Great transformations (56 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The rise of populism in the West and the rise of China in the East have stirred a rethinking of how democratic systems work?and how they fail. The impact of globalism and digital capitalism is forcing worldwide attention to the starker divide between the ?haves? and the ?have-nots,? challenging how we think about the social contract.   With fierce clarity and conviction, Renovating Democracy tears down our basic structures and challenges us to conceive of an alternative framework for governance. To truly renovate our global systems, the authors argue for empowering participation without populism by integrating social networks and direct democracy into the system with new mediating institutions that complement representative government. They outline steps to reconfigure the social contract to protect workers instead of jobs, shifting from a ?redistribution? after wealth to ?pre-distribution? with the aim to enhance the skills and assets of those less well-off. Lastly, they argue for harnessing globalization through ?positive nationalism? at home while advocating for global cooperation?specifically with a partnership with China?to create a viable rules-based world order.    Thought provoking and persuasive, Renovating Democracy serves as a point of departure that deepens and expands the discourse for positive change in governance.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Summary:"Humanity has precipitated a planetary crisis of resource consumption--a crisis of stuff. Indeed, so accustomed are we to living with stuff, it has become difficult to imagine ways out of the environmental crisis that do not come down to substituting a new package of material artifacts (perhaps with a smaller carbon footprint) for those we have today. In The Human Scaffold, anthropologist and philosopher Josh Berson offers a new theory of adaptation to environmental change. Drawing on niche construction, evolutionary game theory, and the enactive view of cognition, Berson considers cases in the archaeology of adaptation in which technology in the conventional, that is, material, sense was virtually absent. Far from being isolated events, these cases exemplify a pervasive feature of human cultural evolution with implications for our own time. In a time when more and more of us are reconsidering our relationship to stuff, we need to ask what the environmental crisis demands of us not as consumers but as biological beings. The Human Scaffold offers a starting point"-- Provided by publisher.…
