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。

Launching the War on Poverty An Oral History【電子書籍】[ Michael L. Gillette ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Head Start, Job Corps, Foster Grandparents, College Work-Study, VISTA, Community Action, and the Legal Services Corporation are familiar programs, but their tumultuous beginning has been largely forgotten. Conceived amid the daring idealism of the 1960s, these programs originated as weapons in Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, an offensive spearheaded by a controversial new government agency. Within months, the Office of Economic Opportunity created an array of unconventional initiatives that empowered the poor, challenged the established order, and ultimately transformed the nation's attitudes toward poverty. In <em>Launching the War on Poverty</em>, historian Michael L. Gillette weaves together oral history interviews with the architects of the Great Society's boldest experiment. Forty-nine former poverty warriors, including Sargent Shriver, Adam Yarmolinsky, and Lawrence F. O'Brien, recount this inside story of unprecedented governmental innovation. The interviews capture the excitement and heady optimism of Americans in the 1960s along with their conflicts and disillusionment. This new edition of <em>Launching the War on Poverty</em> adds the voice of Lyndon Johnson to the story with excerpts from his recently-released White House telephone conversations. In these colorful and brutally candid conversations, LBJ exercises his full arsenal of presidential powers, political leverage, and legendary persuasiveness to win one of his most difficult legislative battles. The second edition also documents how the OEO's offspring survived their volatile origins to become broadly supported features of domestic policy.</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。

The Injustice of Place Uncovering the Legacy of Poverty in America【電子書籍】[ Kathryn J. Edin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A sweeping and surprising new understanding of extreme poverty in America from the authors of the acclaimed <em>$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America.</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“This book forces you to see American poverty in a whole new light.” (Matthew Desmond, author of <em>Poverty, by America</em> and <em>Evicted</em>)</strong></p> <p>Three of the nation’s top scholars ? known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America ? turn their attention from the country’s poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that America’s most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there.</p> <p>This revelation set in motion a five-year journey across Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these communities, poring over centuries of local history, attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the legacies of the deepest poverty in Americaーincluding inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.</p> <p>The unfolding revelation in <em>The Injustice of Place</em> is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in commonーa history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nation’s places of deepest need.</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。

Poverty and Famines An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation【電子書籍】[ Amartya Sen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The main focus of this book is on the causation of starvation in general and of famines in particular. 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。

An End to Poverty? A Historical Debate【電子書籍】[ Gareth Stedman Jones ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the 1790s, for the first time, reformers proposed bringing poverty to an end. Inspired by scientific progress, the promise of an international economy, and the revolutions in France and the United States, political thinkers such as Thomas Paine and Antoine-Nicolas Condorcet argued that all citizens could be protected against the hazards of economic insecurity. In <em>An End to Poverty?</em> Gareth Stedman Jones revisits this founding moment in the history of social democracy and examines how it was derailed by conservative as well as leftist thinkers. By tracing the historical evolution of debates concerning poverty, Stedman Jones revives an important, but forgotten strain of progressive thought. He also demonstrates that current discussions about economic issuesーdownsizing, globalization, and financial regulationーwere shaped by the ideological conflicts of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.</p> <p>Paine and Condorcet believed that republicanism combined with universal pensions, grants to support education, and other social programs could alleviate poverty. In tracing the inspiration for their beliefs, Stedman Jones locates an unlikely source-Adam Smith. Paine and Condorcet believed that Smith's vision of a dynamic commercial society laid the groundwork for creating economic security and a more equal society.</p> <p>But these early visions of social democracy were deemed too threatening to a Europe still reeling from the traumatic aftermath of the French Revolution and increasingly anxious about a changing global economy. Paine and Condorcet were demonized by Christian and conservative thinkers such as Burke and Malthus, who used Smith's ideas to support a harsher vision of society based on individualism and laissez-faire economics. Meanwhile, as the nineteenth century wore on, thinkers on the left developed more firmly anticapitalist views and criticized Paine and Condorcet for being too "bourgeois" in their thinking. Stedman Jones however, argues that contemporary social democracy should take up the mantle of these earlier thinkers, and he suggests that the elimination of poverty need not be a utopian dream but may once again be profitably made the subject of practical, political, and social-policy debates.</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。

