Finance Reconsidered
This volume argues the need for a radical break with the methodological individualism that dominates economics, management and finance, asking 'How should we (re)define the concept of value?' and serving as a stepping stone for the rethinking of academic finance.
Finance as Commons
We live in a world where money is the medium underpinning the circulation of goods and services. Without money it is impossible if not to survive at least to have access to basic products, including cultural or educational ones. From this perspective, Gaël Giraud proposes to analyse finance based on two of its functions -- liquidity and credit. Finance as Commons could be organised on the basis of these two qualities of money, one of which makes it possible to free oneself from debt or to make a purchase when one so wishes, and the other authorises one to plan for the future or face up to uncertainties when liquidity is lacking. Like any other "Commons", "Finance as Commons" is a resource to which access is relatively easy (low exclusion of "consumers/users") but where rivalry is high (the consumption of one unit reduces the amount available for others). At the same time, this implies reflecting on one's access, thinking about its renewal. The latter can only be guaranteed by the capacity to save that those involved can provide following mobilisation of the financial resource; in other words, loans produce deposits.
Social Impact Finance
As a result of the recent financial crisis, new ways of doing finance have developed, creating alternatives to the regular financial system. This book explores non-conventional banking and financing mechanisms in detail, with case studies and examples in which these alternative methods have succeeded.
Conversations And Empirical Evidence In Microfinance
Microfinance is regarded as a lynchpin in private sector solutions to a host of complex social challenges, from child labor, education, and women's rights, through to sustainable local economic development. The principle of self-help through capital accumulation in the US inner city looks similar to that of a Peruvian slum, and as practice has grown, so has the research. Conversations and Empirical Evidence in Microfinance is a curated conversation from a comprehensive review of the published literature, and is supported by theory and evidence from a wide range of disciplines such as philosophy, finance, public policy, and entrepreneurship.
Fame and Fandom
"Celebrities depend upon fans to sustain their popularity and livelihood, and fans are happy to oblige. With social media, they can follow their favorite (or least favorite) celebrities' every move, and get glimpses into their lives, homes, and behind-the-scenes work. Fans interact with celebrities now more than ever, and often feel that they have a claim on their time, attention, and accountability. In Fame and Fandom: Functioning On and Offline, contributors examine this tumultuous dynamic, and bring together celebrity studies and fan studies like never before. This volume explores the intersections between fan cultures, communities and practices around the globe; as well as the formation ...
Entrepreneurship And Smes In The Euro-zone: Towards A Theory Of Symbiotic Entrepreneurship
The European Charter for Small Enterprises recognises that small firms are the backbone of the European economy. Yet books on the topic are few. An author requires courage to cover such a large set of different views, perceptions and realities about entrepreneurship, even within the limited area of the Euro-zone.Léo-Paul Dana, with a track record in researching and writing about entrepreneurship, puts together an ambitious comparison of 12 European countries: an introduction with geographic, demographic, and historical overviews, a focus on the economy, entrepreneurship and small business sector and a view on the future. It serves as a valuable overview of self-employment in the Euro-zone, as well as a guide to entrepreneurship./a
Finance as a Common Understood as Ideal-Type for Emancipation
We use an ideal-type approach to analyse 'interstices' in which emancipation could appear. The question is how use value can escape from the domination of exchange value, and how could we promote another kind of private property freed from capital. In particular we critique the assimilation of the enterprise to the company. We refer to the research based on the 'commons' to open new proposals, in particular one concerning finance as a commons.
Medieval and Early Modern Representations of Authority in Scotland and the British Isles
What use is it to be given authority over men and lands if others do not know about it? Furthermore, what use is that authority if those who know about it do not respect it or recognise its jurisdiction? And what strategies and 'language' -written and spoken, visual and auditory, material, cultural and political - did those in authority throughout the medieval and early modern era use to project and make known their power? These questions have been crucial since regulations for governance entered society and are found at the core of this volume. In order to address these issues from an historical perspective, this collection of essays considers representations of authority made by a cross-se...
