"In this monograph, Dugin provides an overview of the primary foreign and Russian sources and schools that influenced the establishment of ethnosociology as an independent and original scientific discipline. Dugin offers a profoundly philosophical approach to the categories of the "ethnos," "narod," "nation" and "society," providing clear definitions of these concepts, and expounding a broader ethnosociological taxonomy. For the first time in the field, this work brings a consistent approach to a broad spectrum of knowledge, as well as elucidating various methodologies of ethnosociological analysis, bringing everything together into a single, easily applicable system." -- Publisher's website

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations has been among the world books for over two hundred years and has gathered a mythology, which does scant justice to the actual book. One reason for this was that the Wealth of Nations was one of a series of studies through which Smith hoped to complete his system of moral, social and natural philosophy. The Individual in Society illustrates this system, especially in relation to Smith's other major work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and examines its relation to the Wealth of Nations. Included are: * Chapters on the views of important commentators such as Zeyss

One of the oddest things about the current recession is the "skill shortage" which makes so many managers irascible and baffles so many commentators and politicians; it baffles especially the ones who are accustomed to talk about the traditional talent and ingenuity of the people. Besides, if every person trained in a skill were exercising it for, say, 30 hours a week there would be super abundance. Some are promoted, some walk away, some hang about. Looking for work (whether you are "in work" or not) is far more time‐consuming than doing a good job. The nature of the problem lies deeper than statistics by category. Our society seems to set a high value on skill of one kind or another, but a low value on people who acquire it and define themselves by it. It is much easier to moralise than to peel away the layers of complication to uncover more appropriate simplifications that have some practical value.

From the Foreward: Each chapter of this work is in truth a separate essay or article in which an author distinguished in his field treats a different aspect or manifestation of violence in human society. I doubt whether so complete a treatise in so short a compass has been previously attempted. The reader will be left in no doubt when he reflects on what he has read that violence is, and always has been, a feature or a threat in human society- and will remain so. The reason why this must be so is madeplain in the early chapters. Violent behaviour is a display of man's aggressive instinct: without that instinct, which he (and she) shares with the rest of the animal kingdom, the human species would not survive.First published in 1987.

The government in postindependence India has promoted a pattern of development that would lead to an egalitarian, socialist society. Strategies have included expansion of public ownership in basic industries, & schemes for the democratization of the workplace, eg, work committees, joint management councils, & worker directors. Through various five-year plans, opportunities for self-employment in traditional village & modern small-scale industries have been developed. Cooperatives in Ru areas have increased employment & income for small farmers & fishermen. State power has been further decentralized by the introduction of panchayati raj institutions, a structure of local self-government. The goal of government intervention in trade & industry has been to make labor an equal partner in economic activity. 5 Tables, 16 References. K. Carande
