        Globalized urban precarity in Berlin and Abidjan

        Globalized urban precarity in Berlin and Abidjan

        Young men and the digital economy

        by Hannah Schilling

        Digital technologies promise efficiency and comfort, but the smoothness of platform services relies on the hidden social labour of those who keep the gig economy running. This book presents a comparative ethnography of young men making a living through digital technologies: selling mobile airtime in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and app-based delivery riders in Berlin, Germany. These case studies explore the significance of symbolic capital in urban youth's social existence and organisation of livelihood in the digital economy, and the technological mechanisms producing a new form of urban precarity. Globalized urban precarity in Berlin and Abidjan puts forward an original comparative approach to develop a global urban sociology for the digital era. It provides an innovative analytical toolbox that decentres discussions of precarity from the standard of a normal employment contract. With its focus on symbolic capital, the ethnography shows the consequences of the proliferating gig economy for status struggles among urban youth, and carefully embeds the densification of software and services into the socio-material relations on which these new urban infrastructures are built.

        What Europe must do now. A wake-up call

        by Edzard Reuter

        Edzard Reuter is a European by conviction, and a fighter for an economy that is also geared to the well-being of employees, the environment and society. In his book, he looks back at the 90 years of his life as a politically and socially committed person. The expert in and observer of world politics and the world economy shows how the world has changed and what role the Middle East, Russia, the USA and China play in this. For Reuter, the path of the European Union is quite clear: it has to become an independent state structure. The war in Ukraine testifies to the urgency of a paradigm shift in Europe.

        Transformation of the Agri-food System in Central and Eastern Europe and the New Independent States

        by Jill E Hobbs, William A Kerr, James D Gaisford

        This book offers a coherent perspective on the transition to a market-based agri-food system in the Central and Eastern European Countries and the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union. It provides a formal analysis of the entire food chain from farm inputs to final consumers including imports and exports. Major components of the agribusiness sector (inputs, farm-level marketing, processing, distribution and retailing) are all dealt with in separate chapters. In addition there is coverage of food security, multinationals, commercial law, finance and building market institutions. Theoretical chapters are devoted to problems concerning prices, transactions costs and bilateral monopoly. This theoretical discussion gives an in depth discussion of the difficulties underlying the process of transition to a market-based agri-food system and forms a consistent focus for the book as a whole. Overall, the book makes a highly original contribution to the literature on this topical subject and will be indispensable for agricultural and food economists, as well as general economists and others interested in the topic of economies in transition.

        The management of the British economy, 1945–2001

        by Nicholas Woodward, Martin Hargreaves

        Since 1945 British governments have played an active role in managing the economy in the interests of securing high employment, economic growth and low inflation with their approach evolving in response to changing economic circumstances, intellectual shifts and past policy failures. This book provides an overview of economic management, particularly financial management, and addresses how it has changed and why it has not always been successful. It examines the actual policies that were introduced, the problems that various governments faced in implementing them and how the approach to policy-making changed. It also examines the main phases of economic policy-making and the conduct of policy-making, as there is a widespread consensus that until recently short-run economic management could have been more successful than it was. Clearly and authoritatively written, it will be of particular benefit to students of economics, politics and contemporary history, although it will appeal to anyone with an interest in economic affairs. ;

        Markets and power in digital capitalism

        by Philipp Staab

        Today's global capitalism runs through digital networks. Its leaders are internet giants such as Google, Apple, Amazon and Tencent. Their technologies are ubiquitous: we carry high-performance computers around in our pockets, manage our lives in the cloud and display them on social media. They have also literally privatised the market, transforming capitalism in the process. Philipp Staab takes us on a virtual tour of modern digital capitalism. He shows how digital surveillance and evaluation practices have proliferated throughout the economy, exacerbating social inequality in the process. What is specific to digital capitalism, Staab argues, is the emergence of 'proprietary markets'. In the past the focus was on producing things and selling them at a profit. Today the meta-platforms extract their profits by owning the market itself.

        Understanding 'the economy' in Brexit Britain

        by Anna Killick

        In Brexit Britain, talk of 'the economy' dominates; however, we know surprisingly little about how people understand this term. In the aftermath of the 2008 crash and decades of neoliberalism, how are understandings of 'the economy' changing, and is it the case that Remain supporters care more about 'the economy' than Leave supporters? This timely and insightful book argues that people with similar experiences of the economy share an understanding of the term, regardless of whether they supported Leave or Remain. Through extensive ethnographic research in a city on the South coast of England, Anna Killick explores what people from a range of backgrounds understand about key aspects of 'the economy', including employment, austerity, trade and the economic effects of migration.

