The Corporation, Law and Capitalism: A Radical Perspective on the Role of Law in the Global Political Economy
Author: Grietje Baars
File Type: pdf
In The Corporation, Law and Capitalism, Baars offers a radical Marxist perspective on the role of law in the global political economy. Closing a major gap in historical-materialist scholarship, they demonstrate how the corporation, capitalisms main engine from city-state and colonial times to the present multinational, is a masterpiece of legal technology. The symbiosis between law and capital becomes acutely apparent in the question of corporate accountability. Baars provides a detailed analysis of corporate human rights and war crimes trials, from the Nuremberg industrialists trials to current efforts. The book shows that precisely because of laws relationship to capital, law cannot prevent or remedy the externalities produced by corporate capitalism. This realisation will generate the space required to formulate a different answer to the question of the corporation, and to global corporate capitalism more broadly, outside of the law.

With a single announcement from a herald, all the cities of Greece and Asia had been set free only an intrepid soul could formulate such an ambitious project, only phenomenal valour and fortune bring it to fruition. (Livy, 33. 33) Thus Livy describes the reaction to the Roman commander T.Q. Flamininus proclamation of the freedom of Greece at the Isthmian games near Corinth in 196 BC. Half a century later Greece was annexed as a province of the Romans who burned the ancient city of Corinth to the ground. Books 31 to 40 of Livys history chart Romes emergence as an imperial nation and the Romans tempestuous involvement with Greece, Macedonia and the near East in the opening decades of the second century BC they are our most important source for Graeco-Roman relations in that century. Livys dramatic narrative includes the Roman campaigns in Spain and against the Gallic tribes of Northern Italy the flight of Hannibal from Carthage and his death in the East the debate on the Oppian law and the Bacchanalian Episode. This is the only unabridged English translation of Books 31 to 40. The complete Livy in English, available in five volumes from Oxford Worlds Classics.

Though these days, our celebrity culture tends to revolve around movie stars and pop musicians, there have been plenty of celebrity authors over the years and around the world. This volume brings together a number of contributors to look at how and why certain writersincluding Rousseau, Proust, Goethe, Pound, and Murakamihave attained celebrity throughout history. How were their images as celebrities constructed by themselves and in complicity with their fans? And how did that process and its effects differ from country to country and era to era? **

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt ... CHAPTER IV. THE DEVELOPMENT OF CATHOLICISM INTO JESUITISM OE, THE JESUIT PAPAL INFALLIBILITY. In the foregoing chapter we have spoken of the extraordinary extension of the Order of Jesus during the first half of the 19th century, and have examined the way in which the Society employed its freshly-acquired power, so that all thinking people must consider the proposition to be firmly established that the Jesuits remain the same as of old. But with this the Fathers are far from being satisfied, their great aim and object being still the most complete sway over Church and State. In the Church it has reached as far as this, that the Jesuitical tendency has become sole and unconditional mistress that only those make use of the name Catholic who think, believe, and act as the Jesuits wish them to think, believe, and act that Jesuitism and Catholicism signify one and the same thing in short, that these words are synonymous terms. In and out of the State, however, all that is antagonistic to Jesuit principles and Jesuit views and teachings has to disappear, even, it may be said, the very State itself. Thus, all the different kingdoms and principalities of Catholic Christendom must have nothing but Jesuit principles, morals, and religion, nothing but Jesuit dictates as to marringe and instruction, nought being left to them but to carry out most humbly Jesuit decrees against anti-Catholics. But, naturally, the Fathers are unable to conceal from themselves that to obtain such power will cost a tolerably severe contest, and they are unwilling to open this struggle thoughtlessly. No the strife must not commence till they are properly armed and they may venture to make themselves certain of victory by virtue of their powerful position....**

Author: Susan R. Holman
File Type: pdf
Winner of the 2016 Grawemeyer Award in Religion Global health efforts today are usually shaped by two very different ideological approaches a human rights-based approach to health and equity-often associated with public health, medicine, or economic development activities or a religious or humanitarian aid approach motivated by personal beliefs about charity, philanthropy, missional dynamics, and humanitarian mercy. The underlying differences between these two approaches can create tensions and even outright hostility that undermines the best intentions of those involved. In Beholden Religion, Global Health, and Human Rights, Susan R. Holman--a scholar in both religion and the history of medicine--challenges this traditional polarization by telling stories designed to help shape a new perspective on global health, one that involves a multidisciplinary integration of religion and culture with human rights and social justice. The books six chapters range broadly, describing pilgrimage texts in the Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions the effect of ministry and public policy on nineteenth-century health care for the poor the story of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as it shaped economic, social, and cultural rights a religious health assets approach based in Southern Africa and the complex dynamics of gift exchange in the modern faith-based focus on charity, community, and the common good. Holmans study serves as an insightful guide for students and practitioners interested in improving and broadening the scope of global health initiatives, with an eye towards having the greatest impact possible. **

In a world that is enveloped by skepticism, nihilism, provincialism, and mutual suspicion, a project on interreligious encounters opens new vistas of opportunities for thinking about creative ways to live together in our global village. Our world cries out for a new vision that will engender love, tolerance, peace, and justice. It is a vision that is sustained by deep faith in the goodness of our enduring religious traditions and a robust hope in humanity. Through a process of creative dialogue, we can begin to create new paradigms that will foster peace, reconciliation, and understanding. Christian Responses to Islam in Nigeria investigates the complex networks of competition, conflict, and cooperation in interreligious encounters in Nigeria. It studies how both contextual methods and holistic engagement can clarify and untangle some of the intricate conundrums that are discernible in the various ways Christians have responded to Islam in Nigeria. These two religious traditions are well represented in NIgeria. In fact, because of its demographic representation and balance, Nigeria presents a compelling case study for understanding emerging paradigms in interreligious encounters in Africa.**

File Type: pdf
Burkes tender and brave poems refuse to turn away from the cruelties of the world, both the kind we endure and the kind we unwittingly inflictand yet, even as they bear witness, they insist on joy. And tilt towards hope. And pry beauty from unlikely places. Lia Purpura In Animal Purpose, Michelle Y. Burke explores the lives of men and women as they stand poised between the desire to love and the compulsion to harm. In one poem, a woman teaches a farmhand the proper way to slaughter a truckload of chickens. In another, a couple confronts the recent loss of a loved one when a stranger makes an unexpected confession in a crowded restaurant. Set in both rural and urban spaces, these poems challenge received ideas about work, gender, and place. Danger blurs into beauty and back again. Burke scours the hard edges of the world to find fleeting softness, which she wishes into the world like pollen that covers everything. **

Translator names not noted above E.S. Shuckburgh, William Melmoth, F.C.T. Bosanquet Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name Harvard Classics, this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard Universitys longest-serving president. Also known as Dr. Eliots Five Foot Shelf, it represented Eliots belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume IX features three works by Roman philosopher MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO (106 BC-43 BC) the dialogue On Friendship, a timeless consideration of that happy state the essay On Old Age, his reflections on aging and death and his Letters, including his thoughts on matters both personal and political the Letters of Roman lawyer PLINY THE YOUNGER (61-c. 112), which remain some of the most valuable firsthand documents we have of the period, particularly since he moved in politically important circles the letters include his eyewitness account of the disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
