Whiting Susan: Illiberal Law and
Development

Illiberal Law and Development

Property Rights and Conflict Over Land in China

Working Nature offers a history of the energy economy and its representations over the 19th and 20th century. Russ argues that "Energy" is not a thing nor an ability, but a social relation to nature forged in capitalist industrialisation. The concept of energy mediates the appropriation of diverse natural forces - water, steam, coal, electricity – altering the way these forces would naturally behave to perform work in production. From the valuation of coal and crafting of the current to the formalization of the substitution of energy commodities, it asks how engineers, scientists and economists achieved the production and circulation of nature’s work against social and natural resistance. In so doing, they undermined the very purpose of the energy economy - to emancipate humanity from nature. Can there be a human reconciliation with nature’s resistance for our time?

Steam, Power, and the Failure of the Energy Economy

Working Nature

'Highly recommend - practical and full of human wisdom' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Brimming with ideas to transform the future' KATE RAWORTH, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS 'An act of radical hope, radical listening and radical humility . . . I loved it' RORY STEWART Work, for decades, has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis and the challenges of the world's deep injustices. We can create a work revolution. Ambitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Hilary Cottam has crossed the UK and the USA; she's spent time in communities considered by outsiders as 'left behind' and in places at the centre of financial and technological power. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources - historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers - Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work? Our challenges - political, social, economic and environmental - are tangled and growing. But so are the imaginative solutions. In this exciting, inspiring and optimistic book, Hilary shows us how we could work differently and live better. 'So valuable . . . Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying 'good work' might be' MARIANA MAZZUCATO, UCL professor and author of MISSION ECONOMY 'Timely . . . guides the changes needed' CARLOTA PEREZ 'Exposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all. Compelling' MARTHA LANE FOX 'Urgent, compelling and ultimately hopeful . . . Necessary and Inspiring' CAROLINE LUCAS, Green Party MP and author of ANOTHER ENGLAND 'Cottam is the humane revolutionary our turbulent century needs - and this book our roadmap to a better future' JONATHAN FREEDLAND, author of THE ESCAPE ARTIST

'The humane revolutionary our turbulent century needs’ Jonathan Freedland

The Work We Need

"A sweeping examination of how the religious landscape has changed in post-Mao China. In Religious Change in Post-Mao China, sociologist Yanfei Sun examines the transformation of major religions and the broader religious ecology in China in the wake of the death of Mao Zedong. Drawing on two decades of research that integrates ethnographic, historical, and comparative methods, this book explores the remarkable rise of Protestantism, the challenges faced by Catholicism, the revival of Chinese popular religion, the complex dynamics of Chinese Buddhism, and the unrealized potential of new religious movements. Why do some religions thrive and others struggle in post-Mao China? Sun describes both the internal institutional factors that allow some religions to flourish and the wider sociopolitical context that supports or discourages religious expansion. She thereby introduces an ambitious theoretical framework-one whose applicability extends beyond China, offering a template for analyzing religious dynamics in other parts of the world. A must-read for scholars of religious studies, sociology, and China studies, Religious Change in Post-Mao China not only provides critical insights into China's evolving religious landscape but also offers a powerful lens for examining the forces behind religious change, both past and present"--

Religious Change in Post-Mao China

An excellent work that presents the research history of Mao Zedong! It is the first book to delve into the history of translating, publishing, and disseminating Mao Zedong's works in over 20 languages. Notably, the translation projects were not only led by the Chinese government but also undertaken by universities and think tanks in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and other Western countries against the backdrop of the Cold War. These projects stemmed from Mao's ideology, personal charisma, and the Western bloc's need to study China. Through an objective evaluation of extensive Chinese archives, the author showcases and discussed the influence of Mao Zedong's thoughts on the world.
