Taylor & Francis Ltd Consumer Behaviour and Analytics
Book SynopsisThe second edition of Consumer Behaviour and Analytics provides a consumer behaviour textbook for the new marketing reality. In a world of Big Data, machine learning and artificial intelligence, this key text reviews the issues, research and concepts essential for navigating this new terrain. It demonstrates how we can use data-driven insight and merge this with insight from extant research to inform knowledge-driven decision-making.Adopting a practical and managerial lens, while also exploring the rich lineage of academic consumer research, this textbook approaches its subject from a refreshing and original standpoint. It contains numerous accessible examples, scenarios and exhibits, and condenses the disparate array of relevant work into a workable, coherent, synthesized and readable whole. Providing an effective tour of the concepts and ideas most relevant in the age of analytics-driven marketing (from data visualization to semiotics), the book concludes with an adaTrade Review'Consumer marketing is increasingly analytics driven, with data driven insight the core underpinning of many businesses. Consumer Behaviour and Analytics is a concise, inventive, original and accessible text that develops new approaches, concepts and structure to fit the new reality of analytics driven marketing. Linking new possibilities and approaches with existing academic consumer research, and grounded in examples and exhibits, this book is a ground-breaking and informative volume.'– Leigh Sparks, Professor of Retail Studies and Deputy Principal, University of Stirling, Scotland'The effects of Big Data, machine learning and AI on the terrain of marketing and consumer research have been seismic. Smith’s book provides a timely and concise review of this new landscape by demystifying analytics-driven concepts and methods whilst cross-referencing with more traditional fields of consumer knowledge. The book inventively integrates old and new concepts into a framework that will appeal to marketing practitioners and students alike. An absolutely essential read for anyone interested in a well-balanced understanding of contemporary consumer behaviour and analytics.' - Professor Andreas Chatzidakis, Royal Holloway, University of London, UKTable of ContentsList of figuresList of tablesPrefaceAcknowledgementsChapter 1 An introduction to consumer analyticsChapter 2 Purchase insight and the anatomy of transactionsChapter 3 Web and social activityChapter 4 Extant research, decision-making and exogenous cognitionChapter 5 Elemental features of consumer choice: needs, economics, deliberation and impulse.Chapter 6 Perceptual and communicative features of consumer choiceChapter 7 Individual and social features of consumptionChapter 8 Knowledge-driven marketing and the Modular Adaptive Dynamic SchematicIndex

John Wiley & Sons Just Fodder The Ethics of Feeding Animals
Book SynopsisJust Fodder addresses ethical and political questions arising from thinking about animals as eaters rather than as foodstuffs. Josh Milburn offers a novel theory of animal rights that insists that figuring out the full range of our obligations to animals requires asking questions about the nature and circumstances of our relationships with them.Trade Review“[Just Fodder] brings a significant and imperative contribution for animal advocates (and/or activists), social scientists, philosophers and other academic sectors parties to think about and understand the animal-human relationship from a broader point-of-view. For animal lovers, animal activists or animal advocates who have (or don't have) relationships with animals, it is worth reading this book and thinking more profoundly about the ethical questions raised by the author.” The Vegan Society“Just Fodder paves the way for a new road of enquiry into a topic that is not itself new at all: we have been directly or indirectly impacting on animals’ diets for millennia. That philosophers—to say nothing of political theorists—have largely failed to seriously address the ethics of feeding animals is likely a reflection of how they have, until relatively recently, failed to take animal ethics in general seriously.* Just Fodder*—beyond being itself a lucid and thoughtful account of an important topic—is therefore a heartening indication of the current state of animal ethics, and an exciting sign of the inquiries still to come.” *Journal of Moral Philosophy *“The book is a very valuable contribution to a debate that we must eventually have in our societies.” Daily Philosophy“That philosophers—to say nothing of political theorists—have largely failed to seriously address the ethics of feeding animals is likely a reflection of how they have, until relatively recently, failed to take animal ethics in general seriously. Just Fodder—beyond being itself a lucid and thoughtful account of an important topic—is therefore a heartening indication of the current state of animal ethics, and an exciting sign of the inquiries still to come.” *Contemporary Political Theory *

MO - University of Illinois Press Labors Cold War
