Ökonomie als Gemengelage kultureller Praktiken
Es geht um eine Ökonomik auf der Höhe der Zeit, die sich um Einsichten bemüht in die kulturellen Prägungen vermeintlich rationalen wirtschaftlichen Handelns, die den unhintergehbaren Bedingungen prinzipiell offener Zukunft, der Pluralität moderner Gesellschaften und der Heterogenität ihrer Akteure Rechnung trägt und gerade deshalb die Möglichkeiten praktizierter Verantwortung zu ihrem Gegenstand macht.

Changing Theory

Level: leicht
Changing Theory
This book is an original, systematic, and radical attempt at decolonizing critical theory. Drawing on linguistic concepts from 16 languages from Asia, Africa, the Arab world, and South America, the essays in the volume explore the entailments of words while discussing their conceptual implications for the humanities and the social sciences everywhere.

The Price of Slavery

The Price of Slavery
The Price of Slavery analyzes Marx's critique of capitalist slavery and its implications for the Caribbean thought of Toussaint Louverture, Henry Christophe, C. L. R. James, Aimé Césaire, Jacques Stephen Alexis, and Suzanne Césaire. Nick Nesbitt assesses the limitations of the literature on capitalism and slavery since Eric Williams in light of Marx's key concept of the social forms of labor, wealth, and value.

Economics Social Institutions
The productive work of widely distributed academic research has contributed substantially, over the postwar period, to important advances in our understanding. It has also offered a clearer recognition of many unresolved problems. Never theless, the progress achieved over the last decades, ex hibited by the systematic application of "theory" to actual issues and observable problems, could not overcome a per vasive sense of dissatisfaction.
