What does it mean that gender is performative? In this short video, Judith Butler illustrates that gender is a culturally formed norm that is permanently produced and reproduced.
Lean Logic is the late David Fleming’s masterpiece, the product of more than thirty years’ work and a testament to the creative brilliance of one of Britain’s most important intellectuals. A dictionary unlike any other, it leads readers through Fleming’s stimulating exploration of fields as diverse as culture, history, science, art, logic, ethics, myth, economics, and anthropology, being made up of four hundred and four engaging essay-entries covering topics such as Boredom, Community, Debt, Growth, Harmless Lunatics, Land, Lean Thinking, Nanotechnology, Play, Religion, Spirit, Trust, and Utopia. The threads running through every entry are Fleming’s deft and original analysis of how our present market-based economy is destroying the very foundations—ecological, economic, and cultural— on which it depends, and his core focus: a compelling, grounded vision for a cohesive society that might weather the consequences
Dies ist eine Sammlung von Texten und Abbildungen zu verschiedenen ökonomischen Perspektiven. Zu Beginn der Sammlung wird jede ökonomische Perspektive einzeln vorgestellt. Im zweiten Teil werden alle Perspektiven miteinander verglichen, damit Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede erkennbar werden. Die Texte in dieser Sammlung sind bewusst einfach gehalten, da sie eine Einführung in die Thematik darstellen. Die Sammlung ist zudem auf die Darstellung einiger Perspektiven beschränkt und deckt bei Weitem nicht das gesamte Spektrum pluraler Ökonomik ab.
The gender pay gap is a pressing issue that affects individuals and society as a whole, so it is important for economics students to understand it. Despite recent progress, women still earn less than men for the same jobs, leading to economic inequalities and reduced efficiency (see, for example, the recent report released by Moody’s). Understanding the causes and consequences of the gender pay gap is critical in developing policies that promote fairness and equality.
