Written in a clear and methodical literary style, Nicholls employs thorough research and empirical data to illustrate the interconnectedness of legislation, poverty, and the plight of the Irish populace during a time of significant social upheaval. His work not only explores the legal aspects of the Poor Law but also delves into the prevailing attitudes toward poverty, revealing the complexities of societal responsibility and humanitarian action in the 19th century. George Sir Nicholls, a prominent figure in the realm of social reform, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of his time. Having served as a Poor Law Commissioner in various capacities, his experiences provided him with firsthand insights into the struggles faced by the impoverished in Ireland.

<p>In "The Sanitary Condition of the Poor in Relation to Disease, Poverty, and Crime," Benson Baker examines the intricate interplay between public health and socio-economic factors affecting the underprivileged during the late 19th century. Employing a meticulous blend of empirical research and socio-historical analysis, Baker employs a persuasive literary style that underscores the dire implications of inadequate sanitation.

Rescaling Urban Poverty Homelessness, State Restructuring and City Politics in Japan【電子書籍】[ Mahito Hayashi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>RESCALING URBAN POVERTY</strong></p> <p>“In this path-breaking book, Mahito Hayashi explores the rescaled geographies of homelessness that have been produced in contemporary Japanese cities. Through an original synthesis of regulationist political economy and immersive place-based research, Hayashi situates urban homelessness in Japan in comparative-international contexts. The book offers new theoretical perspectives from which to decipher emergent forms of urban marginality and their contestation.”<br /> <strong>ーNeil Brenner,</strong> Lucy Flower Professor of Urban Sociology, University of Chicago</p> <p>“Mahito Hayashi traces the shifting spatial strategies of unhoused people as they create spaces of emancipation within Japanese cities. Attending to the complexities of contentious class politics and livelihoods barely sustained by the survival economies, <em>Rescaling Urban Poverty</em> is a unique and valuable contribution to the study of the geographies of urban social movements.”<br /> <strong>ーNik Theodore,</strong> Head of the Department of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois Chicago</p> <p><em>Rescaling Urban Poverty</em> discloses the hidden dynamics of state rescaling that ensnares homeless people at the fringes of mainstream society and its housing regimes/classes.</p> <ul> <li>Explains the oppressive effects of rescaling and its limits in the interplay of the state, domiciled society, public space, urban class relations, social movements, and capitalism</li> <li>Uses ethnography as a re-ontologising medium of critical theorisation in Lefebvrian, Gramscian, Harveyan, and other Marxian strands</li> <li>Develops rich context-based and field-based arguments about social movements, poverty and housing policy, and public space formation in Japan</li> <li>Uncovers the radical geographies of placemaking, commoning, and translation that can create prohomeless urban environments under rescaling</li> <li>Refines the method of abstraction to broaden the international scope of critical literatures and links different scholarly standpoints without obscuring disagreements</li> </ul> <p>By advancing a broad research program for homelessness and poverty, <em>Rescaling Urban Poverty</em> provides the essential understanding of how state rescaling ensnares homeless and impoverished people in the interplay of the state, domiciled society, public space, urban class relations, social movements, and capitalism. Its three angles ? <em>national states</em>, <em>public and private spaces</em>, and <em>urban social movements</em> ? uncover the hidden dynamics of rescaling that emerge, and are resisted, at the fringes of mainstream society and its housing regimes/classes. Evidence is drawn from Japanese cities where the author has conducted long-term fieldwork and develops robust urban narratives by mobilising spatial regulation theory, metabolism theory, state theory, and critical housing theory. The book cross-fertilises these Lefebvrian, Gramscian, Harveyan, and other Marxian strands through meticulous efforts to reinterpret both old and new texts. By building bridges between classical and contemporary interests, and between the theories and Japanese cities, this book attracts various audiences in geography, sociology, urban studies, and political economy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,706円

Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II Enriched edition. An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth【電子書籍】[ Henry George ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II," Henry George presents a compelling examination of the intricate relationship between economic progress and social inequality. Written in the late 19th century, this monumental work adopts a straightforward yet persuasive prose style, underscoring his arguments with vivid anecdotes and extensive empirical data. George critiques the prevailing economic systems of his time, particularly capitalism, which he argues exacerbates poverty even amidst wealth creation. His seminal concept of the 'single tax' on land as a remedy for socioeconomic disparity invites readers to reconsider the ethical implications of property ownership and the distribution of wealth. Henry George, an influential economist and social reformer, was deeply affected by the urban poverty and labor struggles he witnessed during his early years in antebellum America. His experiences as a newspaper editor in California and interactions with the working class fueled his desire to explore the roots of social injustice and find practical solutions. His background in journalism provided him with the rhetorical skills needed to engage a wide audience in profound discussions about economics and ethics. "Progress and Poverty" remains a vital text for readers who are interested in the interplay between economic policies and social justice. It is a powerful argument for reformers seeking to bridge the gap between wealth and poverty, and its insights continue to resonate in contemporary debates about economic inequality. Readers will find George's work not only thought-provoking but also a call to action for fostering a more equitable society.

