This book offers a rigorous, detailed, and balanced analysis of the various contributions to the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) debate, incorporating both the arguments of proponents and those who point to its limitations and obstacles. Modern Monetary Theory has soared in popularity, particularly in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent impactson the economy which have led to deeper discussions about monetary and financial systems, fiscal and monetary policies, inflation, and employment. The main characteristic of Modern Monetary Theory is that it offers a revolutionary way of thinking about all these issues, allowing us to abandon many of the myths that conventional economic theory installed in the collective imagination. Breaking down these false beliefs is an essential requirementfor thinking and devising economic policy proposals that allow full employment to be achieved without suffering worrying inflation rates. However, this approach has also attracted many criticisms and it is also instructive to consider these in more detail to reach a fully rounded conclusion about the potential or merits of MMT. Written to be accessible to the non-economist, this book will be of great interest to readers from across the social sciences, and outside of academia who want to gain a fuller understanding of the Modern Monetary Theory phenomenon.

"This book critically examines how boundaries, physical and symbolic, unfold in different geographies and spaces. It aims to understand why and how boundaries exist and how they are constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed. It explores why certain boundaries persist while others are removed, and new ones are established. The book benefits from visual essays that complement the theoretical and empirical chapters, showing the complexity of boundaries in a simple and effective way. It does not focus on one form of boundary or geographic location. It shifts its attention to different geographies and boundaries. It also focuses on intersections between these boundaries and how symbolic and physical boundaries complete each other. The book provides case studies from the past and present, allowing readers to connect subjects, periods and geographies. The chapters address 'classical' boundaries such as nation-states and tackle novel questions such as ownership against access, i.e., of urban infrastructures, COVID-19 and lockdowns and the divides within digital worlds. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and students working in the fields of urban and rural studies, urban sociology, cities and communities, urban and regional planning, urban anthropology, political sciences and migration studies, human geography, cultural geography, urban anthropology, and visual arts"--

"Global anti-Asian racism, particularly in the guise of Yellow Peril, has endured for centuries around the world. In Europe and the Americas, Asian immigrants and refugees were, and are, treated as threats to national security. Yellow Peril and anti-Asian racism is also found in Africa, Australia, and in Asian nations as well. Wherever Asian immigrants and refugees found themselves, anti-Asian sentiments quickly followed. The contributors to Global Anti-Asian Racism investigate the varied manifestations of prejudice and violence that Asians have endured through the 17th century to the twin pandemics of anti-Asian racism during COVID-19. From historical case studies in Mexico and Brazil to personal ruminations of people who are Asian German, mixed-race Swedish-Japanese, and adopted Korean American, to graphic narratives and poetic explorations, the essays in this volume illuminate the multifaceted nature of global anti-Asian racism and the resilience of Asians across the world to resist and counter this bigotry and bias"--

In 'Hardship Duty', Stephanie Bonnes focuses on the puzzle of how sexual abuse remains highly prevalent in an organization that has dynamic policies, prevention strategies, and evolving education programs designed to combat sexual violence as well as victim services and legal assistance. Bonnes uncovers the processes that sustain sexual violence vulnerability, and the institutional and interpersonal factors that contribute to harassment. She also examines how organizational values shape harassment and broader workplace experiences of U.S. servicewomen.

Kippelemente sind überregionale bis globale Komponenten des Erd-Klimasystems, die potenziell nichtlinear auf den anthropogenen Klimawandel reagieren könnten. Bei Überschreiten wichtiger Schwellenwerte (Kipppunkte) gehen sie in wesentlich andere langfristige Zustände über, die in menschlichen Zeiträumen häufig unumkehrbar sind und positive Rückkopplungen (also sich selbst verstärkende Effekte im Erd-Klimasystem) nach sich ziehen können. Damit können potenziell die Grenzen der Anpassungsfähigkeit von Menschen und Umwelt erreicht oder überschritten werden. Neuere Forschungen zeigen, dass die aktuelle globale Erwärmung von ~ 1,2 °C gegenüber vorindustrieller Zeit bereits im Möglichkeitsbereich wichtiger Kipppunkte liegt und dass weitere Kipppunkte im Bereich von 1,5 bis 2 °C Erwärmung "möglich" oder sogar "wahrscheinlich" werden. Diese Überschreitungen könnten zu kaskadischen Kippdynamiken auf globaler Ebene führen, welche eine Kettenreaktion weiterer Kipppunktüberschreitungen impliziert. Angesichts der dynamischen Wechselwirkung zwischen potenziellen Klimagefahren und sozioökonomischen Systemen ist es besonders wichtig, Kippdynamiken und ihre wahrscheinlichen Auswirkungen besser zu verstehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in diesem Bericht, die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse zu klimatischen Kipppunkten sowie deren klima- und sicherheitspolitischen Implikationen auf Basis der wissenschaftlichen Literatur aufbereitet. Diese Erkenntnisse sollen zur Entwicklung von Klimastrategien beitragen, die die Risiken und Herausforderungen von Kipppunkten direkt integrieren. Die Ergebnisse richten sich neben politischen Entscheidungsträger*innen auch an Akteur*innen der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung sowie an die interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Das vorliegende Hintergrundpapier thematisiert relevante Aspekte von Kippelementen, -punkten und möglicher Kaskadeneffekte, die von diesen Zielgruppen bei der Diskussion und Ausgestaltung nationaler, europäischer und internationaler Klimapolitik berücksichtigt werden müssen.

Being oblivious to the motivational nuances behind human behavior could lead one to overlook the distinction that a good action does not always indicate a good character. Conversely, this book argues that such nuances are paramount, because motivational differences have fundamental implications for the welfare of the individual and society.

By examining writings by women in the long eighteenth century and comparing them to contemporary sources, this book seeks to complicate the stereotypes present of overconsumption and insensibility in British Jamaica. The sentimental exchanges of material goods solidified bonds for white women separated by the Atlantic.