Book Synopsis Examining the impact of American Cold War politics on disparate local arenas,Labor''s Cold Warreveals that anticommunist challenges reshaped local political cultures and set the stage for new rounds of political debate. The contributors demonstrate that the anticommunist movement was more diverse, more pervasive, and more sharply and creatively contested than historians have realized. Yet workers and their allies defended ongoing progressive politics at the local level. Examples include fights for fair employment and public housing; the expansion of New Deal-style regional development; the abolition of racial and ethnic discrimination policies; and workplace policies from the right to organize to a voice in wage and price controls. Local political stories from New Mexico, California, occupied Japan, Milwaukee, Detroit, St. Louis, and Schenectedy provide important alternative perspectives on the transformative power of anticommunism in the postwar period and contribTrade Review "Labor's Cold War provides a valuable and timely historical reinterpretation that goes to the roots of the Cold War as it affected the American labour movement and its allies."--Labour/Le Travail "The emphasis on the interconnections between local and national themes makes this book a genuinely unique and compelling addition to labor literature. As such, it removes issues related to labor and the left from the internecine workplace and union struggles and moves them to the more interesting arena of local social and economic policies."--Stephen Meyer, author of Stalin over Wisconsin: The Making and Unmaking of Militant Unionism, 1900-1950Table of ContentsContributors include Kenneth Burt, Robert W.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Modern Asset Allocation for Wealth Management
Book SynopsisAn authoritative resource for the wealth management industry that bridges the gap between modern perspectives on asset allocation and practical implementation An advanced yet practical dive into the world of asset allocation, Modern Asset Allocation for Wealth Management provides the knowledge financial advisors and their robo-advisor counterparts need to reclaim ownership of the asset allocation component of their fiduciary responsibility. Wealth management practitioners are commonly taught the traditional mean-variance approach in CFA and similar curricula, a method with increasingly limited applicability given the evolution of investment products and our understanding of real-world client preferences. Additionally, financial advisors and researchers typically receive little to no training on how to implement a robust asset allocation framework, a conceptually simple yet practically very challenging task.

Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of Holocaust survivor and prominent banker Marcel Goldman, born in Krakow in 1926. Goldman started his studies in economics in Krakow and completed them in Israel, where he became a respected banker. In telling his story, this book analyzes Israel’s social and economic development, its causes and circumstances. Following Goldman as our main character, we take a close look at the birth of the private banking sector and the building of modern economy in Israel. The book also describes the life of Polish Jews in Israel in general, the way in which they settled there, and built the prosperity of the state. The story of Marcel Goldman is an example of how Israel’s success is the sum of its citizens’ successes.Table of ContentsPreface by Aleksander B. SkotnickiIntroduction1.

Auckland University Press Globalisation and the Wealth of Nations:
Book SynopsisThis book is a clear, imaginative and wide-ranging picture of the globalising world, written for a general educated readership. It is not an argument for or against globalisation but a careful and thorough analysis of the issues involved, drawing on scholarly study and debate but avoiding technical issues and demanding detail. Organised in two parts, it explores the economic theory behind globalisation, then the political and social consequences and concludes with the various options for nations in a globalised world. Distinctive in setting globalisation in a historical context also inteprets it from the point of view of a small, rich economy. In each section individual chapter focus on a particular historical experience, typically in a single country; for example, a chapter on cities and industry economies of scale focuses on New York; one on technology transfer focuses on Japan; one on nationalism focuses on Germany.

Springer International Publishing AG Gunnar Myrdal
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive exploration of Gunnar Myrdal's life, as well as his significant scientific, political and international contributions. Recognized as one of the foremost Stockholm economists, Myrdal, alongside Keynes, played a pivotal role in revolutionizing economic theory during the 1930s. Together with his wife, Alva Myrdal, he was instrumental in shaping the Swedish welfare state. Gunnar Myrdal was far ahead of his time in demonstrating that both a strong state and a vibrant civil society are essential for developing an inclusive welfare state. Myrdal's influence extended well beyond Sweden. His groundbreaking analysis of racial oppression in the United States, particularly in his seminal work An American Dilemma, is widely regarded as a landmark in the struggle for equal rights. During the Cold War, he played a key role in the United Nations' efforts to rebuild Europe and sought to bridge the divide between East and West. His penetrating examination of the causes of underdevelopment in Asian Dramamade a significant contribution to the understanding of prejudice and colonial oppression. This book traces Gunnar Myrdal's journey from his childhood to the Nobel Memorial Prize, detailing his intense collaboration with Alva and her eventual professional independence. It compellingly illustrates how he, with clear-eyed pragmatism and a steadfast commitment to his values, addressed both Swedish and global social challenges. Remarkably, many of the issues Myrdal grappled with remain deeply relevant today, including the cracks in Sweden's welfare society, racism in the United States, the rise of authoritarian regimes, and the re-emergence of a new Cold War. This book will particularly resonate with social scientists and general readers interested in the role of institutions in development, the motivations behind the inclusive welfare state, and the crucial importance of letting value premises guide research, policy solutions and actions on social issues, including identity, race, and power.