Is it culture, the weather, or geography that determines prosperity or poverty? As Why Nations Fail shows, none of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Drawing on fifteen years of original research, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is our man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or the lack of it). Korea, to take just one example, is a remarkably homogenous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created those two different institutional trajectories. Acemoglu and Robinson marshal extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, among them: • Will China’s economy continue to grow at such a high speed and ultimately overwhelm the West? • Are America’s best days behind it?

The author develops the alternative method of analysis--the 'entitlement approach'--concentrating on ownership and exchange, not on food supply. The book also provides a general analysis of the characterization and measurement of poverty. Various approaches used in economics, sociology, and political theory are critically examined. The predominance of distributional issues, including distribution between different occupation groups, links up the problem of conceptualizing poverty with that of analyzing starvation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,811円

Food Bank Nations Poverty, Corporate Charity and the Right to Food【電子書籍】[ Graham Riches ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the world’s most affluent and food secure societies, why is it now publicly acceptable to feed donated surplus food, dependent on corporate food waste, to millions of hungry people? While recognizing the moral imperative to feed hungry people, this book challenges the effectiveness, sustainability and moral legitimacy of globally entrenched corporate food banking as the primary response to rich world food poverty. It investigates the prevalence and causes of domestic hunger and food waste in OECD member states, the origins and thirty-year rise of US style charitable food banking, and its institutionalization and corporatization. It unmasks the hidden functions of transnational corporate food banking which construct domestic hunger as a matter for charity thereby allowing indifferent and austerity-minded governments to ignore increasing poverty and food insecurity and their moral, legal and political obligations, under international law, to realize the right to food.</p> <p>The book’s unifying theme is understanding the food bank nation as a powerful metaphor for the deep hole at the centre of neoliberalism, illustrating: the de-politicization of hunger; the abandonment of social rights; the stigma of begging and loss of human dignity; broken social safety nets; the dysfunctional food system; the shift from income security to charitable food relief; and public policy neglect. It exposes the hazards of corporate food philanthropy and the moral vacuum within negligent governments and their lack of public accountability. The advocacy of civil society with a right to food bite is urgently needed to gather political will and advance ‘joined-up’ policies and courses of action to ensure food security for all.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,465円

This is an inspiring story of one man’s realization that access to even a small amount of credit can transform the lives of the poorest citizens of the world.</p> <p>Yunus aimed to help the poor by supporting the spark of personal initiative and enterprise by which they could lift themselves out of poverty forever. It was an idea born on a day in 1976 when he loaned $27 from his own pocket to forty-two people living in a tiny village. These microentrepreneurs only needed enough credit to purchase the raw materials for their trade. Yunus’s small loan helped them break the cycle of poverty for good. His solution to world poverty, founded on the belief that credit is a fundamental human right, is brilliantly simple: lend poor people money on terms that are suitable to them, teach them a few sound financial principles, and they will help themselves.</p> <p>Yunus’s theories work. Grameen Bank has provided loans totaling six billion dollars to seven million families in rural Bangladesh. Today, more than 250 institutions in nearly 100 countries operate micro-credit programs based on the Grameen methodology, placing Grameen at the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through micro-lending.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,563円

The Economics of Poverty History, Measurement, and Policy【電子書籍】[ Martin Ravallion ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There are fewer people living in extreme poverty in the world today than 30 years ago. While that is an achievement, continuing progress for poor people is far from assured. Inequalities in access to key resources threaten to stall growth and poverty reduction in many places. The world's poorest have made only a small absolute gain over those 30 years. Progress has been slow against relative poverty as judged by the standards of the country and time one lives in, and a great many people in the world's emerging middle class remain vulnerable to falling back into poverty. <em>The Economics of Poverty</em> reviews critically past and present debates on poverty, spanning both rich and poor countries. The book provides an accessible new synthesis of current economic thinking on key questions: How is poverty measured? How much poverty is there? Why does poverty exist, and is it inevitable? What can be done to reduce poverty? Can it even be eliminated? The book does not assume that readers know economics already. Those new to the subject get a lot of help along the way in understanding its concepts and methods. Economics lives through its relevance to real world problems, and here the problem of poverty is both the central focus and a vehicle for learning.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,548円

