God and Globalization: Religion and the Powers of the Common Life (Theology for the 21st Century)

ASIN: 156338311X |
Book Description
In the late 20th century, the world has grown increasingly smaller because of advances in technology and the erosion of the nation-state as a political paradigm. The process of globalizationwith its promises of a common culture, a common currency, and a common governmentoffers a new political model for the world that fosters unity and community. At the same time, however, this process threatens to destroy the values, norms, and ideals that particular cultures have wrought and established and to thereby diminish the power of each culture's unique identity. As globalization occurs, society must decide which values will be normative and what roles that social institutions like religion and education will play in selecting and fostering these values.The contributors to this volume examine both the promise and the threat of globalization using the tools of theological ethics to understand and evaluate the "social contexts of life at the deepest moral and spiritual levels." This inaugural volume of a projected four volume series, Theology for the 21st Century: God and Globalization, examines five spheres of lifeeconomics (Mammon), political science (Mars), psychology and sexuality (Eros), the mass media and the arts (Muses), and religionthat foster normative values for society. As the writers argue, their efforts attempt to determine whether "God is behind globalization in any substantive way."

Money, Interest and Capital: A Study in the Foundations of Monetary Theory (Modern Cambridge Economics Series)
Colin Rogers Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521351383 |
Book Description
This book presents a study in the foundations of monetary theory with several unique features. It consists of two parts: a critique of the varieties of neoclassical monetary theory, and a rigorous statement of the foundations of Post Keynesian monetary theory. The two parts reflect Joseph Schumpeter’s distinction between monetary theories in the divergent traditions of Real and Monetary Analysis. Part I offers a novel critique of Wicksellian and neo-Walrasian general equilibrium versions of Real analysis. The critique of Wicksell's monetary theory demonstrates the general impossibility of defining the natural rate of interest without which the loanable funds theory collapses. The critique of neo-Walrasian monetary theory, on the other hand, exploits the inessential role of ‘money’ in temporary equilibrium and overlapping generations models and develops a novel interpretation of the Patinkin controversy and the Clower finance constraint. The implications of these developments are then traced through the debates between monetarists and Keynesians. Part II presents a rigorous argument for securing the foundations of Post Keynesian monetary theory in the tradition of Monetary Analysis. In the context of the evolution of the monetary system from commodity money to credit money. Wicksell’s natural rate of interest is replaced by Keynes's marginal efficiency of capital which is in turn applied to Myrdal’s notion of monetary equilibrium to derive a formal definition of Keynes’s point of effective demand. This leads to the most novel feature of the book: the demonstration of the existence of a long-run unemployment equilibrium without the assumptions of rigid wages. The principle of effective demand is shown to break Say’s Law by placing a limit on the profitable expansion of output before full employment is reached.Customer Reviews:

Its What You Need. Seriously!.......2004-11-11
Great book!.......2004-08-21
Good book...great Instructor.......2003-05-11
Anyway, to cut this short, I've built a number of websites all based on the code in here but fleshed out with SQL Server (instead of Access) and broke the implementation up into n-tier by implementing classes and objects. But that really is easy once I got the understanding and foundation of E-Commerce websites fr Stephen Walther's book.
I'm just wondering when Stephen is coming out with E-Commerce Programming with ASP.NET ... I'm sure it would be a blockbuster.

Good book to get the idea.........2003-01-21
I teach using this book.......2002-07-29
Someone could get up to speed with ASP pretty quickly with this book. I use it to teach ASP to a cross-section of students with moderate computer backgrounds--not computer science majors. It does not cover the basic functionality, like loops and variables, so a better book for beginners may be one such as Learn ASP in 21 Days. That is if you are still teaching or learning ASP rather than dot-Net. And I honestly don't know which is best to learn at this transitional point. I find ASP very simple to learn and teach from books like this that just tell you what to do, show you, and let you do it.
