Holding the Shop Together
Since the onset of the Great Recession, Germany’s economy has been praised for its superior performance, which has been reminiscent of the “economic miracle” of the 1950s and 1960s. Such acclaim is surprising because Germany’s economic institutions were widely dismissed as faulty just a decade ago. In Holding the Shop Together, Stephen J. Silvia examines the oscillations of the German economy across the entire postwar period through one of its most important components: the industrial relations system. As Silvia shows in this wide-ranging and deeply informed account, the industrial relations system is strongest where the German economy is strongest and is responsible for many of the ...

Postindustrial Germany
This book is about the state of the German model of capitalism today. It is the first book to offer an integrated analysis of the political economy of unified Germany rather than dealing with east and west as separate entities. It challenges the standard view that Germany is lagging behind other capitalist states in the transition to a postindustrial economy, and looks in detail at the expansion of the service sector, the transformation of the industrial sector and the development of the knowledge economy in unified Germany. The book finds that Germany is indeed becoming postindustrial, but that it is not developing in any single direction. Rather, the research outlined in this book suggests that some regions perform well in services or the production of knowledge while others have successfully transformed industrial production. This variation, it is argued, is the consequence of unification as well as older economic traditions which pre-date the industrial revolution.
The Immaterial
We live in a world where material products have increasingly become vehicles for intangible symbolic and aesthetic messages. A very sizeable marketing and advertising industry produces only images and symbols---the immaterial dimension that `sells' material commodities. The economic boom that accelerated in the 1990s and crashed so spectacularly in 2008 was based largely on immaterial consumption, as capitalism tried to overcome the crisis of the Fordist regime by throwing itself into the new, so-called knowledge economy. --
Handbook of Research on Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship
Professor Dana and his colleagues have carefully and successfully put together a collection of chapters on ethnic minority entrepreneurship from all parts of the world. The book comprises eight parts and 49 chapters. Undoubtedly, given the massive size and content of a 835-page book, it is fair to ask, is it value for money? The answer is unequivocally yes! A further comment on the content of the book should probably reassure potential readers and buyers of the book. . . This collection is undoubtedly rich, creative and varied in many respects. Therefore, it will be of great benefit to researchers and scholars alike. . . I will strongly recommend this book to researchers, students, teachers ...
Precarious Progressivism
I then use time series regression methods to evaluate three sources of political neoliberalism since 1973: economic conditions, Anglo-liberal influences and left-right political competition. I find that Anglo-liberal influences are important, economic factors have surprisingly low explanatory value, and the political power of the center-right has a negative effect on center-left neoliberalism. I propose that Anglo neoliberalism shapes European politics directly via economic relations, and indirectly via American 'hyperpuissance' and the internationalized economics profession. Finally, the study examines elites' struggle over the social in the EU political field. Historicizing this struggle w...
Spitzenpositionen für Spitzenleistungen?
Olga Hördt zeigt, wie trotz verbesserter Ausbildungssituation, gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen, institutionalisierter Chancengleichheitspolitik und formalisierter Personal- und Managementauswahlverfahren geschlechtsspezifische Gestaltungsspielräume entstehen und zu subtilen Formen von Ungleichheit beitragen. Es wird deutlich, dass Frauen der Weg ins Management nicht grundsätzlich versperrt ist, dass sie aber Spitzenleistungen erbringen müssen, während Männer durch informelle Beziehungen in höhere Positionen aufsteigen.