10th Anniversary Edition The Life You Can Save How To Do Your Part To End World Poverty【電子書籍】[ Peter Singer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The 10th Anniversary Edition The Life You Can Save: How to Do Your Part to End World Poverty is an updated version of the landmark book by the world-renowned philosopher Peter Singer. In it, Singer argues that living an ethical life should include devoting some of our resources to helping those less fortunate than ourselves, and it presents practical ways to help.</p> <p>In The Life You Can Save, Singer makes the compelling case for the fact that our donations to effective charities make a dramatic difference in the lives of others without diminishing the quality of our own. “Most of us are absolutely certain that we wouldn’t hesitate to save a drowning child, and that we would do so at considerable cost to ourselves. Yet while thousands of children die each day, we spend money on things we take for granted and would hardly notice if they were not there. Is that wrong? If so, how far does our obligation to the poor go?” Together, these two questions are the driving force of The Life You Can Save.</p> <p>Using ethical arguments, provocative thought experiments, illuminating examples, and case studies of charitable giving, Singer shows that our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible. He dissects and refutes perceived impediments to giving and provides a number of practical guidelines for making charitable contributions.</p> <p>This book furthers Peter Singer’s urgent call to action and serves as a hopeful primer on the power of compassion, when mixed with rigorous investigation and careful reasoning, to lift others out of despair.</p> <p>Learn how you can be part of the solution, doing good for others while adding fulfillment to your own life.</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。

Hagar of the Pawn-Shop Enriched edition. A Tale of Poverty, Crime, and Survival in Victorian London【電子書籍】[ Fergus Hume ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Set against the backdrop of Victorian London, Fergus Hume's "Hagar of the Pawn-Shop" intricately weaves a tale of mystery, loss, and the social struggles faced by the lower classes. Hume employs a rich narrative style characterized by vivid descriptions and psychological depth, revealing the dark underbelly of an era caught between opulence and destitution. The novel explores themes of redemption and the human condition through the poignant story of Hagar, a young woman trapped in a world of pawnbrokers and shadows, showcasing Hume's ability to blend detective fiction with social commentary, a distinctive hallmark of his literary oeuvre. Fergus Hume, an early pioneer of the detective genre, gained notoriety with his previous work, "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab." His experiences as an immigrant and his keen observations of society's injustices perhaps inspired him to delve deeper into the lives of marginalized individuals. Hume's unique perspective, grounded in the realities of 19th-century urban life, shapes the narrative and imbues it with a sense of urgency and authenticity. This engrossing novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate rich character development and morally complex narratives. Hagar's journey will resonate with anyone interested in the socio-economic dynamics of historical fiction, as well as fans of classic detective mysteries looking for a story that transcends mere intrigue.

Dimensions of Poverty Measurement, Epistemic Injustices, Activism【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This anthology constitutes an important contribution to the interdisciplinary debate on poverty measurement and alleviation. Absolute and relative povertyーboth within and across state boundariesーare standardly measured and evaluated in monetary terms. However, poverty researchers have highlighted the shortfalls of one-dimensional monetary metrics. A new consensus is emerging that effectively addressing poverty requires a nuanced understanding of poverty as a relational phenomenon involving deprivations in multiple dimensions, including health, standard of living, education and political participation.</p> <p>This volume advances the debate on poverty by providing a forum for philosophers and empirical researchers. It combines philosophically sound analysis and genuinely global research on poverty's social embeddedness. Next to an introduction to this interdisciplinary fieldーwhich links Practical Philosophy, Development Economics, Political Science, and Sociologyーit contains articles by leading international experts and early career scholars. The contributors analyse the concept of poverty, detail its multiple dimensions, reveal epistemic injustices in poverty research, and reflect on the challenges of poverty-related social activism. The unifying theme connecting this volume's contributions is that poverty must be understood as a multidimensional and socially relational phenomenon, and that this insight can enhance our efforts to measure and alleviate 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。

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。

Problems of Poverty: An Inquiry into the Industrial Condition of the Poor【電子書籍】[ J. A. Hobson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Problems of Poverty: An Inquiry into the Industrial Condition of the Poor," J. A. Hobson offers a penetrating analysis of the socioeconomic challenges faced by the working class in early 20th-century Britain. Through a rigorous exploration of industrial conditions, Hobson employs a blend of empirical observation and sociological inquiry, articulating the multifaceted nature of poverty as deeply intertwined with structural inequalities, such as capitalism's inherent tendencies. His literary style is marked by clarity and eloquence, utilizing case studies to illustrate systemic issues, allowing for a deeper understanding of the plight of the impoverished populace. Hobson, an influential economist and social critic, was profoundly affected by the stark contrasts he observed in industrial society. His exposure to the harsh realities of poverty throughout his career, coupled with his commitment to social reform, directed his scholarly pursuits toward understanding the root causes of economic disparities. His earlier works on imperialism and the critique of capitalist ideologies provide a solid foundation for the arguments he presents in this crucial text. This book serves as a call to awareness and action, making it essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in social justice. Hobson's insights are not only historically significant but also resonate in contemporary discussions around economic inequality, making this inquiry a vital contribution to both economic theory and social advocacy.</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。

Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries【電子書籍】[ Joanna H?rm? ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In <em>Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries</em>, Joanna H?rm? draws on primary research carried out in sub-Saharan African countries and in India to show how the poor are being failed by both government and private schools. The primary research data and experiences are combined with additional examples from around the world to offer a wide perspective on the issue of marketized education, low-fee private schooling and government systems. H?rm? offers a pragmatic approach to a divisive issue and an ideologically-driven debate and shows how the well-intentioned international drive towards 'education for all' is being encouraged and even imposed long before some countries have prepared the teachers and developed the systems needed to implement it successfully. Suggesting that governments need to take a much more constructive approach to the issue, H?rm? argues for a greater acceptance of the challenges, abandoning ideological positions and a scaling back of ambition in the hope of laying stronger foundations for educational development.</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。

<p>This book discusses soft computing, which provides an efficient platform to deal with imprecision, uncertainty, vagueness and approximation in order to attain robustness and reliable computing. It explores two major concepts of soft computing: fuzzy set theory and neural networks, which relate to uncertainty handling and machine learning techniques respectively. Generally, fuzzy sets are considered as vague or uncertain sets having membership function lying between 0 and 1, and ANN is a type of artificial intelligence that attempts to imitate the way a human brain works by configuring specific applications, for instance pattern recognition or data classification, through learning processes.</p> <p>The book also presents C/MATLAB programming codes related to the basics of fuzzy set, interval arithmetic and ANN in a concise, practical and adaptable manner along, with simple examples and self-validation unsolved practice questions in few cases</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。

Why Nations Fail The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty【電子書籍】[ James A. Robinson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012.Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace.Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth 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。

<p>Have you ever stopped and wondered where your jeans came from? Who made them and where? Ever wondered where they end up after you donate them for recycling?</p> <p>Following a pair of jeans, <em>Clothing Poverty</em> takes the reader on a vivid around-the-world tour to reveal how clothes are manufactured and retailed, bringing to light how fast fashion and recycling are interconnected.

<p>This book offers a broad and diverse reflection of the ways in which child poverty could be conceptualised, and the ways in which it is intertwined with childhood as a specific social condition. Furthermore, the responsibilities towards children and the possible mechanisms required for dealing with this condition will be analysed and clarified.</p> <p>This is the first volume on philosophy and child poverty. Despite the increasing number of publications on poverty, the particular phenomenon of poverty during childhood has not received much philosophical attention. This is surprising, given the severity and depth of child poverty around the globe.</p> <p>This volume brings together various philosophical approaches and how they understand and tackle child poverty. This is an important addition to the philosophical literature, which is also of wider interest to scholars working in the social sciences and with an interest in child 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。

Poverty, Inequality and the Critical Theory of Recognition【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book brings together philosophical approaches to explore the relation of recognition and poverty. This volume examines how critical theories of recognition can be utilized to enhance our understanding, evaluation and critique of poverty and social inequalities. Furthermore, chapters in this book explore anti-poverty policies, development aid and duties towards the (global) poor. This book includes critical examinations of reflections on poverty and related issues in the work of past and present philosophers of recognition. This book hopes to contribute to the ongoing and expanding debate on recognition in ethics, political and social philosophy by focusing on poverty, which is one highly important social and global challenge.</p> <p>“If one believed that the theme of “recognition” had been theoretically exhausted over the last couple of years, this book sets the record straight. The central point of all the studies collected here is that poverty is best understood in its socialcauses, psychic consequences and moral injustice when studied within the framework of recognition theory. Regardless of how recognition is defined in detail, poverty is best captured as the absence of all material and cultural conditions for being recognized as a human being. Whoever is interested in the many facets of poverty is well advised to consult this path-breaking book.” Axel Honneth, Columbia University.</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。

