Walter Korpi, "The Working Class in Welfare Capitalism "
English | ISBN: 1032354429 | 2022 | 472 pages | PDF | 22 MB
First published in 1978, The Working Class in Welfare Capitalism looks at the position of the working class in the Swedish pattern of welfare capitalism and compares it with other capitalist industrial countries. Beginning with an analysis of class, class conflict, power and social change in classical and modern social theory, Professor Korpi discusses the development of the Swedish labour movement and its strategies of class conflict. He focuses on the situation of the worker at the workplace and in the community, on the functioning of the labour union, on industrial conflict, and on the political views and standpoints of the workers. He also examines political developments in Sweden and discusses the prospects for a development towards economic democracy. A challenging and comprehensive study of Swedish social democracy in action, carried out by a Swede within a comparative frame of reference, the book presents an analysis which is of central relevance to all capitalist societies, especially when mass communist parties in Europe appear to be moving towards reformistic socialism. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, social class, economy and history.

Danielle Child, "Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism "
English | ISBN: 1350022381 | 2019 | 240 pages | PDF | 19 MB
Working Aesthetics is about the relationship between art and work under contemporary capitalism. Whilst labour used to be regarded as an unattractive subject for art, the proximity of work to everyday life has subsequently narrowed the gap between work and art. The artist is no longer considered apart from the economic, but is heralded as an example of how to work in neoliberal management textbooks. As work and life become obscured within the contemporary period, this book asks how artistic practice is affected, including those who labour for artists. Through a series of case studies,

COMMEEDALISM: Why capitalism fails and how we can build a robust, equitable and sustainable alternative by Samuel Mwaura
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BQFVMXS5 | 177 pages | EPUB | 0.32 Mb
Capitalism is bad for our economy, our society and our planet, and we know that full well. But until now, we have had no feasible alternatives to consider for a replacement. We have never actually quite figured out what is inherently wrong with capitalism. Without a problem well stated, we have had no launch pad towards a credible solution. So we have been stuck with capitalism and sadly actually almost gave up on even the mere envisioning of an alternative. We acquiesced.

Artist at Work, Proximity of Art and Capitalism by Bojana Kunst
English | August 28, 2015 | ISBN: 1785350005 | True EPUB | 241 pages | 1.9 MB
The main affirmation of artistic practice must today happen through thinking about the conditions and the status of the artist's work. Only then can it be revealed that what is a part of the speculations of capital is not art itself, but mostly artistic life. Artist at Work examines the recent changes in the labour of an artist and addresses them from the perspective of performance.

Kees Boterbloem, "The Dirty Secret of Early Modern Capitalism: The Global Reach of the Dutch Arms Trade, Warfare and Mercenaries in the Se"
English | ISBN: 1138692883 | 2019 | 244 pages | EPUB | 567 KB
This book shows how the Dutch accumulation of great wealth was closely linked to their involvement in warfare. By charting Dutch activity across the globe, it explores Dutch participation in the international arms trade, and in wars both at home and abroad. In doing so, it ponders the issue of how capitalism has often historically thrived best when its practitioners are ruthless and ignore the human cost of their search for riches. This complicates the traditional Marxist understanding of capitalists as middle-class exploiters in arguing for a much greater agency among lower-class Dutch soldiers and sailors in their efforts to benefit from skills that were in high demand.

What exactly is capitalism? How has the meaning of capitalism changed over time? And what's at stake in our understanding or misunderstanding of it? In Capitalism, Michael Sonenscher examines the history behind the concept and pieces together the range of subjects bound up with the word. Sonenscher shows that many of our received ideas fail to pick up the work that the idea of capitalism is doing for us, without us even realizing it. "Capitalism" was first coined in France in the early nineteenth century. It began as a fusion of two distinct sets of ideas. The first involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The second involved thinking about the division of labor.
