The Soviet Union created a unique form of urban modernity, developing institutions of social provisioning for hundreds of millions of people in small and medium-sized industrial cities spread across a vast territory. After the collapse of socialism these institutions were profoundly shaken--casualties, in the eyes of many observers, of market-oriented reforms associated with neoliberalism and the Washington Consensus. In Post-Soviet Social, Stephen Collier examines reform in Russia beyond the Washington Consensus. He turns attention from the noisy battles over stabilization and privatization during the 1990s to subsequent reforms that grapple with the mundane details of pipes, wires, bureaucratic routines, and budgetary formulas that made up the Soviet social state. Drawing on Michel Foucault's lectures from the late 1970s, Post-Soviet Social uses the Russian case to examine neoliberalism as a central form of political rationality in contemporary societies. The book's basic finding--that neoliberal reforms provide a justification for redistribution and social welfare, and may work to preserve the norms and forms of social modernity--lays the groundwork for a critical revision of conventional understandings of these topics.

Micro-business is one of the activities that is currently almost 90% the share of business in Indonesia, considering the micro business is an informal business, and not many micro-businesses have been touched by the financing sector so that micro-businesses are not affected in the economic crisis.

"The book Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences brings out the contradictions and conflicts within the globalisation exercise; that while it provides opportunities for the poor and unemployed to improve their livelihoods, it encapsulates them in the phenomena of 'agencing', which become entrapments in long-term dependency and indebtedness. Global wealth-generating institutions and global poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of relationships, strategies, and alliances. The Trump factor in globalisation is inherently contradictory since it assumes an isolationist role for the United States vis-?-vis deployment of industrial investments in the developing world or the Trans-Pacific Partnership while simultaneously reinforcing armament contracts, political alliances, and extra-territorial militarisms which reinforce conflicts in Asia and the Middle East. Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences suggests that inter-disciplinary social sciences in an age of globalisation are best understood through a nexus of transactional activities which generate their own political economies, thereby framing social realities in their own parameters of thought and action, providing a better understanding of the subject-matter, and its changing sphere of influence."
