The Price of Bread - Jan (university Of California De Vries - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Price of Bread - Jan (university Of California De Vries - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

A prime contemporary concern - how to maintain fair market relations - is addressed through this study of the regulation of bread prices. This was the single most important economic reality of Europe''s daily life in the early modern period. Jan de Vries uses the Dutch Republic as a case study of how the market functioned and how the regulatory system evolved and acted. The ways in which consumer behaviour adapted to these structures, and the state interacted with producers and consumers in the pursuit of its own interests, had major implications for the measurement of living standards in this period. The long-term consequences of the Dutch state''s interventions reveal how capitalist economies, far from being the outcome of unfettered market economics, are inextricably linked with regulatory fiscal regimes. The humble loaf serves as a prism through which to explore major developments in early modern European society and how public market regulation affected private economic life.

The Evolution of the South Korea–United States Alliance - Uk Heo - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Evolution of the South Korea–United States Alliance - Uk Heo - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In contrast to previous studies of the South Korea-United States alliance, Uk Heo and Terence Roehrig analyze the bigger picture, including the history, economics, security, alliance structure, politics, and the future of the alliance. Taking alliance theory as a starting point, the authors argue that the alliance provides an ideal case study to examine how the political development and economic growth of junior partners impact an alliance. As South Korea''s capabilities and ambitions have grown, the alliance has evolved from an asymmetric regional security relationship to an economic partnership with global interests, while China''s rise and North Korea''s nuclear development mean that South Korea remains of strategic importance for American interests in East Asia. This book will be read both as a major contribution to Korean studies and the study of alliance politics and theory.

Liturgy, Ritual, and Secularization in Nineteenth-Century British Literature - Joseph Mcqueen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Liturgy, Ritual, and Secularization in Nineteenth-Century British Literature - Joseph Mcqueen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Liturgy incarnates unseen realities in concrete forms – bread, wine, water, the architectural arrangement of religious buildings. Uncovering a nineteenth-century fascination with liturgy, Joseph McQueen here shows how Romantic and Victorian writers used such forms in their work to invest ordinary material life with spiritual and ethical meaning.

Brexit Time - Kenneth A. (university Of Cambridge) Armstrong - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Brexit Time - Kenneth A. (university Of Cambridge) Armstrong - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The result of the UK referendum in June 2016 on membership of the European Union had immediate repercussions across the UK, the EU and internationally. As the dust begins to settle, attention is now naturally drawn to understanding why this momentous decision came about and how and when the UK will leave the EU. What are the options for the new legal settlements between the UK and the EU? What will happen to our current political landscape within the UK in the time up to and including its exit from the EU? What about legal and political life after Brexit? Within a series of short essays, Brexit Time explores and contextualises each stage of Brexit in turn: pre-referendum; the result; the process of withdrawal; rethinking EU relations; and post-Brexit. During a time of intense speculation and commentary, this book offers an indispensable guide to the key issues surrounding a historic event and its uncertain aftermath.

Bread, Cement, Cactus - Annie Zaidi - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Bread, Cement, Cactus - Annie Zaidi - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this exploration of the meaning of home, Annie Zaidi reflects on the places in India from which she derives her sense of identity. She looks back on the now renamed city of her birth and the impossibility of belonging in the industrial township where she grew up. From her ancestral village, in a region notorious for its gangsters, to the mega-city where she now lives, Zaidi provides a nuanced perspective on forging a sense of belonging as a minority and a migrant in places where other communities consider you an outsider, and of the fragility of home left behind and changed beyond recognition. Zaidi is the 2019/ 2020 winner of the Nine Dots Prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary social issues. This title is also available as Open Access.
