Political Economy as Theodicy: Progress, Suffering and Denial proposes that political economics operates within a theological symbolic order that dictates modern sociopolitical and economic life as a whole. This book revisits the work of key figures in the history of political economy and economic thought – primarily Adam Smith, Bernard Mandeville, David Hume, Thomas Malthus, W. Stanley Jevons, Alfred Marshall and John Bates Clark. Theodicy is a constitutive element of an international political economy (IPE) that often disavows moral evil, while it conversely redefines such evil as an actual good within economic life. Beginning with the Enlightenment thinkers and continuing through to the modern neoclasscial economists, this book traces the initial emergence of a natural theological basis for political economic thinking and concludes with a discussion of its application in modern IPE. Relying upon a postcolonial framework, the author seeks to provincialize economics, creating space for alternative modes of being and doing. This book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of IPE, political theology, international relations and postcolonial studies.

The album’s thirty-two folios feature artworks th...
Dry meets Hatchet in this thrilling tale of survival following a teen girl who must lead her friends across the country to the safety of her estranged father’s survivalist compound after a mass power failure leaves the country in chaos. When seventeen-year-old Zara escaped her father’s backwoods survivalist compound five years ago, she traded crossbows and skinning hides for electricity and video games…and tried to forget the tragedy that drove her away. Until a malware attack on the United States electrical grids cuts off the entire country’s power. In the wake of the disaster and the chaos that ensues, Zara is forced to call upon skills she thought she’d never use again—and her best bet to survive is to go back to the home she left behind. Drawing upon a resilience she didn’t know she had, Zara leads a growing group of friends on an epic journey across a crumbling country back to her father’s compound, where their only hope for salvation lies. But with every step she takes, Zara wonders if she truly has what it takes to face her father and the secrets of her past, or if she’d be better off hiding in the dark.
Luen itse iltaisin tekstejä, jotka saavat ajatukseni pois päivän murheista. Jos yöllä herään enkä saa unta, luen jotain rauhoittaakseni ajatukseni. Tämän kirjan toivon palvelevan toisia siinä. Tätä kirjaa ei pidä arvioida siltä pohjalta, miten taiteellinen se on tai onko siinä välimerkit juuri oikeilla paikoilla. Haluan ainoastaan, että tarina vie mukanaan. Saa hymyn nousemaan huulille tai saa ajatuksen siitä, että noin minäkin olen kokenut tai voihan sen noinkin ajatella. Tekstit ovat osin fiktiota ja osin faktaa..
Evelyn Ricott had every reason to be proud of her achievements in life. From a run down pit village to Professor of Cryptology at Scotland’s most prestigious university was a long road. Success and the status and wealth it brought her had been hard earned so Evelyn didn’t react kindly when the threat of losing it all came along. In an age when every publicity hungry celebrity postures about breaking the internet Evelyn’s work on artificial intelligence has the potential to do just that, if it came into the wrong hands. So rumours of a tie in to a notorious crime syndicate are enough to start a train of events that spirals her life into chaos. Not helped by the presence of Alec Traquair...
