"Les économistes de renom qui ont collaboré à cet ouvrage ont des points de vue différents sur l'économie et n'appartiennent pas aux mêmes courants politiques. Pourtant, ils pensent tous que la sortie de l'euro est un préalable au redressement de l'économie. L'euro tue l'Europe : désindustrialisation, paupérisation allant de pair avec une désertification économique de parts entières des pays et la concentration de richesses et de pouvoir dans quelques endroits... Des réformes injustes et inutiles, une monnaie qui n'a pas évolué en instrument de puissance à l'usage de tous, un aveuglement ayant déjà coûté trop d'emplois et de vies... Par cet ouvrage, Jacques Sapir, Jean-Jacques Rosa, Norman Palma, Gérard Lafay, Jean-Pierre Gérard ou encore Jean-Claude Werrebrouck avec les contributions d'auteurs d'autres nations européennes veulent se détacher des logiques partisanes et apporter une contribution scientifique à cette question : l'euro est-il mort ? "En finir avec l'euro, c'est la possibilité et la tentation de soustraire les monnaies à l'empire mondial de la finance. C'est aussi le possible rétablissement des souverainetés disparues avec la privatisation des monnaies. C'est enfin le possible cheminement vers une forme renouvelée de l'État-Nation. C'est en conséquence le possible rétablissement d'une démocratie confisquée.""--Page 4 of cover

"Color Me Included is the result of the three-year historical and spiritual search of minister Deborah Knowlton, as she transcribed clergy records from the Archives of the First Congregational Church of Hampton, New Hampshire. In these handwritten, primary sources, she discovered details of the lives of African Americans, captured over 156 years by twelve ministers. The records informed the author's research, as she rediscovered the names and partial histories of over twenty-seven African American men, women and children of Hampton, Hampton Falls, Kingston, North Hampton, Seabrook, Kensington, Kingston, East Kingston, Sandown, and Danville, New Hampshire"--Back cover

"This fascinating book is the first comprehensive art-historical study of what it meant to be an American artist in the 18th- and early 19th-century transatlantic world. Susan Rather examines the status of artists from different geographical, professional, and material perspectives, and delves into topics such as portrait painting in Boston and London; the trade of art in Philadelphia and New York; the negotiability and usefulness of colonial American identity in Italy and London; and the shifting representation of artists in and from the former British colonies after the Revolutionary War, when London remained the most important cultural touchstone. The book interweaves nuanced analysis of well-known artists--John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, and Gilbert Stuart, among others--with accounts of non-elite painters and ephemeral texts and images such as painted signs and advertisements. Throughout, Rather questions the validity of the term "American," which she sees as provisional--the product of an evolving, multifaceted cultural construction. "--

This unique edited collection explores the ways in which entrepreneurship acts to shape self-identity for Indian women and validate their identities in a patriarchal society. Differing from existing literature which focuses on the antecedents of entrepreneurship for women and their performing outcomes, Indian Women as Entrepreneurs questions whether entrepreneurship is simply about exploiting a business opportunity for profitability. Asserting that both work and societal environments have an impact on an entrepreneur's self-identity, this book demonstrates ways in which self-concept influences the entrepreneur's relationship with their work in terms of motivation, effort and performance. Building on Unveiling Women's Leadership, this book provides an original and important contribution to the literature on entrepreneurial Indian women.

All countries, regions and institutions are ultimately built on a degree of consensus, on a collective commitment to a concept, belief or value system. This consensus is continuously rephrased and reinvented through a narrative of cohesion and challenged by expressions of discontent and discord. The history of the Low Countries is characterised by both a striving for consensus and eruptions of discord, both internally and from external challenges. This interdisciplinary volume explores consensus and discord in a Low Countries context along broad cultural, linguistic and historical lines. Disciplines represented include early-modern and contemporary history; art history; film; literature; and translation scholars from both the Low Countries and beyond.