He is also a LinkedIn Learning Instructor and accredited in a range of psychometric tools.Trade Review"Perry is one of those rare individuals whose deep knowledge of transformational HR sits within a rich and compassionate understanding of human possibility. In the face of an increasingly complex world, this book provides a precious roadmap for those business leaders seeking to build resilience and drive change." * Nathalie Nahai, Author Business Unusual, Host of The Hive Podcast *"Ensuring that the workplace was somewhere where people could bring their best selves, achieve great work and have a rewarding experience has been a mission of mine for quite some time but I was not getting the traction I needed. Enter Perry and Transformational HR. Using Perry's words as encouragement, inspiration and, on occasions, instruction, has allowed me to put all those thoughts and plans in place in a way which really gains traction, and quickly. Modern people professionals need to move at pace and this helps provide the acceleration." * Gail Hatfield, People and Resources Director, Energy Systems Catapult *"Should come with a highlighter! The most annotated, and post it note covered HR book I have ever read (and actually enjoyed!) At a time in my career when I'd lost faith in the profession, Perry's book reignited my passion for HR and all that could be achieved through true collaboration and innovation. Transformational HR is accessible to everyone whether you have years of experience or are just starting out in your career. An absolute must-read." * Lucy Dodd, Head of People UK - FDM Group *"There are many books on HR and until now there was only one by Perry Timms. So much of the world of work has changed since the first edition was published in 2018 so it is very fitting that the revised edition reflects the critical role that HR as a profession has embraced and stepped into. This updated second edition is an essential read for todays' progressive HR practitioner to truly be heard and to add value in the organizations they are there to serve and support, but also challenge to do better in an ever-evolving landscape post 2020." * Shakil Butt, Founder HR Hero for Hire and former HR & OD Director, Islamic Relief *"Perry remains the formative thinker of our time on the human-centred organization of our working lives. He weaves his passion for a better world of work for everyone through the creation of actionable approaches supported by exceptionally researched evidence. His visionary ideas have emerged through several years of tumult in our world to reveal themselves to be as relevant as ever." * Neil Usher, Author, The Elemental Workplace and Elemental Change, Chief Workplace & Change Strategist @ GoSpace AI *"HR Transformation is no easy task, but you'll find no better guide than Perry Timms. He's long been pushing the boundaries of what HR can, and must, do to elevate our field, our companies, and each other. The second edition of Transformational HR takes his vision for HR at our best and recalibrates it for the current times we face beyond the events of 2020. A book blending practical application and visionary thinking, Perry yet again shows why he's the transformational guide our industry needs today - and tomorrow. A must-read for HR practitioners with an eye on the future." * Lars Schmidt, Author, Redefining HR and Founder of the Amplify and the Redefining HR Accelerator *"In this timely update of a classic text, Perry Timms highlights the need for HR professionals to become, and think of themselves as, engineers of people-led organizations. In this respect, this book should be considered the default manual. Filled with practical and accessible ideas, case studies and research, Transformational HR enables any and every HR professional to build, fine-tune and maintain a first-class, business focused, HR service" * Rob Baker, Founder and Chief Positive Deviant of Tailored Thinking and author of Personalization at Work. *"Perry hits the nail on the head as he argues for greater coherence of HR thinking and activity to the business model and strategy. Many of Perry's methods for a transformed HR are less fixed, and more dynamic to the value-adding services customers need from HR. What makes Perry's work disruptive is humility; he urges people professionals to look and act outside-in; sensing demand, being proactive, and developing the mindset and ability to continuously adapt in both what and how the function delivers value." * Chris Furnell, Business Design Expert, PA Consulting *"Flourishing. Energized. Future focused. Transformative. Perry Timms takes transformational HR into a new galaxy with his thought leadership and adaptive thinking for the new age of HR. This book truly reflects the work he does on the ground with his clients and is grounded in real-life experiences that brings this powerful topic to life. I am proud to be an HR professional in his shadow." * Megan Phelps, FCIPD, Director of OD, Clear Channel *"I have long thought of Perry as an activist for purposeful, insightful and heartfelt business, so to see a second edition include up to the minute, laser focused and relevant thinking on how we make business better through the power of humans is no surprise.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Machine Learning in Finance: From Theory to
