The Solidarity Solution by Kristi A. Olson Pdf

"As both the leftist political philosopher G.A. Cohen and the conservative economist Milton Friedman have pointed out, equal income is unfair to the hardworking. The ideal tax system-the one used to evaluate actual tax systems-would thus adjust taxation and redistribution for differential labor burdens. Measuring labor burdens, however, is no easy task. Some philosophers and economists attempt to sidestep the measurement problem by invoking envy-freeness. A distribution is envy-free when no one prefers someone else's bundle of goods (or bads) to her own. Yet, eliminating envy in the labor market is not always possible, and minimizing envy when it cannot be eliminated is not always fair. The Solidarity Solution provides an answer: fair labor-income bundles are those that could be justified to free and equal individuals. Part one develops the solidarity solution by showing how rigorous distributive implications can be derived from a relational ideal. Part two uses the solidarity solution to critique the competing theories of fair income distributions of Ronald Dworkin, Philippe Van Parijs, and Marc Fleurbaey. Finally, part three identifies implications for the gender wage gap and taxation"--

A History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe by Balázs Trencsenyi,Michal Kopeček,Luka Lisjak Gabrijelčič,Maria Falina,Mónika Baár Pdf

A History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe is a synthetic work, authored by an international team of researchers, covering twenty national cultures and 250 years. It goes beyond the conventional nation-centered narratives and presents a novel vision especially sensitive to the cross-cultural entanglement of political ideas and discourses. Its principal aim is to make these cultures available for the global 'market of ideas' and revisit some of the basic assumptions about the history of modern political thought, and modernity as such. The present volume is the final part of the project, following Volume I: Negotiating Modernity in the 'Long Nineteenth Century', and Volume II, Part I: Negotiating Modernity in the 'Short Twentieth Century' (1918-1968) (OUP, 2018). Its starting point is the defeat of the vision of 'socialism with a human face' in 1968 and the political discourses produced by the various 'consolidation' or 'normalization' regimes. It continues with mapping the exile communities' and domestic dissidents' critical engagement with the local democratic and anti-democratic traditions as well as with global trends. Rather than achieving the coveted 'end of history', however, the liberal democratic order created in East Central Europe after 1989 became increasingly contested from left and right alike. Thus, instead of a comfortable conclusion pointing to the European integration of most of these countries, the book closes with a reflection on the fragility of democracy in this part of the world and beyond.

Ironies of Solidarity by Erik Bähre Pdf

Set in one of the world's most unequal and violent places, this ethnographic study reveals how insurance companies discovered a vast market of predominantly poor African clients. After apartheid ended in 1994, South Africa became a 'testing ground' for new insurance products, new marketing techniques and pioneering administrative models with a potentially global market. Drawing on Rorty's notion of irony for understanding how the contradictions inherent to solidarity affect inequality and conflict as well as drawing on a vast array of case studies, Ironies of Solidarity examines how both Africans enjoy the freedoms that they have gained in financial terms and how the onset of democracy effected the risks faced in everyday life. Bähre examines the ways in which policies are sold and claims are handled, offering a detailed analysis of South Africa's insurance sector.

Perspectives on Igwebuike Philosophy: by Chiugo C. Kanu Ph.D,Kanayo L. Nwadialor Ph.D,Philip Adah Idachaba PhD Pdf

The study of African philosophy, like all great philosophical enquiries around the world, is fraught with the wrecks of words, wrenched from their original meaning, widened or narrowed, and forced into a bewildering variety of vessels that chum their ways in seas of semantic confusion. African philosophical studies has acquired and added to the many philosophical verbal transmogrifications that came originally from the Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria. In its turn, it has produced its own eccentric philosophical etymology, of which, perhaps the most striking example is Igwebuike philosophy. A reflection on Igwebuike philosophy reveals that it is a product of a meticulous and critical study of African philosophy. It is in this light that the scrupulous researcher would dissect the profound thinker behind the Igwebuike philosophy. In this book, scholars of different hues and academic endeavours have made excursus into the origin, originator, meaning and relevance of Igwebuike philosophy to contemporary African philosophical scholarship and African societies. Research shows that the brain behind Igwebuike philosophy that is gradually becoming a major part of African philosophical engagement is incontestably Prof Ikechukwu Anthony Kanu, O.S.A. Igwebuike itself is a philosophical principle that is drawn from African primordial practice of solidarity and complementarity; the works of professional African philosophers, African proverbs, African folk tales, African mythology, African symbols, African names and African songs. — Kanayo L. Nwadialor, Ph.D Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka

Trial Courts as Organizations by Brian J Ostrom Pdf

"The authors examine how courts operate, what characteristics they may display, and how they function as a unit to preserve judicial independence, strengthen organizational leadership, and influence court performance. By using a systematic analysis of alternative values on how work is done, they identify four different types of institutional cultures. Each is shown to have its own strengths and weaknesses in achieving such goals as timely case resolution, access to court services, and procedural justice. The authors conclude by proposing a "mosaic" that reflects a mix of practices that could help courts operate most effectively in the future."--BOOK JACKET.

Liberal Solidarity by Hodgson, Geoffrey M. Pdf

The twenty-first century has seen major challenges to freedom and democracy. Authoritarianism is on the rise and democracy is in retreat. Some promote individualism and markets as the solution to almost every problem. On the other side there are those who champion collectivism and full public ownership. Neither side is convincing. Unrestrained capitalism has exacerbated inequality. Socialism in practice has ended democracy. Effective defenders of liberty and human flourishing must find a different course. This book argues for a pragmatic, social democratic liberalism that avoids unrealistic extremes and tackles major problems such as inequality and climate change.

Beautiful Solutions by Eli Feghali,Rachel Plattus,Nathan Schneider,Elandria Williams Pdf

Beautiful Solutions brings together some of the world's most innovative community leaders to share examples of a new economy under construction. Many of those examples are already happening in your community. Look around. Can you find a credit union? A food cooperative? A community garden? What about a mutual aid project? The chances are that you or someone in your family is already involved in a beautiful solution! While these examples may seem small at first sight, they don't have to be. When they are connected to each other or given the resources they need to grow, the solutions that already exist in our communities can be the starting point for collective transformation. This time of turmoil is also a time of great opportunity. As the cracks in the system get bigger, more and more people are open to ideas that have the power to change everything. Beautiful Solutions is a collaborative project that highlights many interlocking pieces of a complex puzzle. It helps us see where pieces are missing and allows us to get closer to putting the whole thing together. Featuring concrete examples from every area of our economy--from food and finance to energy and education--Beautiful Solutions demonstrates that another, better world is already under construction. This book is not a work of theory or polemic so much as a starting point for practical politics. What sets it apart is the sheer breadth of examples and voices it brings together, all in an accessible, teachable format aimed at emerging activists. Rather than focusing on the debates that so often divide people today, Beautiful Solutions focuses on radical, practical projects that can become part of a global effort that transforms economic and political life at every level. Beautiful Solutions is also part of the broader family of Beautiful Trouble books, online toolkit, trainings and resources--thereby connecting the practice of resistance of the earlier books to visions of the world we are working toward.

We Who Are Dark by Tommie Shelby Pdf

We Who Are Dark provides the first extended philosophical defense of black political solidarity. Tommie Shelby argues that we can reject a biological idea of race and agree with many criticisms of identity politics yet still view black political solidarity as a needed emancipatory tool. In developing his defense of black solidarity, he draws on the history of black political thought, focusing on the canonical figures of Martin R. Delany and W. E. B. Du Bois.
