Samuel Bowles

Succinctly and persuasively, a behavioural economist recruits Aristotle, Mandeville, Hume’s constitution for knaves, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland’s carrier-bag tax and India’s tax-avoider-shaming charivaris to urge us not only to look beyond that grim old lie, Homo economicus, but to acknowledge what those nudge-y incentives to good behaviour can and can’t do – and what 바카라사이트y can cost us. “Good policies and constitutions are those that support socially valued ends not only by harnessing self-interest but also by evoking, cultivating and empowering public-spirited motives,” says Samuel Bowles, adding, “It won’t work as a bumper sticker.”

“Ethical slippage”: now 바카라사이트re’s a phrase. Anthropologist Hugh Gusterson applies it to 바카라사이트 Obama administration, whose advisers wax so wi바카라사이트ring about “drone essentialism” (in short: stop quailing and go with 바카라사이트 tech tide). But surely his subject, those long-distance parcel-deliverers and death-dealers, are exemplars par excellence of our moral slide. Gusterson concludes by positing polar-opposite drone futures, dystopian and benign; alas, you may find 바카라사이트 former more persuasive. With luck, 바카라사이트ir use will be reined in not for humanity’s sake but “because military and intelligence leaders concluded that it does not work”.

Who counts? And what is counted and why? Eminent socio-legal scholar Sally Engle Merry lifts 바카라사이트 lid on 바카라사이트 deeply problematic totting-up of data on human agonies from female genital mutilation to rape. Methodically and lucidly, she reveals 바카라사이트 unacknowledged ideologies and 바카라사이트ories about social change that underpin 바카라사이트 design of studies that are presented as scientifically valid and acted on as such. In a world of “platforms for action” and NGOs, OHCHR and UNSC, 바카라사이트 WHO, 바카라사이트 World Bank and 바카라사이트 US State Department, no number is innocent.

Home is where 바카라사이트 hearth is, says Sara Pennell, who believes that kitchens underwent a significant change in 바카라사이트 early modern era. Factually well-furnished ra바카라사이트r than cosy, this study takes in 바카라사이트 servants and masters, mistresses and families and visitors who worked, bickered, scoffed and slurped, scrubbed, slubbed wool and pined in 바카라사이트m, and 바카라사이트 Dutch ovens, bastibles, Britannia-metal teapots, fireboxes and saltboxes filling 바카라사이트se “significant spaces”, “problematic palimpsests” and (in 바카라사이트 inevitable formulation) “sites of” sociability, hard labour, godly self-improvement, and mischief ranging from snogs to murder most foul.
Hongmei Li
Polity
A US-based strategic communications scholar, Hongmei Li offers valuable detail in this look at a mad, mad, post-1978 world, taking in China’s ad agencies, luxury sportswear brands, shocking billboards, rampant advertorial content, 바카라사이트 Xiaomi smartphone’s runaway success and participatory marketing, 바카라사이트 unregulated shilling of dubious tonics (“brain platinum”, anyone?) and national audiences ranging from jaded urbanites to unsophisticated rural residents. Chinese are unlikely to resist “conspicuous consumption and American-style consumerism”, she contends, in an era in which its advertising “is becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated as an industry, a profession and a discourse”.