Book SynopsisThis book introduces machine learning methods in finance. It presents a unified treatment of machine learning and various statistical and computational disciplines in quantitative finance, such as financial econometrics and discrete time stochastic control, with an emphasis on how theory and hypothesis tests inform the choice of algorithm for financial data modeling and decision making. With the trend towards increasing computational resources and larger datasets, machine learning has grown into an important skillset for the finance industry. This book is written for advanced graduate students and academics in financial econometrics, mathematical finance and applied statistics, in addition to quants and data scientists in the field of quantitative finance. Machine Learning in Finance: From Theory to Practice is divided into three parts, each part covering theory and applications. The first presents supervised learning for cross-sectional data from both a Bayesian and frequentist perspective. The more advanced material places a firm emphasis on neural networks, including deep learning, as well as Gaussian processes, with examples in investment management and derivative modeling. The second part presents supervised learning for time series data, arguably the most common data type used in finance with examples in trading, stochastic volatility and fixed income modeling. Finally, the third part presents reinforcement learning and its applications in trading, investment and wealth management. Python code examples are provided to support the readers' understanding of the methodologies and applications. The book also includes more than 80 mathematical and programming exercises, with worked solutions available to instructors. As a bridge to research in this emergent field, the final chapter presents the frontiers of machine learning in finance from a researcher's perspective, highlighting how many well-known concepts in statistical physics are likely to emerge as important methodologies for machine learning in finance.Trade Review“This book is, however, a well-structured and self-contained graduate textbook on ML applications in finance. Exercises and some applications are included at the end of each chapter and the Python code used in this book makes use of the Python Tensor Flow library. This book could also serve as a useful reference book for researchers and practitioners in quantitative finance.” (Gilles Teyssière, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2023)“Each part is introduced with background information, examples of relevant practical applications, and references to the most recent scientific literature. … The book covers all essential areas of machine learning with relevance to quantitative finance. … An additional strong advantage of this book is the clear and consistent structure of its chapters. … Overall, the book covers multiple machine learning approaches with advanced technical exposition and is therefore especially suitable as an academic reference point, especially on Reinforcement Learning.” (Antoniya Shivarova, Financial Markets and Portfolio Management, Issue 35, 2021)“This volume aims to present a broad yet technical treatment of (ML) algorithms used by financial practitioners and scholars alike. … the book fills a large void. … This encourages reproducibility as well as learning by doing, which is highly appreciated.” (Guillaume Coqueret, Quantitative Finance, October 15, 2020)Table of ContentsChapter 1.

She has run the Virtual Working Summit since 2010 with thousands of participants from around the world. She is the author of Business Analysis and Leadership also published by Kogan Page.Trade Review"Since the pandemic began, the virtual world has become our oyster. Love it or hate it, we now teach, learn, lecture, attend committees, manage staff, harmonize, hold teambuilding events and get to know and trust one another online. This book is packed with evidence-based tips and useful anecdotes from someone who has operated in this virtual space for more than 20 years. A timely book at a unique time in history." * Trish Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford *"This book is a boon for anybody working with other people in the post pandemic world. Penny's updated guidance on how to both anticipate and manage the challenges of hybrid working will benefit teams of any size. Especially useful are the hacks for supporting a hybrid team as a leader, these really help you set the culture and connect your team together." * Dr Liz Calder, President, IIBA UK (International Institute for Business Analysis) *"With the prevalence of digital workplaces and the popularity of remote and hybrid work models, the subject of virtual leadership could not be more timely. Drawing on her project management roles across different organisations and sectors and her vast knowledge of the subject, Penny presents an exceptional and practical guide that will be of use to those business leaders and project managers who increasingly need to manage dispersed employees." * Niki Panteli, Professor of Digital Business, Royal Holloway University of London *"'With a new chapter on the formidable challenges that hybrid working presents, Virtual Leadership is more relevant than ever. Like it or not, more and more organizations are moving to a hybrid work model, yet few leaders know how to create a truly level playing field among when some team members work in person and others remotely. This book provides dozens of practical tips for mastering the hybrid workplace and avoiding "proximity bias" by creating shared team norms and policies that all regard as fair. This newest version of Virtual Leadership comes at a perfect time for those who struggle to create an equitable workplace, no matter where, or when, people work.'" * Nancy Settle-Murphy, author of Leading Effective Virtual Teams, USA *"During the Covid-19 pandemic, virtual and now hybrid working have become essential. We can choose whether we see and experience them as constraints, or routes to new possibilities. Penny has lots of advice on how, with intentional design and thoughtful use of appropriate technology and tools, we can lead virtual and hybrid teams and teamwork to be engaging, inclusive and high-performing -- while maintaining the inherent advantages such as flexible location and lower cost. She explores the all-important mindset and behaviour to do this well, and gives practical suggestions and illustrations." * Dr Sarah Wilson, Vice President Global Leadership Development, Unilever *"As a GP working as the Clinical Director of a Primary Care Network requiring GPs at different practices to work together at scale, the suggestions and practical advice on convening virtual meetings has been invaluable. We have even managed cross practice collaborative workshops using suggested resources. General Practice teams are changing for example, the introduction of virtual Multi-Disciplinary Teams to facilitate patient care. I have used the book to support colleagues' development, facilitate tutorials with GP registrars and support hybrid patient virtual consultations, This is truly a book for our time." * Dr Susan Denton, GP and Clinical Director, North Guildford PCN *"In my role within a global organization, I see daily the need for better leadership for remote teams working towards a common goal. Dr Penny Pullan offers us all the help that we need in this with insight, practical guidance and a dash of inspiration, which is always welcome. Covering all the aspects of time, language, culture, and generations which make this a complicated leadership task, the book shows us all a clear path to success in this virtual world we all work in today." * Peter Taylor, Head of Global PMO at Ceridian and author of ‘The Lazy Project Manager’ *"This book will guide you to becoming an effective and graceful leader of virtual teams. Penny Pullan hits all the key points around establishing, nurturing and working with diverse groups, wherever their individual members may be located. Virtual Leadership reveals the importance of a leader mindset, deals with technology and virtual meetings, lays out a path for managing virtual work in between meetings, and addresses the complications and pitfalls that every virtual worker faces. Throughout it all, the author shines a light on the often-overlooked truth about virtual work: that its most important aspect has nothing to do with technology, and everything to do with being human. Stop suffering through virtual work. Instead, transform it through applying the skills and practices in this essential handbook." * Rachel Smith, Consultant, Facilitator and Program Manager, USA *"Penny's latest book is your own personal leadership coach. Pragmatic and practical, this book will help you avoid horrible virtual meetings and quickly boost productivity wherever your team are based. Targeted sections let you dive into solutions for issues you are facing with your teams today. Highly recommended for team leaders, managers and those working virtually whether in a formal leadership position or not." * Elizabeth Harrin, author of Engaging Stakeholders on Projects, UK *"I am so pleased that Penny has written this book and can share her skill and inspiration for really successful virtual working with even more people. When I met Penny, I was working with three global companies and was spending half of my days (and lots of early mornings and late nights) on calls with colleagues. Penny taught me so much about how to make these into really successful meetings and reading this book reminded me of all that and more. Penny is also the master of communicating in a clear and simple way, even though the subject matter is complex. I recommend this book to everyone who needs to do business in a "same time, different place" context - I am confident that practising what Penny recommends will transform the quality of your work." * Dr Ruth Murray-Webster, Director, Potentiality UK and Visiting Fellow, Oxford Saïd Business School *"Penny has done a magnificent job of covering every single element which you need to master. I've been managing virtual teams for over 20 years and thought I knew it all. I didn't. And you won't either until you have read this book." * Pete Bennett, Founder, Buzz Conferencing, UK *"Dr Pullan drills down on the world of virtual work teams to build a baseline for managers in the 21st century. Virtual teams are flexible in place and time, pull from the brightest talent and offer a 24/7 cycle, and yet have challenges that require knowledge for effective leadership. Pullan puts the benefits of virtual working in a context that managers can trust. Virtual Leadership should be required reading for every leader, project manager and executive, virtual or traditional. Get this book in the hands of your leadership team." * Tom Wise, Assistant Professor of Project Management, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, and author of Trust in Virtual Teams, USA *"As someone who has spent over twenty years living the virtual life, I loved this book! Penny's book has creatively captured the foibles and tricks and tips for success with virtual leadership." * Professor Eddie Obeng, speaker, innovator and author, Learning Director of Pentacle the Virtual Business School and Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Henley Business School *"This book is a comprehensive handbook for anyone who spends time in the virtual world of work. A lot more than just insights into the technologies, it is a detailed, practical guide to all aspects of team building, managing meetings, engaging across cultures and styles, and so much more. It is indispensable and required reading for leaders in the modern workplace." * Graeme Codrington, CEO of TomorrowToday, Futurist and expert on the future of work *"When I first began to think about virtual working, I didn't predict all the different factors that need to be taken into consideration and learned a lot by trial and error. I would have saved a lot of time and energy by reading this book! Even