Hardback. Zustand: Good. Consumption has been the fuel that has driven the engine of global capitalism. The recent financial crisis has seen the West's leading economists and policy makers urging Asia to make a conscious effort to consume more and thereby help save the global economy. This is a view shaped by conventional wisdom which conveniently refuses to acknowledge both the unpleasant effects of consumption and the limits to growth. Consumptionomics argues that this blinkered view needs to be replaced by a more rational approach to the challenges of the 21st century. If Asians aspire to consumption levels taken for granted in the West the results will be environmentally catastrophic across the globe. Needless to say it will also have significant geopolitical impacts as nations scramble for diminishing resources. Asian governments and leaders find themselves at a crossroads. They may either continue on the current, unsustainable path of Western-style consumption-led capitalism, disregarding the evidence, or they may realize that they hold the unenviable responsibility of leading the world to a more sustainable path. The solutions will entail making sensitive political choices and adopting certain forms of government to effect such a fundamental change of direction. This will all fly in the face of current ideological beliefs rooted in free market capitalism. But if Asia is willing to take on this responsibility it will help to save the planet whilst reshaping capitalism. DJ. 256 pages.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. Large-format hardcover 31 x 24 cm, copiously illustrated, NOT ex-library. Weight over 1.6 kg. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Bright dust jacket with a tiny corner-tear, gently scuffed upper spine, a touch of sunning (good+). -- This photo-essay collection is a counterpoint to the Forbes Rich List, documenting the lives of 100 people from across the globe (from 91 countries) who have found success and meaning outside of extreme wealth. The book presents a diverse visual narrative of resilience and entrepreneurship in the face of economic hardship. Selected from thousands of international submissions, the images document the working class, grassroots entrepreneurs, and marginalised communities who make up the vast majority of the global population. It is a grounded, visual record of how ordinary people navigate the economic realities of the twenty-first century, offering a more accurate reflection of the global population. The Concept: the book serves as a counter-narrative to the obsession with the world's richest 1% by documenting the "other" 99%. Diverse Stories: it features profiles ranging from a low-income family in Hong Kong living in "cage homes" to a self-taught engineer in Africa.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - White privilege damages and distorts societies around the world, not just in the United States. This book exposes its pervasive global reach and creates a new space for discourse on worldwide racial equality.As Chandran Nair shows in this uncompromising new book, a belief in the innate superiority of White people and Western culture, once the driving force behind imperialism, is now woven into the very fabric of globalization. It is so insidious that, as Nair points out, even many non-White people have internalized it, judging themselves by an alien standard. It has no rival in terms of longevity, global reach, harm done, and continuing subversion of other cultures and societies.Nair takes a comprehensive look at the destructive influence of global White privilege. He examines its impact on geopolitics, the reframing of world history, and international business practices. In the soft-power spheres of White privilegeentertainment, the news media, sports, and fashionhe offers example after example of how White cultural products remain the aspirational standard. Even environmentalism has been corrupted, dominated by a White savior mentality whereby technologies and practices built in the West will save the supposedly underdeveloped, poorly governed, and polluted non-Western world.For all these areas, Nair gives specific suggestions for breaking the power of White privilege. It must be dismantlednot just because it is an injustice but also because we will be creating a post-Western world that has less conflict, is more united, and is better able to respond to the existential challenges facing all of us. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The free-market, limited-government development model has been an ecological and social disaster for the developing world. Sustainable and equitable development is possible only with the active involvement of a strong central state that can guide the economy, protect the environment, and prioritize meeting its people's basic needs.In this sure-to-be-controversial book, Chandran Nair shows that the market-dominated model followed by the industrialized West is simply not scalable. The United States alone, with less than 5 percent of the world's population, consumes nearly a quarter of its resources. If countries in Asia, where 60 percent of the world's population lives, try to follow the Western lead, the results will be calamitous. Instead, Nair argues that development must be directed by a state that is willing and able to intervene in the economy. Corporations, which by design demand ever-expanding consumption, need to be directed toward meeting societal needs or otherwise restrained, not unleashed. Development has to be oriented toward the greatest good--clean drinking water for the many has to take precedence over swimming pools for the few. Nair provides three compelling case studies demonstrating the benefits of such strong state governance and the failings of weak state governance.This will mean rethinking the meaning of concepts like 'prosperity,' 'freedom,' and 'rights' and whether democracy is always the best way to ensure responsive government--as Nair writes, 'A democracy that cannot work to improve the life of its citizens is not better than a nondemocracy that can actually improve quality of life.' Many people will find these to be challenging ideas, but what Nair offers is a model suited to the realities of the developing world, not the assumptions of the dominant culture. …
