Bhambra Globalization is widely viewed as a current condition of the world, but there is little engagement with how this changes the way we understand it. The Theory for a Global Age series addresses the impact of globalization on the social sciences and humanities. Each title will focus on a particular theoretical issue or topic of empirical controversy and debate, addressing theory in a more global and interconnected manner. With contributions from scholars across the globe, the series will explore different perspectives to examine globalization from a global viewpoint. True to its global character, the Theory for a Global Age series will be available for online access worldwide via Creative Commons licensing, aiming to stimulate wide debate within academia and beyond.

While, as Narayan argues, Dewey did not himself make a sustained argument for global democracy, a powerful idea of global democracy can be constructed from his philosophical and sociological writings. In this way, in John Dewey: The Global Public and Its Problems, Narayan expertly demonstrates the continuing relevance of John Dewey’s thought for the consideration of contemporary problems of modern sovereignty and questions of political and democratic legitimacy in a global age. Narayan starts with a discussion of Dewey’s understanding of democracy as a creative process of reform and renewal. This discussion is located in terms of examining the global conditions of ‘the Great Society’ and the global institutions and publics that are part of its functioning at the larger scale. While the focus is strongly on ‘the global’, there is also consideration of the national contexts which dominate in the debates and political practices of democracy. As Narayan sets out, democracy, for Dewey, had to be articulated both ‘at home’ and ‘abroad’. In the latter sections of the book, Narayan pays due attention to the ideas of global justice and equality that are often neglected aspects of Dewey’s thought and makes a robust argument for egalitarian democracy on a global scale. The book is an excellent illustration of one of the motivating aspects of the Theory for a Global Age series, namely, a concern to reconsider existing understandings of the global such that we might better understand our contemporary global condition. Dewey’s call to renew and refresh our thinking in light of changes is nicely exemplified by Narayan’s own rethinking of Dewey’s thought for our contemporary times. Gurminder K. Bhambra John Narayan - 9781526101020 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 09/30/2021 02:28:45PM via free access Acknowledgements Although the intellectual process is often a lonely existence, it is undoubtedly not a sole endeavour. Indeed, without the help of others it would be nigh on impossible. I wish to thank the following for their help during the formation of this piece. To my wonderful wife, Rosie Narayan, whose intellect and unconditional love and support have always been a place where I could take refuge or draw strength from whenever the books have started to hit back! This would not have been possible without you. I must also mention the life form who I spend the majority of my time with during the day, our family dog, Nina, who has spent most days sleeping in her basket under my desk as I edited the manuscript, and whose daily walks have provided the thinking space needed to get over any bump in the road along the way. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to: The Economic and Social Research Council for funding the doctoral study upon which this work is based and the University of Nottingham for providing the institutional support to complete my doctorate. Professor John Holmwood for his intellectual companionship and general tolerance of my unabashed trait of disagreeing with him on the principle that he was my PhD supervisor! Thank you for the support through the years and the hard work that you have put into my own work. Professor Gurminder K. Bhambra whose support for this project is only outweighed by the support she has given to my most recent intellectual endeavours. Thank you for helping me wade through the murky waters of academia! My wonderful friends: Ross and Sian Abbinnett, Kehinde and Nicole Andrews, Martin Culliney, Ruairi Hughes, Uzo and Heidi Ibechukwu and Christopher and Louise Twardowski. It is a privilege to count on you as friends. I love you all!

You all promise hope to a desperate world. A special thank you must be sent to the Narayan clan for their support of my intellectual endeavours down the years. Also to the Browns and Nicksons, especially Lorna and Joe, for welcoming me into their family. And I must mention the Dass family in Fiji, whose reconnection has brought extra happiness to the writing process. A special thanks must also be reserved for Rosie’s mum, Louise Brown, and Tilly the dog. A lot of this work was initially conceived at Louise’s house during my PhD and she even took to correcting the manuscript’s many spelling mistakes.

But Mr. Subramanian is a first-class economist who uses his book to discuss provocatively U.S.-Chinese relations and the nature of economic power.” —Wall Street Journal “If you want to understand the true magnitude of the shift in economic power that is currently changing the world, Eclipse is the book to read-- provocative, well argued and elegantly written.” —Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lords of Finance “Defying conventional wisdom, Eclipse not just vividly imagines, but provides a plausible scenario for, the replacement of the United States by China as the world's dominant economic power. It persuasively underlines the need for Washington to get its act together.” —Francis Fukuyama, Senior Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University and author of The End of History and The Origins of Political Order “Eclipse is an extremely well written and thought provoking book. It must be read for a refreshing and deep analysis of what may lie ahead." —Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Executive, PIMCO and award winning author of When Markets Collide “Eclipse is a fascinating read. Controversial, but meant to be, it has the potential to set the terms of our ongoing discussion on what is perhaps the hottest issue in the global economy—China’s role.

  • A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read
    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in. They help the reader obtain something not included in the typical three-year tour of the law school classroom—a sense of the context of our practice. Although the typical law school curriculum places an appropriately heavy emphasis on theory and doctrine, the importance of a solid grounding in context should not be underestimated. The best business lawyers provide not only legal analysis and deal execution. We offer wisdom and counsel. When we cast ourselves in the role of technocrats, as Ronald Gilson would have us do, we allow our advice to be defined downward and ultimately commoditized.1 Yet the best of us strive to be much more than legal engineers, and our advice much more than a mere commodity. When we master context, we rise to the level of counselors—purveyors of judgment, caution and insight. The question, then, for young attorneys or those who lack experience in a particular field is how best to attain the prudence and judgment that are the promise of our profession. For some, insight is gained through youthful immersion in a family business or other enterprise or experience.

Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page. Preview — Lords the Great Depression Finance by Liaquat Ahamed. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions taken by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades. After the First World War, these central bankers attempted to reconstruct the world of international finance. Despite their differences, Lords of Finance: 1929 were united by a common fear—that the greatest threat to capitalism was inflation— and by a common vision that the solution was to turn back the clock and return the world to the gold standard. For a brief period in the mids they appeared to have succeeded. But beneath the veneer of boom-town prosperity, cracks started to appear in the financial system. The gold standard that all had believed would provide an umbrella of stability proved to be a straitjacket, and the world economy began that terrible downward spiral known as the Great Depression.

  • Central Bank Activism Duke Law Journal, Vol
    Central Bank Activism Duke Law Journal, Vol. 71: __ (forthcoming) Christina Parajon Skinner † ABSTRACT—Today, the Federal Reserve is at a critical juncture in its evolution. Unlike any prior period in U.S. history, the Fed now faces increasing demands to expand its policy objectives to tackle a wide range of social and political problems—including climate change, income and racial inequality, and foreign and small business aid. This Article develops a framework for recognizing, and identifying the problems with, “central bank activism.” It refers to central bank activism as situations in which immediate public policy problems push central banks to aggrandize their power beyond the text and purpose of their legal mandates, which Congress has established. To illustrate, the Article provides in-depth exploration of both contemporary and historic episodes of central bank activism, thus clarifying the indicia of central bank activism and drawing out the lessons that past episodes should teach us going forward. The Article urges that, while activism may be expedient in the near term, there are long-term social costs. Activism undermines the legitimacy of central bank authority, erodes its political independence, and ultimately renders a weaker central bank. In the end, the Article issues an urgent call to resist the allure of activism. And it places front and center the need for vibrant public discourse on the role of a central bank in American political and economic life today. © 2021 Christina Parajon Skinner. Draft 2021-05-27 20:46. † Assistant Professor, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