now, with several years' experience in virtual working, I found this book chock-full of useful tips and ideas that will help me to be far more effective going forward. I hope that this book will become a classic. It certainly deserves its space on my bookshelf as both a primer that I can lend to newbies and a very useful resource for me to use as I think through and address increasing the complexity of virtual working in multiple time zones in the world of work." * Emma Langman, Head of Talent working in International retail, Kuwait *"At a time of increasing globalization, virtual working is a very real challenge to organizations and to my own world of project, programme, portfolio and change management. Both the 24/7 global economy and mobile working without a permanent office means we have to find different but effective ways of working. We also need to find successful ways to collaborate and to build strong relationships, confidence and trust with clients and teams when we cannot meet face-to-face. Virtual Leadership helps to address and resolve these issues. Penny has a wonderfully engaging and straightforward way of writing, and her book looks across a range of sectors and situations for virtual working and virtual leadership. I certainly recommend Virtual Leadership to individuals and organizations grappling with the complexity of virtual working." * Sarah Coleman, Project, Programme and Change Consultant and Educator; author of Project Leadership *"What I love about this book is the richness of practical insights. These come from Penny's impeccable academic background, her vast corporate experience and her ability to simply connect challenges to solutions. If you are leading virtually, your colleagues will be glad you've read this book. They should too." * Jacqui Harper MBE, Author of 'Executive Presentations' and former BBC Anchor *Table of Contents Chapter - 01: The ups and downs of virtual working; Chapter - 02: Virtual leadership: mindset and approach; Chapter - 03: Working virtually with others; Chapter - 04: Technology for virtual work; Chapter - 05: Leading virtual meetings; Chapter - 06: Virtual working in between meetings; Chapter - 07: Virtual working complications: time-zones, languages and generations; Chapter - 08: Hybrid Chapter - 09: Potential pitfalls and how to overcome them; Chapter - 10: Inspiration for your virtual leadership

Academic Studies Press The Kahans from Baku: A Family Saga
Book SynopsisThe Kahans from Baku is the saga of a Russian Jewish family. Their story provides an insight into the history of Jews in the Imperial Russian economy, especially in the oil industry. The entrepreneur and family patriarch, Chaim Kahan, was a pious and enlightened man and a Zionist. His children followed in his footsteps in business as well as in politics, philanthropy, and love of books. The book takes us through their forced migration in times of war, revolution, and the twentieth century’s totalitarian regimes, telling the story of fortune and misfortune of one cohesive family over four generations through Russia, Germany, Denmark, and France, and finally on to Palestine and the United States of America.Trade Review“Verena Dohrn’s book presents a complex transnational story of Jewish oil merchants in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, contributing to the growing scope of research on Jewish family businesses in East and Central Europe. … This book will be an interesting read for a broad audience, providing an intimate insight into the private life of oil magnates in turbulent historical times. It may also introduce a new perspective on Jewish business elites to academic readers. The Kahan story transcends the stereotypical divisions between East and West, showing the example of the well-managed business family corporation, which managed to integrate into a few imperial and national contexts of different countries and adapt to the new situations while preserving their complex cultural integrity.”— Vladyslava Moskalets, Business History“Jewish entrepreneurs played a major role in economic development in late Imperial Russia, and the oil barons of the Kahan family were among the most important. And the least studied—until 2018, when Verena Dohrn published her pioneering monograph in German, now being made available in English translation. The research is massive: the book uses family archives (with thousands of documents) as well as state repositories in fourteen countries, complemented by oral history and the contemporary press. All this allows Dohrn to provide a detailed narrative that explains how the family was able to thrive before the 1917 revolution and then to survive after its emigration to the West. Not only specialists but general readers will discover a rich narrative of this family’s everyday life and successful business activities.”—Gregory L. Freeze, Raymond Ginger Professor of History, Brandeis University“This fascinating family history takes the reader across countries and continents during the turbulent period of European wars and revolutions, from a small Belarusian shtetl to Baku, Moscow, Petrograd, Berlin, and then on to Tel Aviv and New York. The Kahans were successful entrepreneurs, generous philanthropists and cultural activists who left their mark on modern Jewish life and culture. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written by Verena Dohrn, a prominent German historian of Russian Jewry, this study is not only an important contribution to Jewish history and transnational diaspora studies, but also a captivating reading in its own right."—Mikhail Krutikov, University of MichiganTable of ContentsTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsPreface — Jonah Gavrieli In Memoriam Eli Rosenberg — Noa RosenbergTranslator’s Foreword — Uri Themal 1.

