The Politics of Welfare in the Global South
This book serves as a comprehensive reference for conducting political analyses of emerging welfare systems in the Global South.

The authors show that privatization can lead to more efficient schooling, but it can also create a trade-off between efficiency and equity or inclusion. The book presents a range of perspectives on the impact of privatization, including structural, ethical, and subjective effects. The book also covers a range of countries and regions, including both developed and developing countries. This helps readers understand how privatization is playing out in different contexts around the world.
Proportionality Manifesto
This Proportionalist Manifesto is a PROPOSAL for a new way of life beyond both capitalism and socialism. The existing political and economic systems no longer respond to postmodern, global and environmental needs of human and other beings. Proportionalism is based on the trialectics/triadicity existing in nature, in quarks "triplets", in quantum physics, in religions, and in systems theory. Its proposal aims at human dignity with guarantees of a minimum income threshold and a maximum limit of destructive wealth accumulation, for the sake of peace and good life for all with mutual co-responsibility.