The Illegal Causes and Legal Cure of Poverty Lysander Spooner【電子書籍】[ Lysander Spooner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Lysander Spooner, a prominent American legal theorist and abolitionist, delves into the complexities surrounding poverty in his seminal work, 'The Illegal Causes and Legal Cure of Poverty'. Written in a clear and persuasive style, Spooner examines the root causes of poverty, arguing that government interference and unjust laws perpetuate economic inequality. Drawing on his background as a lawyer, he provides a critical analysis of existing legal frameworks and offers innovative solutions to alleviate poverty. Spooner's work is a thought-provoking treatise that challenges conventional views on poverty and social justice, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in legal reform and economic policy. As a vocal advocate for individual rights and limited government intervention, Spooner's motivation to write this book stems from his belief in the power of legal reform to address systemic issues of poverty and economic inequality. His unique perspective as a legal expert and social critic adds credibility to his arguments, underscoring the urgency of reevaluating existing legal structures to combat poverty. I highly recommend 'The Illegal Causes and Legal Cure of Poverty' to readers seeking a comprehensive analysis of the legal implications of poverty and potential solutions. Spooner's insights offer a fresh perspective on an enduring societal problem, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the relationship between law and poverty.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Charity and Poverty in Advanced Welfare States【電子書籍】[ Cameron Parsell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book conceptualises the role of charity to people who are poor in wealthy countries and outlines a set of practical and conceptual ideas for how it could be reimagined.</p> <p>Despite professionalised welfare states and strong economies, in many advanced industrialised nations, charity continues to play a major role in the lives of people who are poor. Extending what we know about how neoliberalism drives a decayed welfare state that outsources welfare provisioning to charities and community initiatives, this book asks how can we understand and conceptualise society’s willingness to engage in charitable acts towards the poor, and how can charity be reimagined to contribute to justice in an unjust society? Through interrogating multiple data sources, including government datasets, survey datasets, media analyses, and ethnographic data, this book shows that charity is not well-suited to addressing the material dimension of poverty. It argues the need for a revised model of charity with the capacity to contribute to social solidarity that bridges social divisions and is inclusive of the poor. Presenting a model for reimaging charity which enables reciprocity and active contributions from recipients and providers, this book shows how power imbalances flowing from the unidirectional provision of charity can be reduced, allowing opportunities for reciprocal care that foster both well-being and solidarity.</p> <p>This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of social policy, public policy, social welfare, sociology, and social work.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,116円

Give People Money How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World【電子書籍】[ Annie Lowrey ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**A <em>New York Times Book Review</em> Editors' Choice<br /> Shortlisted for the 2018 FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award</p> <p>A brilliantly reported, global look at universal basic incomeーa stipend given to every citizenーand why it might be necessary in an age of rising inequality, persistent poverty, and dazzling technology.**</p> <p>Imagine if every month the government deposited $1,000 into your bank account, with nothing expected in return. It sounds crazy. But it has become one of the most influential and hotly debated policy ideas of our time. Futurists, radicals, libertarians, socialists, union representatives, feminists, conservatives, Bernie supporters, development economists, child-care workers, welfare recipients, and politicians from India to Finland to Canada to Mexicoーall are talking about UBI.</p> <p>In this sparkling and provocative book, economics writer Annie Lowrey examines the UBI movement from many angles. She travels to Kenya to see how a UBI is lifting the poorest people on earth out of destitution, India to see how inefficient government programs are failing the poor, South Korea to interrogate UBI’s intellectual pedigree, and Silicon Valley to meet the tech titans financing UBI pilots in expectation of a world with advanced artificial intelligence and little need for human labor.</p> <p>Lowrey explores the potential of such a sweeping policy and the challenges the movement faces, among them contradictory aims, uncomfortable costs, and, most powerfully, the entrenched belief that no one should get something for nothing. In the end, she shows how this arcane policy has the potential to solve some of our most intractable economic problems, while offering a new vision of citizenship and a firmer foundation for our society in this age of turbulence and marvels.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,064円
