John E. King erläutert die besonderen Merkmale der postkeynesianischen Wirtschaft slehre, einer Schule, die in der Nachfolge des britischen Ökonomen John Maynard Keynes für eine sozial gerechtere Wirtschaft sordnung eintritt. Er beginnt mit einem Überblick über die Kernelemente der Theorie und erklärt, wie sie sich von anderen Schulen unterscheidet. Im Weiteren befasst er sich mit wichtigen methodischen Fragen, die die Postkeynesianer von den Mainstream-Ökonomen trennen, mit ihrer Behandlung von Unternehmen, ArbeiterInnen und Haushalten und ihrer Analyse von Wirtschaftswachstum und Entwicklung. Den postkeynesianischen Ansatz erläutert King insbesondere in Bezug auf Geld- und Steuerpolitik, Einkommen und Umwelt, wobei er den Kontroversen über Sparmaßnahmen und Austeritätspolitik und der Reform des Finanzsektors und des internationalen Währungssystems große Aufmerksamkeit widmet. Diese Einführung ist für ein breites Publikum geschrieben, das nach Alternativen zu sogenannten „Strukturreformen“ und zur makroökonomischen Idealisierung des Konzepts der „schwäbischen Hausfrau“ sucht.

Jak z úspěšných skupin vznikají skvělé organizace. Ptáci tvoří hejna, vlci smečky a lidé kmeny, skupiny o dvaceti až sto padesáti lidech. Kmeny jsou základním stavebním prvkem jakéhokoli rozsáhlejšího lidského úsilí. Mají větší vliv a význam než týmy, celé podniky či sebeschopnější generální ředitelé. Jsou to právě kmeny, kdo v podniku rozhoduje o tom, zda se novému šéfovi bude dařit nebo zda ho brzy nahradí někdo jiný. Některé kmeny vyžadují od všech svých členů maximální výkony a neustále se rozvíjejí. Jiné dělají jen to, co je nezbytně nutné. Co je příčinou tohoto rozdílu ve výkonnosti? Jejich kmenoví vůdci. Kmenoví vůdci se soustředí na posilování kmenu, přesněji řečeno na rozvíjení kmenové kultury. Pokud se jim to daří, jde kmen od úspěchu k úspěchu. Pro řadu lidí to představuje velkou hádanku: jak to dělají? Když se jich zeptáte, mnozí kmenoví vůdci nedokážou objasnit, co přesně dělají jinak. Po přečtení této knihy vám bude jasné, v čem spočívá jejich úspěch, a navíc je dokážete napodobit.

In Skinheads, John King takes us inside skinhead culture today and explains how it never really went away.Skinheads is the story of a way of life, told through three generations of a family: Terry English, original ska-loving skinhead and boss of a mini-cab firm; Nutty Ray, street-punk skin and active football hooligan; and Lol, son of Terry, nephew of Ray, a fifteen-year-old kid just starting out. Terry is sick and not sure he’s going to make his fiftieth birthday, but is kept going by his music, his lovely mod-girl assistant Angie, and his discovery of the abandoned Union Jack Club, which he decides to clean up and re-open. Ray, meanwhile, is out driving mini-cabs and struggling to control his anger; his only release — days out with Chelsea’s finest. But when he takes the law into his own hands in an explosion of righteous violence, his future starts to darken. John King’s seventh novel draws on nearly forty years of evolving British culture. The skinheads didn’t die off: the look went mainstream and their music was accepted and reinvented, while the boys themselves keep misbehaving in the traditional ways. Challenging society’s fears and prejudices, Skinheads shows us a group of truly humane characters driven by passion and honour and the culture they love. This is their story.

Antoine Sfeir's Columbia World Dictionary of Islamism is a major resource. Translated for the first time from the original French, this volume features more than two thousand entries on the history of Islamism and Islamic countries. It provides a balanced account of events and organizations, as well as philosophers, activists, militants, and other prominent figures, and offers a window into a movement that has irrevocably changed both Muslim and Western societies. The dictionary includes entries on the roots of Islamism and jihad in Africa, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, the Balkans, and the United States, among many other countries and locations. It profiles such key individuals as Louis Farrakhan; Tariq Ramadan; Abu Hamza Al-Masri; Algeria's Hassan Hattab, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood; Egypt's Hassan Al-Banna; and the leader of the Afghan Jombesh-i Melli Islami movement, Abdul Rashid Dostum; historical events such as the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and Syria's Hama massacre; organizations and religious movements such as the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, Morocco's Justice and Development Party, and Iran's Association for the Defense of the Values of the Islamic Revolution; and groups including Tablighi Jamaat (the Society of the Message), the World Association for Muslim Youth, and Lebanon's Al-Ahbash. A unique aspect of this dictionary is its examination of this antimodern incarnation of Islam and its efforts to claim (or reclaim) Muslim society, families, and professional environments. The volume considers such questions as whether activist Islam is "terrorist" and if it can coexist with Western societies; whether terrorism can be justified by the Quran; and what are the components of an international Islam. Antoine Sfeir, internationally renowned for his scholarship and expertise on this subject, remains sensitive to the differences between Islam and Islamism and approaches the ideology from geopolitical, sociological, and historical standpoints.
