Inequality and Finance in Macrodynamics
This contributed volume combines approaches of the current inequality debate with aspects of finance based on profound macroeconomic model analyses. Research on inequality has had a long tradition in economics. With the financial crisis from 2007, not only output decreased tremendously, but also inequality has risen since then. The book presents selected contributions of a workshop held at Bielefeld University in 2016 and features additional papers written by experts in the field. A mixture of established researchers and young scholars presents both theoretical and empirical frameworks to analyze the subject.
L'Articolo 1 - N. 1
L'Articolo 1 è la rivista curata dalla Fondazione Pietro Nenni, l'Istituto di studi e ricerca politica, storica e sociale nato nel 1985 e riconosciuto con decreto dal Presidente della Repubblica l'anno successivo. Ricco di fotografie d'archivio e di immagini di repertorio, e impreziosito dagli articoli redatti dalle penne più prestigiose del panorama sindacale e politico, la rivista analizza le questioni relative alle dinamiche lavorative del nostro Paese con occhio critico e sorprendente capacità di sintesi. In questo numero, vengono evidenziati gli scenari che si sono spalancati dopo la vittoria presidenziale di Donald Trump in America e quelli che interessano il nostro Paese, dopo la n...
Rural Gender Relations
This exciting new book brings together renowned international scholars to explore the gender effects of the current transformation of agriculture and rural life. It presents a comparative perspective on key research themes of rural gender relations, with each section beginning with a comprehensive overview. Five themes are addressed: developments in rural gender theory and research methodology; changes in farm households; patterns of rural migration; the impact of national and international policies; and the construction of gender identities as a result of rural changes. Contributors include scholars from Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Feminisms and Ruralities
Feminist concern with difference has rarely extended to rurality even if it is now widely recognized that experiences of inequality depend on intersections of several identities in each individual life. This lack of concern may reflect the urban background of the majority of feminist academics or at least their urban positionality once in the academy. It may equivalently be that feminists have been influenced by stereotypes of rural women as traditional and reactionary, and thus seen them as unlikely exponents of gender equality, and an unfruitful focus for scholarly energies. Perhaps the problem is a broader one, that is, reflective of the much documented, but still apparent unwillingness of many feminists to recognize and address difference in any of its manifestations. Regardless, even with the recent interest in intersectionality which has necessarily renewed and reenergized debates in feminism about diversity and inclusion, the question of how women are differently positioned because of their non-metropolitan location has remained largely overlooked.
Part-time Paradox
The dramatic expansion of part-time employment may revolutionize not only the nature of work but also the connection between work and gender. This book is intended as a detailed, accessible introduction to the paradox of part-time work and to power. The authors develop both a macro- and micro-perspective and explore both theoretical and empirical analyses of the issue. Part-time work is located in terms of the general history of women's employment and national as well as international profiles are provided. The complexities and contradictions of women's employment and national, as well as international profiles are provided.
