits extrem unterschiedlich. Bei der Suche nach Gegenmitteln wird immer deutlicher: Ein Engagement für soziale Gerechtigkeit muss auch Perspektiven der Umwelt- und Energieverteilungsgerechtigkeit beinhalten. Dazu bedarf es einer multiperspektivischen Betrachtung und einer interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit. Die Beiträger*innen verhandeln diese Prämissen und laden über wissenschaftliche Grenzen hinweg dazu ein, aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln neue Zukunftsideen für eine sozial gerechte Stadt zu diskutieren.

“An impressive and valuable contribution to multiple fields of study. Dore analyzes and gets to the core of virtually every major Western philosopher from Aristotle to Arendt. He has created a new, unified theory of social justice. It is rare—even breathtaking—to find a work of such ambition, critical insight and social commitment.” —Peter Wogan, Professor of Anthropology and Global Cultural Studies,&nbsp;Willamette&nbsp;University, USAThis book presents a comprehensive theory of justice with a threefold justification. The first&nbsp;justification is a rigorous empirical methodology based on the stark realities of the human&nbsp;condition. It is adapted from the methodology of cultural materialism, which in turn, is founded&nbsp;on the materialist epistemology of Karl Marx, and has a strong anthropological grounding. The second justification is philosophical. The theory is tested against the thought of Aristotle,&nbsp;Thomas Hobbes, Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant, Georg W. F. Hegel, John Finnis, John&nbsp;Dewey, George Mead, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Jean-François Lyotard, Axel Honneth,&nbsp;Michael Sandel, Michael Walzer, Martha Nussbaum, John Maynard Keynes, Amartya Sen and&nbsp;Marx. The third justification is moral. The theory presents a step-by-step guide to first securing the&nbsp;minimum moral content of an ethics of survival and subsistence, followed by a non-contractarian&nbsp;"thick" theory for full human flourishing.Isaak Dore is Distinguished Professor of Law and Philosophy Emeritus, St. Louis University School of Law, USA. Formerly a human rights lawyer in the United Nations, he has over fifty years of experience teaching and writing in the areas of law, philosophy, anthropology and multiculturalism, with eight books and scores of articles in these fields.

This book presents a comprehensive theory of justice that has a threefold justification. For the first justification, the book presents a rigorously empirical methodology based on the stark realities of the human condition. It has a strong anthropological grounding in that it is adapted from the methodology of cultural materialism which, in turn, is founded on the materialist epistemology of Karl Marx.&nbsp;The second justification is philosophical. The theory of justice derived from the above methodology is further buttressed by and/or tested against the major trends of Western philosophy as represented by the thought of Aristotle, Thomas Hobbes, Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant, Georg W. F. Hegel, John Finnis, John Dewey, George Mead, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Jean-François Lyotard, Axel Honneth, Michael Sandel, Michael Walzer, Martha Nussbaum, John Maynard Keynes, Amartya Sen and Karl Marx.The third justification is moral. The promotion of human flourishing on the basis of fairness and equality are the minimum goals to be achieved; after which a more ambitious and comprehensive theory of overall goodness —based on individual and governmental action —can be implemented.

Attiva la tua FORZA di leadership - Il mentore personale per giovani leader: Come guidare il tuo team con sicurezza, determinazione & competenza verso il successo duraturo - Con workbook ed esercizi pratici

&lt;p&gt;This book offers valuable insights into the reconfiguration of Global Value Chains (GVCs) in manufacturing industries and the diverse managerial responses at the firm level. Focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from developed economies, the authors explore key intersections between firm strategies, competitiveness, and value-chain analysis, presenting new directions for both managerial practice and research.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In response to the rapidly evolving global landscape, the book argues that manufacturing industries must reconfigure into shorter, more regionalized GVCs to improve resilience, balance cost efficiency with sustainability, and better withstand external shocks. The authors analyze three major trends: reshoring (bringing production back home), SMEs' upgrading within GVCs with a focus on social and environmental improvements, and the rise of governance structures rooted in trust and relational capital.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By offering in-depth studies of the featured SMEs, the book provides guidelines for redesigning strategies and public policies that enhance SMEs' performance in the modern global context.&lt;/p&gt;

Palgrave Studies in Moral and Mindful Approaches to Leadership and Business

&lt;p&gt;This book describes green human resource management as practices undertaken by organizations' human resource departments to create supportive environments in which employees can thrive and perform in their most productive capacity. Focusing on the Sri Lankan military, it examines the case of successful green initiatives by theoretically and empirically linking green human resource management, high performance work practices, leadership, and virtues to green orientation and green employee engagement. The authors posit that green initiatives can only be successful if they win the hearts and minds of employees through cognitive engagement, emotional engagement, and behavioral engagement. Aimed at academics in HRM and organizational behavior, this work develops theoretical frameworks to examine green human resource management in developing countries.&lt;/p&gt;

New Approaches to Religion and Power

This volume provides a historical context for the present escalation of hostilities between Palestinians and the State of Israel. It brings together interdisciplinary chapters written by international specialists in the field of interreligious engagement. It presents Jewish and Palestinian perspectives as well as the South African perspective regarding apartheid, international law, antisemitism, and the suppression of the Palestinian voice in Germany and the USA. It further delves into the historic and ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian experience, and discusses the ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel and supported by the Western powers, particularly the U.S. The volume ultimately offers theological and hermeneutic alternatives to prevailing understandings of the Bible as supporting modern Jewish hegemony in historic Palestine. It's an important read for scholars working in the intersection of religion, politics and power.Ulrich Duchrow

 The book 
 Interreligious Solidarity for Justice in Palestine-Israel
 (Or: This book) is a seminal work to learn about the interconnected efforts of activists, intellectuals and ecumenical/interfaith leaders in exposing the ongoing violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people. The unveiling of the complicity of the global church and Western powers in support of a settler colonial project is at the core of this book. The Jewish and Christian voices featured in this work show a thriving international solidarity movement for justice in Palestine and Israel. A must-read for all those who have at heart a prophetic engagement for justice in the Middle East.
