Book Synopsis The Global Class War by : Jeff Faux
Download or read book The Global Class War written by Jeff Faux. This book was released on 2010-12-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaim for The Global Class War "You will never think about 'free trade' the same way after reading Jeff Faux's superb book. As Faux makes clear, the globalization debate is really about whose interests are served by global elites, and how we need to go about reclaiming a democracy that serves ordinary people. This book should transform public discourse in America." -Robert Kuttner, founding coeditor of the American Prospect and a contributing columnist to BusinessWeek "Jeff Faux's astonishing story of how class works will scandalize the best names in Wall Street and Washington-especially the much admired Robert Rubin, who along with other elites colluded behind the backs of ordinary citizens in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The most cynical Americans will be shocked by the sordid details. This really is an important book." -William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism and Secrets of the Temple "Globalization is a cover for American imperialism, but the beneficiaries are not the American people at the expense of foreigners but corporate executives at the expense of working-class and poor people wherever they may be. Jeff Faux offers a comprehensive and devastating analysis." -Chalmers Johnson, author of The Sorrows of Empire

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Bourdieu's 'Distinction' by : Philippe Coulangeon
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Bourdieu's 'Distinction' written by Philippe Coulangeon. This book was released on 2014-10-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the genesis of Bourdieu's classical book Distinction and its international career in contemporary Social Sciences. It includes contributions from contemporary sociologists from diverse countries who question the theoretical legacy of this book in various fields and national contexts. Invited authors review and exemplify current controversies concerning the theses promoted in Distinction in the sociology of culture, lifestyles, social classes and stratification, with a specific attention dedicated to the emerging forms of cultural capital and the logics of distinction that occur in relation to material consumption or bodily practices. They also empirically illustrate the theoretical contribution of Distinction in relation with such notions as field or habitus, which fruitfulness is emphasized in relation with some methodological innovations of the book. In this respect, a special focus is put on the emerging stream of "distinction studies" and on the opportunities offered by the geometrical data analysis of social spaces.