        Die völlig verrückte Geschichte, wie die Sesamstraße nach Russland kam

        by Natasha Lance Rogoff

        Kurz nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion erwartet Natasha Lance Rogoff die Aufgabe ihres Lebens: Sie soll die ur-amerikanische Sesamstraße für das russische Fernsehen adaptieren. Dass es keine Produktion wie jede andere werden wird, zeigt sich bereits im Vorfeld: Der erste Investor entgeht nur knapp einem Bombenattentat, drei Fernsehmanager werden ermordet, und als endlich ein Produktionsbüro bezogen werden kann, wird es kurz darauf vom Militär besetzt. Schließlich sind da noch die Differenzen im russisch-amerikanischen Team: Filme, in denen Männer den Abwasch machen und Patchwork-Familien fröhliche Buchstabenlieder singen, kommen bei den russischen Kreativen nicht gut an – Schwermut und klassische Musik sollen zum Einsatz kommen. Es wird beherzt gestritten, und nur langsam nähern sich beide Seiten an. Am Ende entstehen aber Kulissen und Handpuppen, Filme und Musik, die amerikanische Vorgaben und russische Tradition verbinden. Die Sendung wird ein Riesenerfolg – bis sie von Putin-treuen Fernsehmanagern abgesetzt wird. Mehr als zehn Jahre lang erreichte die russische Ausgabe der Sesamstraße Millionen von Familien. Die Vision der Sendung: eine neue Realität für die Kinder und Enkelkinder des Landes zu entwerfen – zunächst auf dem Fernsehbildschirm und dann im wirklichen Leben. Natasha Lance Rogoff, die amerikanische Produzentin der Sendung, gibt einen Einblick hinter die Kulissen und erzählt eine turbulente Geschichte von Bombenanschlägen, dem Clash der Kulturen und der zarten Hoffnung, dass es so etwas wie Annäherung zwischen zwei Welten geben kann.

        Water struggles as resistance to neoliberal capitalism

        A time of reproductive unrest

        by Madelaine Moore

        This book provides an important intervention into social reproduction theory and the politics of water. Presenting an incorporated comparison, it analyses the conjuncture following the 2007 financial crisis through the lens of water expropriation and resistance. This brings into view the way that transnational capital has made use of and been facilitated by the strategic selectivities of both the Irish and the Australian state, as well as the particular class formations that emerged in resistance to such water grabs. What is revealed is a crisis-ridden system that is marked by increasing reproductive unrest - class understood through the lens of social reproduction theory. As an important analysis of two significant water struggles, the book makes a compelling argument for integrating the study of social movements within critical political economy.

        Youth and the Rural Economy in Africa: Hard Work and Hazard

        by James Sumberg

        This book unites recent findings from quantitative and qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men and women engage with the rural economy and imagine their futures, and how development policies and interventions can find traction with these realities. Through framing, overview and evidence-based chapters, this book provides a critical perspective on current discourse, research and development interventions around youth and rural development. Chapters are organized around commonly-made foundational claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas, have no interest in agriculture, cannot access land, can be the engine of rural transformation, are stuck in permanent waithood, and that the rural economy can provide a wealth of opportunity. This book: Engages with and challenges current research, policy and development debates.Considers social difference as a way of examining the category of youth.Is written by authors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, providing varied perspectives.This book draws from existing literature and new analysis of several multi-country and multi-disciplinary studies, focusing on gender and other aspects of social difference. It is suitable for researchers, policy makers and advocates, as well as postgraduate students in international development and agricultural economics. Table of Contents 1: African youth and the rural economy: points of departure 2: Empirical windows on African rural youth 3: Are Africa’s rural youth abandoning agriculture? 4: Young people and land 5: Mobility and the rural landscape of opportunity 6: Are young people transforming the rural economy? 7: The social landscape of education and work in rural sub-Saharan Africa 8: Are rural young people stuck in waithood? 9: Young people’s imagined futures 10: Young people and the rural economy: synthesis and implications

        Managing Events, Festivals and the Visitor Economy

        Concepts, Collaborations and Cases

        by Michael B. Duignan

        This edited text, intended to support a research-informed approach to learning and teaching, presents an array of concepts, collaborations and in-depth cases related to managing events, festivals and the visitor economy. Authors offer an array of philosophical, political, cultural, and ethical perspectives on how to achieve this across a range of contexts, from Cambodia, China, Egypt to the British cathedral city of Lincoln. Though recognising individual difference, each chapter unites in their common pursuit of supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). This is significant as utilising the UNSDGs as a normative organising framework for how we all think about, plan, and manage a 'good' visitor economy is increasingly ubiquitous. It is with this in mind that each chapter provides explicit links to the UNSDGs and policy and/or practical implications, along with a series of critical self-assessment questions to reflect on the chapter's key arguments. This collection aims to satiate what appears to be an increasing appetite of readers and students alike who seek exposure to rigorous debate in and out of the classroom.

        Youth and the Rural Economy in Africa

        by James Sumberg, Jordan Chamberlin, Barbara Crossouard, Máiréad Dunne, Justin Flynn, Marjoke Oosterom, Carolina Szyp, Dorte Thorsen, Felix Kwame Yeboah, Thomas Yeboah

        This book brings together recent findings from quantitative and qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men and women engage with the rural economy, imagine their futures and how development policies and interventions find traction (or not) with these realities. Through framing, overview and evidence-based chapters, it provides a critical perspective on current discourse, research and development interventions around youth and rural development. It is organised around commonly-made foundational claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas; have no interest in agriculture; cannot access land; are stuck in permanent waithood; that the rural economy provides (or can provide) a wealth of opportunity; and that they can be the engine of rural transformation. It draws from existing literature and new analysis arising from several multi-country and multi-disciplinary studies, focusing on gender and other aspects of social difference. It is a major contribution to current debates and development policy about youth, agriculture and employment in rural Africa.