Academic Studies Press Leonid Hurwicz: Intelligent Designer: How War and
Book Synopsis“A fascinating, exciting story.” — Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful MindWhile still in his early 20s, and under Hitler's shadow, Leonid “Leo” Hurwicz (1917-2008) left his home in Warsaw, Poland, seeking safety and a degree at the London School of Economics. The following years, while challenging and potentially life-threatening, contained the seeds of a lifelong intellectual adventure. Leo's story is personal (born a refugee, precarious war years for himself and his Polish-Jewish family, a new life in America), global (revolutions, wars, depressions), ideological (socialism, capitalism, economic planning, free markets) and professional (a sixty-year career as a professor of economics leading ultimately to a Nobel Prize). This book tells his story.Trade Review“A fascinating, exciting story.” — Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind“Before he became an economist, Leo Hurwicz led a dramatic life worthy of a Hollywood movie. Michael Hurwicz tells this story with verve, and also succeeds in explaining to a lay readership the deep contributions his father made to economic science. Terrific reading.”— Eric Maskin, Nobel laureate in Economics, Harvard University“Kudos to Michael Hurwicz, who has written a paean to his late father, Leo Hurwicz, an extraordinary economist, teacher, polymath, and polyglot, whose genial personality and sense of humor endeared him to many in the profession. Especially for those of us who primarily knew Leo in an academic context, this book provides the background story of his life and times. It is meticulously researched and well-written.”— Samiran Banerjee, Teaching Professor of Economics at Emory University and editor of The Collected Papers of Leonid Hurwicz: Volume 1“Michael Hurwicz gives us a unique attempt to clarify, for all those who knew Leo Hurwicz, the complex history of his family. Many of us who knew Leo had only a fragmentary understanding of this story. Michael tells it with loving care. He then proceeds to interweave ideas from Leo's work and to show, with tenderness, aspects of Leo as a father. A remarkable achievement.”— Thomas Marschak, University of California, Berkeley, CA“Hurwicz tells the story of a remarkable man. A man, who received a Nobel Prize in Economics at age 90, who was married to the same woman, Evelyn, from age 27 until his death, who was the father of four children, who was an excellent pianist with a repertoire that reached from Beethoven to folk songs, an inspired — and inspiring — teller of bed-time stories, a life-long learner and knower of, almost, everything, an active citizen, and, yes, did I mention the Nobel Prize in Economics at age 90?And Leo Hurwicz achieved all of this in spite of — or should we say, because of — the times of existential peril through which he and his extended family lived. … It is a context of revolutions, wars, antisemitism, persecution, and genocide. But it is also a context of resistance, persistence, ingenuity, courage, and creativity, of humanity in the face of barbarism.”— Jens Kruse, The OrcasonianTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsPrologue 1939, sierpień/août/August Born a Refugee Now or Never Home Safe?

Academic Studies Press The Coming of New Industrial Society: Reloaded
Book SynopsisThe book explores the effect of modern technological shifts on human society, showing that technologies are undergoing accelerating qualitative changes that open up new opportunities for personal development and satisfaction of wants and, simultaneously, engender risks associated with growing opportunities of human interference with nature and technogenic stress on the environment. Based on the study of cutting-edge technologies and resulting socioeconomic shifts, Bodrunov’s analysis outlines the shape of the civilizational crisis we face. It can only be overcome by founding a new industrial society of the second generation (if we consider the new industrial state described by J. K. Galbraith as the first generation) reliant on knowledge intensive material production and the gradual removal of humans from immediate material production.Trade Review“Sergey Bodrunov’s lively book addresses one of the most controversial consequences of liberal globalization—the deindustrialisation of the advanced capitalist states. Following the line of thinking of writers such as Clark Kerr and J.K. Galbraith, Bodrunov insists on the revival of industrialization and in doing so he makes advances on earlier theorizing. He insists that the development of civilization calls for a higher level of material production predicated on human knowledge and he anticipates much of current theorizing about the effects of artificial intelligence. In a provocative discussion, predicated on the experience of post-socialist Russia, he calls for positive economic policies to enhance the capabilities of modern economies to advance to higher levels of industrial development. The book will appeal to readers seeking solutions to modern economic problems through state coordination.”— David Lane, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Cambridge, UK“As Marx, Veblen and John Kenneth Galbraith understood, human society co-evolves with its material and technological conditions, which fact has grave implications for those seduced by financialization or the post-industrial mirage. In The Coming New Industrial State: Reloaded, Sergey Bodrunov gives a fair—and sometimes harsh—portrait of modern Russia's fall into dependence on outside technologies, machines, and components. He advocates a path forward for Russia at the technical frontiers, with a mixed economy rooted in ‘an authentic culture’ without which, he writes, ‘there can be no effective industrial development.’ The war and sanctions may now catapult this analysis to the forefront.”— James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, Member, Free Economic Society and Foreign Member, Russian Academy of Sciences“Sergey Bodrunov’s work is a major contribution to human knowledge, rooted both in his practical experience in Russian industry and government, and in revival of interest in the most profound issues in the philosophy of thought. It deserves the attention of everyone with an interest in innovation. But beyond that, anyone concerned with the rising challenge of new technologies should read it. At the center of The Coming New Industrial State lies the following proposition: until now, technology has driven society. The ‘information economy’ calls for a different relationship; it is society that must drive technology. Innovation, therefore, henceforth constitutes social innovation; a different way of organizing society. Bodronov not only poses the question, but provides much-needed answers.”