This book studies nineteenth-century American individualism and its relationship to the simultaneous rise of the market economy as articulated in the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and William Graham Sumner. The argument of the book is that these thinkers offer distinct visions of individualism that reflect their respective understandings of the market, and provide thoughtful and insightful perspectives upon the promise and peril of this economic and social order. Looking back to Emerson, Thoreau, and Sumner furnishes valuable insights about the history of American political and social thought, as well as about the complexity of one of the most basic and prevalent relationships of modern life: that between the individual and the institutional complex of the market.

The essential premise of critical social theory is that contemporary society is neither democratic nor free, but that modern global capitalism creates a citizenry satiated with consumer goods, unaware of alternative ways of living. In the public sector, critical theory suggests that governing systems are influenced, if not controlled, by the wealthy and powerful, leaving public professionals to decide whether to serve those interests or the interests of a broader public. This book provides a framework for the application of critical social theory in public administration. Its goal is to encourage awareness among public administration scholars and practitioners of social conditions that tend to shape and constrain scholarship, practice, teaching, and social change. At a time when concern for public interest and a civil society have largely been displaced by the goals of economic efficiency and the "New Public Management," Critical Social Theory in Public Administration presents a viable alternative that incorporates the latest views of postmodern thinking with the central elements of critical social theory.
O livro A estética da deficiência lança um novo olhar acerca da percepção das pessoas com deficiência sobre o ambiente de trabalho, a partir da teoria da estética organizacional. Considerar o conhecimento sensorial, que geralmente é inconsciente, tácito e desinteressado, significa buscar, no discurso "não dito", nas expressões não vistas e no sentimento reservado, aquilo que as pessoas com deficiência carregam de sua experiência no ambiente organizacional. Tendo em vista que as pessoas com deficiência ainda enfrentam problemas de adequações das empresas com sua inserção, isso porque, além da própria questão de inclusão, recaem, ainda sobre as organizações, falta de preparo e condições para adequar sua estrutura e atender de maneira pertinente tais demandas.
