Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Gender Divisions and Working Time in the New
Book SynopsisContemporary societies are characterised by new and more flexible working patterns, new family structures and widening social divisions. This book explores how these macro-level changes affect the micro organisation of daily life, with reference to working patterns and gender divisions in Northern and Western Europe and the United States. Through detailed comparative analysis and case studies from France, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US, this collection demonstrates how, despite globalisation and the spread of neo-liberalism, states still exercise some autonomy in terms of the implementation of equalities and 'city time' policies. These policies affect people's capacity to organise their daily lives and ameliorate the adverse impact of new working patterns. However, the authors also show that, despite the proliferation of work-life balance policies which potentially encourage a greater reconciliation of caring and paid work, inequalities in the distribution of paid work and caring between men and women remain remarkably resilient. Bringing together academic analysis and policy studies, Gender Divisions and Working Time in the New Economy will appeal to students and scholars of comparative social policy, economic sociology, economic geography and sociology. In particular, those with an interest in issues of employment relationships, gender, welfare states, working time, work-life balance and 'city time' will find the book to be of great value.Trade Review'. . . the book presents leading-edge research on a variety of issues associated with work/life integration and gender equity. It will be of value to academic researchers and students of gender, employment and social trends, and its release in paperback should extend its accessibility.'Table of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Marshall and Schumpeter on Evolution: Economic
Book SynopsisTraditionally it was understood that while Marshall was the synthesizer of neoclassical economics, Schumpeter challenged the dynamic conception of the economy in place of the static structure of economics. While historians of economic thought rarely discuss the work of Alfred Marshall and Joseph Schumpeter jointly, the contributors to this book do exactly this from the perspective of evolutionary thought. This unique and original work contends that, despite the differences between Marshallian and Schumpeterian thinking, they both present formidable challenges to a broad type of social science beyond economics, particularly under the influence of the German historical school. In a departure from the received view on the nature of the works of Marshall and Schumpeter, the contributors explore their themes in terms of an evolutionary vision and method of evolution; social science and evolution; conceptions of evolution; and evolution and capitalism.This timely resource will provide a stimulus not only to Marshall and Schumpeter scholarship within the history of economic thought but also to the recent efforts of economists to explore a research field beyond mainstream equilibrium economics. It will therefore prove a fascinating read for academics, students and researchers of evolutionary and heterodox economics and historians of economic thought.Trade Review'This collection of essays offers a fresh and challenging interpretation which departs from the received views of two giants - among the greatest economists of all times. Distinguished scholars of Marshall and Schumpeter engage in a lively discussion of their work and convincingly argue that, despite their differences, they shared a common drive towards a broader type of social science beyond economics. It is an intriguing account that will not fail to attract and fascinate the majority of readers.' -- Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, Universita di Roma, Italy'Ever since the development of the theory of biological evolution in the middle of the nineteenth century, evolutionary doctrine has posed challenges to economics. These came directly from the work of Darwin and Huxley and indirectly through economic history and the juxtaposition of dynamics with comparative statics - the approach widely adopted by economists by the end of the century. The eminent historians of economics, Yuichi Shionoya and Tamotsu Nishizawa, together with a distinguished team of specialists, have produced an important set of essays that examine the positions on evolution of Marshall and Schumpeter and the economists who surrounded them. This collection is a valuable contribution to the history of economics and is highly relevant to controversies that rage still in the economics discipline today.' -- Craufurd Goodwin, Duke University, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Yuichi Shionoya and Tamotsu Nishizawa PART I: VISION AND METHOD OF EVOLUTION 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Expert Consumer Associations and
Book SynopsisRecent work has focused on the politics of consumption and its manifestation in a number of situations. This volume extends these debates, providing a tighter focus and contributing to a noticeable gap in the field that numerous scholars are beginning to turn towards: that is, organizations of consumers themselves who have chosen to speak for all consumers and similar such bodies of experts which act on behalf of consumers. The volume is fortunate in drawing upon a number of scholars who are about to publish major works on the subject, but who are happy to provide summary versions of their work for the volume. The book pays particular attention to specific moments in consumer mobilization and expertise, capturing the range of types of expert consumers across the twentieth century, from ethical consumer groups at the beginning, to intellectuals, housewives, economists and public officials. It addresses questions on the nature of consumer organizing, which bodies can speak for consumerTrade Review’Drawing substantially on primary research, the book provides a tantalizing insight into multiplicity of forms of consumer representation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries...’ Journal of Design History ’The Expert Consumer is a valuable book that should be of particular interest to American readers who want to learn about developments in Western Europe.’ Business History ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Introduction, Alain Chatriot, Marie-Emmanuelle Chessel and Matthew Hilton.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sustainable Consumption
