The Social Economy
Critically examining economic developments within the last sixty years, this book argues that a crisis in global social reproduction is altering existing understandings of work, labour and the economy. The author of this original volume, Hasmet M. Uluorta, contends that the crisis in the global economy is triggering a potential paradigm shift from one defined under the rubric of Employment to an alternative theorized as Work. Discussing the Employment paradigm that formed the dominant mode of development after the Second World War through to the 1970s, the author considers the economic and political forces that resulted in its eventual decline. Focusing on already existing practices of organ...

Contributions to Insurance Economics
For a number of years, I have been teaching and doing research in the economics of uncertainty, information, and insurance. Although it is now possible to find textbooks and books of essays on uncertainty and in formation in economics and finance for graduate students and researchers, there is no equivalent material that covers advanced research in insurance. The purpose of this book is to fill this gap in literature. It provides original surveys and essays in the field of insurance economics. The contributions offer basic reference, new material, and teaching supple ments to graduate students and researchers in economics, finance, and insurance. It represents a complement to the book of readings entitled Foundations of Insurance Economics - Readings in Economics and Finance, recently published by the S.S. Huebner Foundation of Insurance Education. In that book, the editors (G. Dionne and S. Harrington) disseminate key papers in the literature and publish an original survey of major contributions in the field.
Automobile Insurance: Road Safety, New Drivers, Risks, Insurance Fraud and Regulation
Motor vehicle accidents are still a leading cause of death, even if the trend has somewhat declined over the past 20 years. Indeed, motor vehicle accidents are a significant cause of death in comparison with air and space transport accidents, homicides and even HIV infections, causes which are more often highlighted in the media. As shown in this book, motor vehicle accidents are particularly damaging to very young drivers. The assessment of driving risks is a common concern for road transportation safety and the automobile insurance industry. In both cases, there is an awareness of the great losses resulting from the deaths, injuries and property damage caused by traffic accidents. Research...
Labor in Cross-cultural Perspective

Contributors offer a range of case studies illustrating labor processes in both western and nonwestern societies. Individual sections include discussions on household labor, firms and corporatations, and state and transnational conditions. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars, students, and interested readers of international economics, anthropology, development issues, labor studies, and sociology.
American Tyranny
2013 marks the 100th anniversary of our federal income tax enacted in 1913. This book is based on sound legal research, court records, compelling exhibits and actual litigation by the author. To understand Our Tax-Apocalypse, the reader will discover that the federal income tax collected today is NOT the federal income tax enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1913 or defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916. Driven by boundless arrogance, this special unauthorized income tax is possibly the root cause for the destruction of our freedom and our economy. Th e reader will also learn that there is a tangible remedy on the horizon IF the will of Th e People so chooses. Th e remedy is a simpler tax called Th e FairTax and its designed to emancipate our citizens from acts of federal peonage and restore the prosperity of our economy so that Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are once again achievable goals for our future generations to come. When the government fears the people, there is liberty; when the people fear the government, there is tyranny. -Thomas Jefferson Thank you Michael Sawukaytis- Author
Medical Malpractice on Trial
Medical malpractice has been at the center of recurring tort crises for the last quarter-century. In 1960, expenditures on medical liability insurance in the United States amounted to about $60 million. In 1988, the figure topped $7 billion. Physicians have responded not simply with expensive methods of "defensive medicine" but also with successful pressure upon state legislatures to cut back on the tort rights of seriously injured patients. Various reforms have been proposed to deal with the successive crises, but so far none have proved to be effective and fair. In this landmark book, Paul Weiler argues for a two-part approach to the medical malpractice crisis. First, he proposes a thoroug...
