 Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China


Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China


$175


Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes. Based on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the issue of unemployment and the problems it has brought for the people of China. Investigating the market outcomes in post-reform urban China, the book focuses on the relationships between unemployment, inequality, and poverty. In addition, the authors provide an analysis on the emerging urban labour market and its stratified structure, job mobility, profit sharing, and the role of social capital. Empirical analysis is supported by rich data from nationally representative urban household and rural migrant surveys, providing the latest picture of the widening inequality in Chinese urban society.

 ''Keep America American'': Great Depression, government intervention, and conservative response in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, 1920s--1940.


”Keep America American”: Great Depression, government intervention, and conservative response in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, 1920s–1940.


$49.99


This study of one rural county in western Pennsylvania during the Great Depression highlights people’s response to government recovery programs. Rural folks in Somerset County experienced the depression before the crash in 1929, and throughout the 1920s, miners and farmers in the area found ways to cope with rising unemployment and declining farm prices. Miners used the strike to fight for better conditions; farmers organized into cooperatives to secure the best prices for their products. Each promulgated a set of values that reflected their vision of America. The 1920s was only a prelude to the economic downturn in the 1930s, when rural folks had to adapt to changes in the way that the government approached the economy. Many residents in Somerset County favored the approaches of Herbert Hoover, who honored their cherished values of thrift, self-help, and minimal government. For similar reasons, they also supported Republican Governor Gifford Pinchot, until he began to implement new taxes and to consolidate power at the state level. To many conservatives and localists, Pinchot resembled Franklin Roosevelt, who entered office promising federal assistance to the needy.;When Roosevelt took office, he implemented programs that often contradicted their cherished values. He passed costly federal direct and work relief programs that ran counter to their belief in private charity, self-help, and local control. His and Governor George Earle’s “new deals” also included farm policy that set limits on production and forced processors to pay a tax and consumers to pay more for food. County residents generally favored the laissez faire, supply and demand model for the economy. Even more troubling to the county’s localists and conservatives was the labor legislation that Roosevelt and Earle approved. The National Labor Relations Act, passed in 1935, and Pennsylvania’s Labor Relations Act, passed two years later, forced companies to recognize unions, and residents believed that

 'City of refuge': Urban labor, gender, and family formation during slavery and the transition to freedom in the District of Columbia, 1820--1875.


‘City of refuge’: Urban labor, gender, and family formation during slavery and the transition to freedom in the District of Columbia, 1820–1875.


$49.99


This study takes a longer view of the periods before, during, and after emancipation to show the changes and continuities that marked the transition to freedom in the District of Columbia; the national capital but also an unmistakably Southern city. Throughout this period, the District acted as a "city of refuge" for African Americans, both enslaved and free. Successive generations of African Americans migrated to the city in search of a meaningful freedom, which they consistently defined as the ability to form independent households and to control the conditions of their labor. The mass migration of freed men and women to Southern cities like the District of Columbia during the Civil War and after emancipation meant that a considerable number of African Americans transformed from slave to free laborers and rural to urban workers at the same time. In the District of Columbia, the transition to free labor was marked more by continuity than change, both in the continued limitations to black urban employment and in the ways that free African Americans adapted to these conditions. My work in reconstructing the household structures of African Americans both before and after emancipation provides a comparative perspective, which reveals that families employed similar strategies in their struggle to adapt to the racial and gender constraints of the urban labor economy. As the opportunities of black men to support their families continued to be restricted, men and women together negotiated and renegotiated gender and labor roles within their own households in order to support their families and communities. The main difference in the experience of antebellum free blacks and the experience of emancipated former slaves was the existence of federal agencies who sought to direct the transition to freedom during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

 A Biomass Future for the North American Great Plains: Toward Sustainable Land Use and Mitigation of Greenhouse Warming


A Biomass Future for the North American Great Plains: Toward Sustainable Land Use and Mitigation of Greenhouse Warming


$43.96


The Great Plains of North America is a major global breadbasket but its agriculture is stressed by drought, heat spells, damaging winds, soil erosion and declining ground water resources. The great inter-annual variability in crop production and declining rural populations weaken an economy already highly dependent upon government support. The region’s ecological fragility and economic weakness is attributed by many to removal of its original grass cover. Abandonment of agricultural cropping and restoration of the grass cover is one proposed solution to the region’s problems.Simulation models suggest that the agriculture and water resources of the Plains may be stressed even further as its climate changes because of global warming, which is due primarily to the emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion. This book explores the possibility that the ecology and economy of the Plains region (and similar regions) would benefit from the introduction of perennial biomass crops. Biomass production and processing on the Plains (possibly aided by genetic engineering) would partially restore a perennial vegetative cover and create new employment opportunities. Biomass also offers a means of reducing fossil fuel use, providing fuel to local power plants and a feedsk for production of cellulosic ethanol, a gasoline substitute. Interest in biofuels is growing rapidly in public, political and business circles with rising fossil fuel prices and because of a growing recognition of the need for energy independence in petroleum importing countries.

 A Bitter Living: Women, Markets, and Social Capital in Early Modern Germany


A Bitter Living: Women, Markets, and Social Capital in Early Modern Germany


$49.99


What role did women play in the pre-industrial European economy? Was it brought about by biology, culture, social institutions, or individual choices? And what were its consequences – for women, for men, for society at large? Women were key to the changes in the European economy between 1600 and 1800 that paved the way for industrialization. But we still know little about this female ‘shadow economy’ – and nothing quantitative or systematic.This book tackles these questions in a new way. It uses a unique micro-level database and rich qualitative sources to illuminate women’s contribution to a particular pre-industrial economy: the German state of Württemberg, which was in many ways typical of early modern Europe. Markets expanded here between 1600 and 1800, opening opportunities outside the household for both women and men. But they were circumscribed by strong ‘social networks’ – local communities and rural guilds with state support. Modern political scientists have praised social networks for generating ‘social capital’ – shared norms and collective sanctions which benefit network insiders, and sometimes the whole society. But this book reveals the dark side of ‘social capital’: insiders excluded and harmed outsiders, especially women, to the detriment of the economy at large.Early modern European economies differed widely in their restrictions on the role of women. But the monocausal approaches (technological, cultural, institutional) that dominate the existing literature cannot explain these differences. This book proposes an alternative approach driven by the decision individual women themselves made as they negotiated a wide array of constraints and pressures (including technological, cultural, and institutional ones). We are not only brought closer to the ‘bitter living’ pre-industrial women scraped together , but find out how it came to be so bitter, and how restrictions on women inflicted a bitter living on everyone.