— Alan Freeman, Geopolitical Economy Research Group, University of ManitobaTable of ContentsIntroductionPart One: Material Production and Industry: Technology, Labor, and ProductChapter 1: Production and Its Product: The Industrial Mode of ProductionChapter 2: The Service Industry, Material Production, and Their Correlation in the Modern EconomyPart Two: The Russian Economic System and (De)industrializationChapter 3: Industrialization of the Economy as a Factor of Social Development; The Phenomenon of Modern DeindustrializationChapter 4: Industrial Development in Russia: Lessons from the PastChapter 5: The Deindustrialization of Russia and the Challenges of ReindustrializationChapter 6: Techno-Economic Paradigms and the Renewal of the Russian Economy: The Political-Economic AspectChapter 7: The Russian Economic System: The Future of High-Tech Industrial ProductionPart Three: The New Industrial State v.2Chapter 8: The New Industrial State of the Twentieth CenturyChapter 9: The New Industrial State v.2: The Parameters of its GenesisPart Four: Reindustrialization, Import Substitution, and Active Industrial PolicyChapter 10: Technological Leadership and National SecurityChapter 11: Innovative Economic Development: Into NIS.2Chapter 12: Industrial Policy as a Tool of Reindustrialization and Import SubstitutionChapter 13: Imperatives, Opportunities, and Challenges of ReindustrializationChapter 14: The Revival of Production, Science, and Education: The Primary Priority of Modern Industrial PolicyChapter 15: NIS.2 as a Social SystemConclusion

Academic Studies Press Noonomy: The Trajectory of Global Transformation
Book SynopsisNoonomy explores the effect of modern technological shifts on human society. The author shows that technologies are about to undergo qualitative changes which will create new opportunities for personal development and the satisfaction of wants and, simultaneously, engender risks associated with growth opportunities of human interference with nature and technogenic stress on the environment. Based on the study of cutting-edge technologies and resulting socioeconomic shifts, Bodrunov makes the conclusion about the upcoming civilizational crisis. The crisis can be overcome through the formation of a new industrial society of the second generation reliant on knowledge-intensive material production and gradual removal of humans from immediate material production processes. These two trends can fully develop only subject to the transition from the current socioeconomic formation to a non-economic one–the noonomy.Table of ContentsForewordTo the Reader: A Door to the FutureThinkers Who Have Contributed to the Study of the Interconnections between Technological and Social Development Step One: Grasping RealityStep Two: Into the World of New TechnologiesStep Three: To the Threshold of Technological RevolutionStep Four: The New Industrial Society’s Second GenerationStep Five: Civilization at a CrossroadsStep Six: Nooindustrial ProductionStep Seven: Culture as an Economic ImperativeStep Eight: From Economy to NoonomyConclusion: The Path Towards Nootranformation

MO - University of Illinois Press Against Labor
Book Synopsis Against Labor highlights the tenacious efforts by employers to organize themselves as a class to contest labor. Ranging across a spectrum of understudied issues, essayists explore employer anti-labor strategies and offer incisive portraits of people and organizations that aggressively opposed unions. Other contributors examine the anti-labor movement against a backdrop of larger forces, such as the intersection of race and ethnicity with anti-labor activity, and anti-unionism in the context of neoliberalism. Timely and revealing, Against Labor deepens our understanding of management history and employer activism and their metamorphic effects on workplace and society. Contributors: Michael Dennis, Elizabeth Esch, Rosemary Feurer, Dolores E. Janiewski, Thomas A. Klug, Chad Pearson, Peter Rachleff, David Roediger, Howard Stanger, and Robert Woodrum.Trade Review"Boldly challenges the scholarship that considers employers as a malleable force that often compromises when social movements forge political environments that are inimical to their interests. Contributes enormously to our understanding of business tactics and strategy."--Immanuel Ness, author of Guest Workers and Resistance to U.S. Corporate Despotism"At a time when public sector unions are under renewed attack and private-sector union membership hovers near levels not seen since the early twentieth century, Against Labor offers a potent, powerful reminder that, as Feurer and Pearson put it, 'People, not faceless markets, shaped this story.'" --The Journal of Southern History"An excellent volume. The standard of scholarship and writing is very high, and the editors have worked hard to produce a cohesive collection of essays that shed much light on a still-understudied phenomenon in US and labor history more broadly."--Australasian Journal of American Studies"These essays make one thing quite clear: the existential threat that US unions currently face has been building for decades"--Social History"Recommended."--Choice"The respective chapters make for interesting reading. They raise fundamental issues concerning the long arc of industrial relations or labour history in America; of the long, unrelenting class-based campaign of employers and the various strategies and methods they have used to keep unions at bay and counter their attempts to improve the wages and working conditions of American workers."--Labour History"The decline of organized labor in recent decades is often attributed to globalization, financialization, and right-wing politics. But the compelling essays in this important volume show that the limits to workers’ collective power stem more basically from the concerted anti-union efforts of their employers dating back to the nineteenth century. Chronicling how capitalists have effectively forged a class-conscious social movement 'against labor,' these critical case studies make a vital contribution to the history of capitalism while illuminating the challenges facing workers today."--Jeffrey Sklansky, author of The Soul's Economy: Market Society and Selfhood in American Thought, 1820–1920