Book SynopsisSustainable Consumption: Key Issues provides a concise introduction to the field of sustainable consumption, outlining the contribution of the key disciplines in this multi-disciplinary area, and detailing the way in which both the problem and the potential for solutions are understood. Divided into three parts, the book begins by introducing the concept of sustainable consumption, outlining the environmental impacts of current consumption trends, and placing these impacts in social context. The central section looks at six contrasting explanations of sustainable consumption in the public domain, detailing the stories that are told about why people act in the way they do. This section also explores the theory and evidence around each of these stories, linking them to a range of disciplines and approaches in the social sciences. The final section takes a broader look at the solutions proposed by sustainable consumption scholars and practitioners, outlining the Trade Review"Sustainable consumption is a grand challenge of our time, and this long-awaited textbook positively fizzes with clarity and curiosity, guaranteed to spark engagement and inspiration. Middlemiss expertly relates major real-world problems and solutions to our everyday lives, grounding complex debates in an accessible, no-nonsense style. She helps us think critically about the stories we tell ourselves, about how we will live in the future, and the political action we need to take us there. Unashamedly infused with a passion for social justice, this is essential reading for students and scholars of sustainable consumption." -- Gill Seyfang, Reader in Sustainable Consumption, University of East Anglia, UK"This innovative textbook in the growing field of sustainable consumption studies tackles questions of power, social equity and environmental limits, whilst it also considers different representations of consumption in relation to everyday life. Middlemiss grapples with big questions in a highly accessible and inviting manner. I look forward to putting the book to immediate use in my classroom." -- Marlyne Sahakian, founding member of SCORAI Europe, and Assistant Professor in Sociology, University of Geneva, Switzerland"This book marks a milestone in the evolution of research and policy practice on the unsustainability of contemporary consumption in many parts of the world. Students and others will benefit enormously from Middlemiss’ careful work to digest and make meaningful a Himalayan-sized expanse of material on an extremely significant, but thus far largely underappreciated, topic. The volume embodies impressive ambition and will propel to new heights readers who take its insights to heart." - Maurie J. Cohen, Professor of Sustainability Studies, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and co-founder of the Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative, USA"Middlemiss brings together the perspectives of a wide range of disciplines to frame an accessible picture of the academic landscape surrounding sustainable consumption – an evolving field. An excellent resource for anyone wishing to understand the role of consumption in the social, economic and environmental challenges of the modern world." -- Garrette E. Clark, Sustainable Lifestyles Programme Officer, UN Environment, France"This book provides a timely and highly needed textbook for classes on sustainable consumption across disciplines. Middlemiss does a wonderful job of highlighting the relevance of the topic, the enormous challenges involved, and, most importantly, the need to adopt systemic approaches if one seriously aims to solve the problems arising from our high-consumption lifestyles." – Doris Fuchs, Professor for International Relations and Sustainable Development, University of Münster, Germany"Middlemiss has given instructors and students an invaluable resource! Instructors will appreciate the use of concrete examples to make clear the complexity of sustainable consumption. Students will be grateful for the real-life illustrations that connect their own lives to large-scale sociological and cultural drivers of unsustainable resource use patterns." -- Emily Huddart Kennedy, Assistant Professor, Washington State University, USATable of ContentsList of figuresLit of ablesList of boxesForewordAcknowledgements Part 1: Introducing sustainable consumption Introduction Measuring sustainable consumption Sustainable consumption in social context Part 2: Explaining sustainable consumption 'People don’t understand' 'People are selfish' 'It’s all about values' 'The personal is political' 'We don’t have a choice' 'Consumption is meaningful!'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ownership and Appropriation
Book SynopsisIn a world of finite resources, expanding populations and widening structural inequalities, the ownership of things is increasingly contested. Not only are the commons being rapidly enclosed and privatized, but the very idea of what can be owned is expanding, generating conflicts over the ownership of resources, ideas, culture, people, and even parts of people. Understanding processes of ownership and appropriation is not only central to anthropological theorizing but also has major practical applications, for policy, legislative development and conflict resolution.Ownership and Appropriation significantly extends anthropology's long-term concern with property by focusing on everyday notions and acts of owning and appropriating. The chapters document the relationship between ownership, subjectivities and personhood; they demonstrate the critical consequences of materiality and immateriality on what is owned; and they examine the social relations of property. By approaching ownership as social communication and negotiation, the text points to a more dynamic and processual understanding of property, ownership and appropriation.Table of ContentsForewordChris Hann (Max Planck Institute, Germany)IntroductionMark Busse (University of Auckland, New Zealand) and Veronica Strang (University of Auckland, New Zealand)PART ONE - SUBJECTS, PERSONHOOD AND PEOPLEHOODChapter 1.
