With global finance continuing to play an overpowering role in advanced and developing countries alike, its fragility and instability are today more evident than ever before, especially in light of the recent global crisis followed by a 'Great Recession'. Demolishing the 'efficient growth' doctrine of mainstream economics, this collection of essays maps out an alternative pattern of global finance which can generate real growth with well-being. Covering both advanced as well as 'emerging' economies like China and India, the book provides an incisive analysis of contemporary issues. These include the systemic crisis that is inherent in deregulated global finance, the lack of growth as well as its distributional effects, the emerging pattern of the new global economy with incipient rivalries among nations, and, finally, the hegemonic order of the international financial institutions in the world economy. The volume traces the evolution of global finance over the last half century, and contextualizes the heightened uncertainty on account of speculation in deregulated markets along with crisis and recession in the real economy

Within Childhood Research starkly different theoretical and empirical concerns characterize the global south-north divide. Hia Sen attempts to bridge the gap in Childhood Research which usually addresses childhoods differently according to their 'developing/developed', 'western/non-western' contexts, and finds its middle ground in the context of the urban middle classes in contemporary West Bengal. The author documents areas such as leisure practices and everyday lives of school children in India for three cohorts, where it is possible to have a comparative perspective of childhoods given the existing rich ethnographic and historical research on childhoods in other cultural contexts.

This book is concerned with the study of collective preference, in particular with the relationship between the objectives of social action and the preferences and aspirations of society's members. Professor Sen's approach is based on the assumption that the problem of collective choice cannot be satisfactorily discussed within the confines of economics. While collective choice forms a crucial aspect of economics, the subject pertains also to political science, the theory of the state, and to the theory of decision procedures. The author has therefore used material from these disciplines, plus philosophical aspects from ethics and the theory of justice.
