Today we have greater wealth, health, opportunity, and choice than at any time in history Yet a chorus of intellectuals and politicians laments our current condition -- as slaves to technology, coarsened by popular culture, and insecure in the face of economic change The future, they tell us, is dangerously out of control, and unless we precisely озьэа govern the forces of change, we risk disaster In The Future and Its Enemies, Virginia Postrel explodes the myths behind these claims Using examples that range from medicine to fashion, she explores how progress truly occurs and demonstrates that human betterment depends not on conformity to one central vision but on creativity and decentralized, open-ended trial and error She argues that these two opposing world-views -- "stasis" vs "dynamism" -- are replacing "left" and "right" to define our cultural and political debate as we enter the next century In this bold exploration of how civilizations learn, Postrel heralds a fundamental shift in the way we view politics, culture, technology, and society as we face an unknown -- and invigorating -- future Автор Вирджиния Пострел.  Издательство: Free Press, 1999 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 0684862697.

Book DescriptionThis book introduces the concept of new social risks in welfare state studies and explains their relevance to the comparative understanding of social policy in Europe New social risks arise from shifts in the balance of work and family life as a direct result of the declining importance of the male breadwinner family, changes in озььр the labor market, and the impact of globalization on national policy-making They differ from the old social risks of the standard industrial life-course, whichwere concerned primarily with interruptions to income from sickness, unemployment, retirement, and similar issues New social risks pose new challenges for the welfare policies of European countries, such as the care of children and the elderly, more equal opportunities, the activation of labor markets and the management of needs that arise from welfare state reform, and new opportunities for the coordination of policies at the EU level The book includes detailed and up-to-date case studies of policy development across these areas in the major European countries These studies, written by leading experts, are organized in a comparative framework which is followed throughout the book They highlight the way in which national welfare state regimes and institutional arrangements shape policy-making to meet new social risks A major feature of this volume is the analysis of developments at the EU level and their interaction with national policies The EU has been largely unsuccessful in its interventions inold social risk policy, but appears to have more success in its attempts to coordinate policy for new social risks Experience here may provide lessons for future developments in EU policy-making The comparative framework of the book seeks to inform an understanding of the development of new social risks in Europe and of the particular political opportunities and challenges that result It provides an original analysis of pressing issues at the forefront of European welfare policy debate and locates itat the heart of current theoretical debates.  2005 г ISBN 0199267278.

The term 'brainwashing' was first recorded in 1950, but it is an expression of a much older concept: the forcible and full-scale alteration of a person's beliefs Over the past 50 years the term has crept into popular culture, served as a topic for jokes, frightened the public in media headlines, and slandered innumerable people and institutions озььц It has also been the subject of learned discussion from many angles: history, sociology, psychology, psychotherapy, and marketing Despite this variety, to date there has been one angle missing: any serious reference to real brains Descriptions of how opinions can be changed, whether by persuasion, deceit, or force, have been almost entirely psychological 1 edition Автор Kathleen Taylor.  Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2006 г Мягкая обложка, 336 стр ISBN 0199204780 Язык: Английский.
