Why were so many Taylor Swift fans unable to secure tickets for her upcoming US tour?

Possible explanations vary, but many have pointed to market power concentration in creative industries, and how it affects the creative class and consumers. Consider Amazon's influence in book publishing, Google/Facebook's advertising duopoly effect on news media, or in Swift's case, Ticketmaster's control of ticketing and venues for artists. In a new book (co-authored with scholar Rebecca Giblin), Cory Doctorow – a renowned writer and activist – calls this 'capture' of creative labor markets "Chokepoint Capitalism."

Doctorow joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss the negative effects of concentration, why the doctrine that gave us these market effects is inadequate, and what could be done to return more power and profits to creative workers and beyond – while also asking the question: what are we trying to accomplish with competition itself?

Face à l'échec des pratiques discrétionnaires, plusieurs auteurs ont proposé des solutions de rechange. J.Taylor a développé une règle monétaire simple et opérationnelle considérant comme une source d'information complémentaire ou comme des références ou des bases de comparaison ou encore comme un outil d'évaluation l'efficacité de la politique monétaire qui a pour objectif principal de conduire à une expansion lisse et non inflationniste. L'objet de ce travail est de proposer à la banque centrale marocaine (BAM) un mécanisme de formation du taux. Plus précisément, nous défendons l'idée selon laquelle il serait plus bénéfique pour la BAM d'adopter une règle monétaire du type Taylor. . Dans ce contexte, il est important d'évaluer la politique monétaire à travers une fonction de réaction. Ceci permettra de sélectionner l'équation la plus adaptée et d'en tirer les enseignements qui en découlant.

The collapsing of communitarian relations and the increasing isolation of individuals in relation to each other figure prominently in the studies of various authors who sought to describe contemporary ways of life. We address this issue as presented by Charles Taylor in Sources of the Self and in The ethics of authenticity. The author identifies three "malaises" that are present in modern society: individualism, the primacy of instrumental reason and the alienation of individuals from the political sphere. Proposing to avoid a restrictively negativist reading of such phenomena, Taylor presents them as transformations of the dynamic frameworks that constitute the modern identity. We undertook a study of the notions of identity and authenticity as presented in those books, aiming at a synthetic comprehension of this issue and investigating the possibilities of overcoming it, that is, of recovering the meanings lost by an individualist fragmentation. ; Los fenómenos del fracaso de las relaciones comunitarias y el aislamiento creciente de los individuos unos con otros surgen de manera expresiva en el pensamiento de diversos autores que trataron de describir los modos de vida de la sociedad contemporánea. Retomamos la problematización del tema efectuada por Charles Taylor en Fuentes del Yo y en La ética de la autenticidad. El autor identifica tres "malestares" presentes en la sociedad actual: el individualismo, el primado de la razón instrumental y la alienación del individuo en relación a la esfera política. Evitando una lectura restrictamente negativa de tales fenómenos, Taylor los presenta como transformaciones de las configuraciones dinámicas que constituyen los procesos identitarios modernos. Emprendemos un rescate de las nociones de identidad y autenticidad presentes en las citadas obras con el objetivo de hacer una comprensión sintética de tal escenario, así como de las posibilidades presentadas por el autor de su superación, es decir, del rescate de sentidos perdidos por la fragmentación individualista. ; Les phénomènes d'échec des relations communautaires et de l'isolement croissant des individus les uns envers aux autres apparaissent expressément dans les travaux de divers auteurs qui ont cherché à décrire les modes de vie de la société contemporaine. Nous reprenons cette discussion présentée par Charles Taylor dans Les sources du Moi et dans Le malaise de la modernité. L'auteur identifie trois « malaises » présents dans la société moderne : l'individualisme, le primauté de la raison instrumentale et l'aliénation ede l'individu par rapport à la sphère politique. En évitant une lecture restrictive et négativiste de tels phénomènes, Taylor les présente comme des transformations des cadres dynamiques qui constituent les processus identitaires modernes. Nous entreprenons une étude des notions d'identité et d'authenticité présentes dans les œuvres mentionnés, afin de créer une compréhension synthétique d'un tel scénario, ainsi que des possibilités pour surmonter le problème, c'est-à-dire de récupérer les significations perdues par la fragmentation individualiste. ; Os fenômenos do esfacelamento das relações comunitárias e do isolamento crescente dos indivíduos uns em relação aos outros surgem de maneira expressiva no pensamento de diversos autores que se voltaram à descrição dos modos de vida da sociedade contemporânea. Retomamos a problematização do tema efetuada por Charles Taylor em As fontes do Self e em A ética da autenticidade. O autor identifica três "mal-estares" presentes na sociedade atual: o individualismo, o primado da razão instrumental e a alienação do indivíduo em relação à esfera política. Evitando uma leitura restritamente negativista de tais fenômenos, Taylor os apresenta como transformações das configurações dinâmicas que constituem os processos identitários modernos. Empreendemos um resgate das noções de identidade e autenticidade presentes nas obras supracitadas, visando uma compreensão sintética de tal cenário e das possibilidades apresentadas pelo autor de sua superação, ou seja, do resgate de sentidos perdidos pela fragmentação individualista.

In July 2017, the Taylor Review on 'Modern Working Practices' was published. Led by Matthew Taylor, the Review aimed to consider the implications of new emerging business models for both worker rights and employer obligations. Its recommendations seem ill-informed, methodologically unsound and, ultimately, unlikely to address the widespread deprivation of workers' rights within the 'gig' economy and contemporary workplace. We shape our critique of the Taylor approach by reference to the constructions of 'choice' used in the Review and the limited scope permitted for worker 'voice'. In particular, we observe an evasion of international labour standards relevant to 'decent work' and a lack of attention n to fundamental human rights. Identifying methodological flaws in the Report and focusing on three central areas of reform: employment status; zero hours contracts; and workers' voice and representation, this article critically analyses a number of the proposals put forwards, concluding that many of the Taylor Review recommendations are not only problematic, but dangerous, with potentially serious deregulatory repercussions for UK workers if actioned upon and implemented by the current Government.

In this article, the alternative conception of secularity of Charles Taylor, Paul Valadier and Joseph Ratzinger (former Benedict XVI) is explored. A secularized society, which they take as an established condition, does not necessarily exclude religion, Christianity or Christian transcendence, in particular. On the contrary, the spirit of democracies and citizens needs to be constantly kindled, and to this end, the Christian message and traditions can be relevant. Rather than strictly comparing and contrasting these three men's thoughts, I deem it more fruitful to show how they complement each other. Though they certainly differ from each other, there is a remarkable overlap in their theological and philosophical anthropologies in which the notion of gift or gratuity is so central. The ideal of solidarity and justice that stems from this understanding of the human differs from conceptions that rely on the idea of the rational and self-sufficient agent.
