The Strange non-death of neo-liberalism / Colin Crouch.--
United Kingdom: Polity Press, 2011.
xii, 199p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9780745652214.
320.51 CRO 139053
The financial crisis seemed to present a fundamental
challenge to neo-liberalism, the body of ideas that have
constituted the political orthodoxy of most advanced
economies in recent decades. The author argues in this
book that it will shrug off this challenge. The reason is
that while neo-liberalism seems to be about free markets,
in practice it is concerned with the dominance over
public life of the giant corporation. This has been
intensified, not checked, by the recent financial crisis
and acceptance that certain financial corporations are
-too big to fail-. Although much political debate remains
preoccupied with conflicts between the market and the
state, the impact of the corporation on both these is
today far more important.

addressing the impact of the dramatic changes that have
taken place.

This book reconstructs the intellectual climate of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to illuminate the
intricate ideological transformation that occurred,
wherein the pursuit of material interests - so long
condemned as the deadly sin of avarice - was assigned the
role of containing the unruly and destructive passions of
man. It also offers a new interpretation for the rise of
capitalism, one that emphasizes the continuities between
old and new, in contrast to the assumption of a sharp
break that is a common feature of both Marxian and
Weberian thinking.

dynamics, commodities and the business cycle, and

approach to the subject matter lies in a shift away from
the descriptive to the econometric analysis of commodity
markets. Information on market trends of commodities is
presented in the first part, with a strong emphasis on
the quantitative treatment of that information in the
remaining two parts of the book.

This book discusses policies to achieve inclusive growth
in developing Asia, including agriculture, investment,
certain state interventions, monetary, fiscal, and the
role of the state as employer of last resort. The author
argues that full employment of the labor force is the key
to delivering inclusive growth. Full employment is the
most direct way to improve the well-being of the people,
especially of the most disadvantaged. Since unemployment
and underemployment are pervasive in many parts of the
region, Asian leaders must commit to the goal of full
employment. The book also analyzes the region-s
phenomenal growth in recent decades in terms of
structural transformation.

The essays in this book boldly confront the quest for
security arising out of the social, economic,
environmental, and political crises and transformations
of our century. The contributors begin with an expansive,
balanced analysis of the global landscape and the factors
contributing to the growth of insecurity. This book
argues that the superior performance of the Scandinavian
countries arises from their superior systems of social
protection, which allow their citizens to undertake
greater risk and more actively participate in
globalization. This book also examines how these global
changes play out not only in the relations among
countries and the management of globalization but at
every level of our society-- most importantly in our
cities, especially with increasing urbanization.

trading castes in Indian society, and the role of myth as
a repository of socially important knowledge.

This book brings together the best-known and most
influential articles on sensemaking by one of its most
distinguished exponents, the author explores the process
of how organizations discover that they face important
decisions. Often organizations have discussions in order
to see what they think, or act in order to see what they
want - before they are even aware that a decision has to
be made. The effective organization is one that
understands this process of sensemaking and learns to
manage it with wisdom. The ways in which people do that
are demonstrated in chapters of this book. This
collection provides a valuable addition to the
international literature on organization theory.

This book illustrates how such approaches can encourage
narcissism, megalomania and poor decision-making on the
part of leaders, at great expense to those organizations
they are there to serve. It uses a number of case studies
to illustrate the perils of transformational leadership,
from the Jonestown tragedy in 1978 when over 900 people
were either murdered or committed suicide at the urging
of their leader, to an analysis of how banking executives
tried to explain away their role in the 2008 financial
crisis.

In this book, author traces the rise and eventual fall of
one of the most successful military commanders in
history. In 325 BCE, Alexander and his conquering army
prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in
their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably
hostile. Little did they know that within two years their
beloved king would be dead and their labours seemingly
wasted. Tracing the rise and eventual fall of one of the
most successful military commanders in history, the
author engagingly and with great detail shows us how
Alexander earned his appellation, The Great.
