Carl Von Siemens
The first English edition of the acclaimed biography of German industrialist Carl von Siemens "Nature seems to have created me to undertake great things, for to this day, wherever I have gone, great things have always come about." Werner, Wilhelm, and Carl von Siemens. Three brothers who, in the middle of the 19th century, succeeded in building a global business empire out of a small telegraph company in Berlin. Martin Lutz has written the first ever biography of the youngest of the three, simultaneously providing a vivid history of the Siemens brand itself, a name which owes its reputation today to these early pioneers of globalization.
Reassessing the Moral Economy
This book examines the concept of moral economy originally established by E.P. Thompson, focusing on the impact of religious norms on economic practice. With each chapter discussing a different empirical case study, the interrelations of the economy and religion are explored from antiquity through to the 20th century. The long-term trajectory and comparative perspective allows for moral economy to be seen in relation to ancient Greek commerce, medieval pawn-broking, Christian and Jewish economic ethics, urban social politics during the Plague, the Jesuit mission in Paraguay, the Ottoman Empire, religion in modern American capitalism, and Catholic attitudes toward taxation. This book aims to provide insight into how moral thinking about the economy and economic practice has evolved from a long historic perspective. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic history and cultural economics.

In Choked, Beth Gardiner travels the world to tell the story of this modern-day plague, taking readers from the halls of power in Washington and the diesel-fogged London streets she walks with her daughter to Poland’s coal heartland and India’s gasping capital. In a gripping narrative that’s a...