<p><strong>From Nobel Prize winner and bestselling author of <em>Banker to the Poor</em>, “a****n inspiring volume, full of practical information” (<em>BusinessWeek</em>) on the power of creative entrepreneurship to solve global inequality</strong></p> <p>What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger, and inequality? As founder of Grameen Bank, Nobel Peace Prize?winner Muhammad Yunus pioneered microcredit, the innovative banking program that provides poor peopleーmainly womenーwith small loans they use to launch businesses and lift their families out of poverty. In <em>Creating a World Without Poverty</em>, Yunus goes beyond microcredit to pioneer the idea of social businessーa completely new way to use the creative vibrancy of business to tackle social problems from poverty and pollution to inadequate health care and lack of education. Yunus’s “Next Big Idea” offers a pioneering model for nothing less than a new, more humane form of capitalism.</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。

The Sanitary Condition of the Poor in Relation to Disease, Poverty, and Crime With an appendix on the control and prevention of infectious diseases【電子書籍】[ Benson Baker ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<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. The book situates itself within the burgeoning field of social reform, echoing the sentiments of contemporaneous figures like Edwin Chadwick, while simultaneously challenging prevailing attitudes toward poverty and crime as mere moral failings rather than consequences of systemic neglect. Benson Baker, a social reformer and public health advocate, drew from his extensive experience in urban studies to highlight the stark realities faced by the impoverished population. His background in medicine and social sciences imbued him with a unique perspective, driving him to illuminate the intersections of health, poverty, and criminality. Baker's commitment to improving societal conditions is reflected in his resolute advocacy for sanitary reforms and his ability to convey the urgency of these issues with clarity and conviction. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the historical foundations of public health, sociology, or urban studies. Baker's findings resonate with contemporary discussions about social inequities and their health implications, making it a vital text for scholars and activists alike. Readers will gain not only a deeper understanding of historical public health challenges but also insight into the persistent issues of today.</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。

The Highest Poverty Monastic Rules and Form-of-Life【電子書籍】[ Giorgio Agamben ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What is a rule, if it appears to become confused with life? And what is a human life, if, in every one of its gestures, of its words, and of its silences, it cannot be distinguished from the rule?</p> <p>It is to these questions that Agamben's new book turns by means of an impassioned reading of the fascinating and massive phenomenon of Western monasticism from Pachomius to St. Francis. The book reconstructs in detail the life of the monks with their obsessive attention to temporal articulation and to the Rule, to ascetic techniques and to liturgy. But Agamben's thesis is that the true novelty of monasticism lies not in the confusion between life and norm, but in the discovery of a new dimension, in which "life" as such, perhaps for the first time, is affirmed in its autonomy, and in which the claim of the "highest poverty" and "use" challenges the law in ways that we must still grapple with today.</p> <p>How can we think a form-of-life, that is, a human life released from the grip of law, and a use of bodies and of the world that never becomes an appropriation? How can we think life as something not subject to ownership but only for common use?</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。

Poverty, by America【電子書籍】[ Matthew Desmond ]

<p>**#1 <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? The Pulitzer Prize?winning author of <em>Evicted</em> reimagines the debate on poverty, making a “provocative and compelling” (NPR) argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it.</p> <p>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: <em>The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review,</em> NPR, <em>Oprah Daily, Time, The Star Tribune, Vulture, The Christian Science Monitor,</em> Chicago Public Library, <em>Esquire, California Review of Books, She Reads, Library Journal</em></p> <p>“Urgent and accessible . . . Its moral force is a gut punch.”ー<em>The New Yorker</em>**</p> <p><strong>Longlisted for the <em>Inc.</em> Non-Obvious Book Award ? Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal</strong></p> <p>The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?</p> <p>In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. Those of us who are financially secure exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. We prioritize the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, designing a welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Some lives are made small so that others may grow.</p> <p>Elegantly written and fiercely argued, this compassionate book gives us new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. It also helps us imagine solutions. Desmond builds a startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty. He calls on us all to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom.</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。

Banker to the Poor Micro-lending and the Battle Against World Poverty【電子書籍】[ Muhammad Yunus ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The “stirring” (<em>Washington Post</em>) story of how Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus invented microcredit, founded the Grameen Bank, and transformed the fortunes of millions of poor people around the world</strong></p> <p>In 1983, Muhammad Yunus established Grameen, a bank devoted to providing the poorest of Bangladesh with minuscule loans. Twenty-three years later they won the Nobel Prize for Peace for their work in eradicating poverty. 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。
