In this novel introduction to modern microeconomic theory, Samuel Bowles returns to the classical economists' interest in the wealth and poverty of nations and people, the workings of the institutions of capitalist economies, and the coevolution of individual preferences and the structures of markets, firms, and other institutions. Using recent advances in evolutionary game theory, contract theory, behavioral experiments, and the modeling of dynamic processes, he develops a theory of how economic institutions shape individual behavior, and how institutions evolve due to individual actions, technological change, and chance events. Topics addressed include institutional innovation, social pref...
Media Activism is the first collection of its kind to explore the political economy of social movements, the aesthetic styles and cultural forms of mediated political expressions, and the patterns of longer-term historical change in the forms and tactics of activism. From memes to zines, hacktivism to artivism, this book considers activist practices involving both older kinds of media alongside newer digital, social, and network-based forms. The book provides fascinating case studies of activists using media to make political interventions in different historical periods and at local, national, and global levels.
We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the EAI Urb-IoT 2021. The theme of the 2021 EAI Urb-IoT International Conference was "Future Technologies Inspired by AI and IoT Technologies: A Series of More Advanced and More Useful AI Applications". The proceedings include 27 full papers. The conference tracks were: Track 1 - Handwriting Recognition Based on Deep Learning; Track 2 - Application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of smart education; Track 3 - Algorithm Research of Machine Vision; Track 4 - Development of asset management system based on artificial intelligence technology; Track 5 - Research on Intelligent Water Conservancy System Using Artificial Intelligence Algorithm; Track 6 - Application of Internet of Things Technology in Engineering. We firmly believe that the 2021 EAI Urb-IoT International Conference provided a great forum for all researchers, developers and practitioners. We also expect future 2021 EAI Urb-IoT International Conferences to be equally successful.
How can we better relate and respond to the political times we inhabit? Temporal relationships play a central role in the questions at the heart of global politics, but political commentators and observers focus almost exclusively on the past as a means of predicting and preparing for the future. Christopher McIntosh argues that, although past events are meaningful for our collective future, the present remains vitally important. McIntosh emphasises the importance of the present as a conceptual resource and analytical category for thinking about international politics. The present, he suggests, places an orientation toward difference and a recognition of the human limits of understanding alongside an emphasis on process and change. This book will shift current thinking about prediction and better enable the use of knowledge about international politics to meaningfully and positively intervene in present-day concerns.
