The IMF, the WTO & the Politics of Economic Surveillance

The IMF, the WTO & the Politics of Economic Surveillance
Martin S. Edwards, "The IMF, the WTO & the Politics of Economic Surveillance "
English | ISBN: 0415658160 | 2018 | 160 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) practice periodic surveillance of members to ensure that countries are adopting appropriate economic policies. Despite the importance of these procedures, they remain understudied by scholars. The global economic crisis has tested both organizations and brought surveillance to the forefront of policy debates. Understanding how surveillance works, then, contributes to both theoretical and policy concerns.

The Gnostics Myth, Ritual, and Diversity in Early Christianity

The Gnostics Myth, Ritual, and Diversity in Early Christianity
David Brakke, "The Gnostics: Myth, Ritual, and Diversity in Early Christianity"
English | ISBN: 0674066030 | 2012 | 180 pages | PDF | 551 KB
Who were the Gnostics? And how did the Gnostic movement influence the development of Christianity in antiquity? Is it true that the Church rejected Gnosticism? This book offers an illuminating discussion of recent scholarly debates over the concept of "Gnosticism" and the nature of early Christian diversity. Acknowledging that the category "Gnosticism" is flawed and must be reformed, David Brakke argues for a more careful approach to gathering evidence for the ancient Christian movement known as the Gnostic school of thought. He shows how Gnostic myth and ritual addressed basic human concerns about alienation and meaning, offered a message of salvation in Jesus, and provided a way for people to regain knowledge of God, the ultimate source of their being.

The Deep Universe

The Deep Universe
The Deep Universe By Professor A. R. Sandage, Professor R. G. Kron, Professor M. S. Longair, Allan Sandage (auth.)
1995 | 526 Pages | ISBN: 3540589139 | PDF | 9 MB
This book provides a first-hand account of modern cosmology, written by three celebrated astronomers renowned for their excellence in both research and teaching. The central theme of the book, the deep Universe, is approached in three truly complementary ways: as a coherent and smooth theory embracing the evolution of the Universe from its original radiations emerging from the hot Big Bang to the present structures of matter; as a meandering, rough road paved by our observations of stars, galaxies, and clusters; and in terms of how these approaches have been gradually developed and intertwined in the historical process that led to the modern science of cosmology. The book is written for graduate students in astrophysics but is also of interest to professional astronomers and particle physicists.

The Crisis and Renewal of American Capitalism A Civilizational Approach to Modern American Political Economy

The Crisis and Renewal of American Capitalism A Civilizational Approach to Modern American Political Economy
Laurence Cossu-Beaumont, "The Crisis and Renewal of American Capitalism: A Civilizational Approach to Modern American Political Economy "
English | ISBN: 1138908754 | 2015 | 292 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Despite the reversal of America's fortune from the triumphalism of the Roaring Nineties to the gloom of the lost decade and the Great Depression, theoretical conceptions of US capitalism have remained surprisingly unchanged. This book departs from the American political economy literature to identify three common myths that have shaped our conceptualization of US capitalism: its reduction to a state-market dyad dis-embedded from societal factors; the illusion of a weak state and the synchronic conception of the US variety of capitalism.
