Our reflection seeks to highlight the historical fact that manipulation became the essential characteristic of capitalism after the Second World War. In coining the term "manipulative capitalism", Gyorgy Lukács was a visionary. The adjective "manipulative" qualifies the fundamental nature of the global system of capital. Therefore, more important than qualifying global capitalism as "cognitive capitalism", "neoliberal capitalism" or "technological capitalism" or even "financial capitalism", the most appropriate way to criticize capital is to qualify it as manipulative capitalism , since it is from its essentially manipulative nature that the capitalist mode of production organizes today - more than ever - politics, work, subjectivity, culture, ideology and technology. Therefore, manipulation in an unprecedented dimension in human history organizes the reproduction of global capital. Never has the power of ideology as manipulation acquired such material force. After the Second World War, the technological resources of mass media and mass ( dis )information developed impressively . From television to the Internet with social networks, such means of mass manipulation contributed to boost the cultural revolution of capital. In a historically unprecedented dimension, consumption and politics became objects of manipulation by capital. We cannot underestimate the power of the new informational technologies in leveraging the power of ideology and the manipulation of human subjectivity in the service of the interests of the profit system.
How to take a political beating and surviveIn the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the punches, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a penal colony in the South Pacific; a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair; an ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes; a trade union organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer; and a group of feminists padding a room with mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our language, Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize at once, and to do both without compromise.[ENDORSEMENTS TK][logo]SUBJECT LINE [INITIAL CAP ONLY]: PoliticsRETAIL PRICES [DOMESTIC MARKET FIRST]: £14.99 / $24.95 / $33.95CANversobooks.comISBN-13: 9781839766053
"Between Freedom and Security" is an attempt at an interdisciplinary, humanistic-technical consideration of the problem of the need of the self-realizing human being to meet the requirements imposed on him by, among other things, technical norms and legal regulations, which in a certain sense form the framework for his functioning (in a sense the limitation of the individual) and his subjective reception of freedom. Recognizing that the need for freedom and the need for security are constitutive for the self-realizing subject, the contributors present the different aspects of security and the constraints associated with it, and make suggestions for bridging the existing dissonance between what is objectively necessary and what is subjectively and individually justified.
This book gives insights on the fact that work in itself is sacred and wholly-addressing a wide range of economic, social, political, cultural and theological imbalances. It was ordained by God from the beginning, before the fall of man. After the Fall, it just got tougher, frustrating, exhausting, sometimes even boring. But work pursued with excellence and integrity is still pleasing to God, a way of honouring Him by serving in the unique ways He has equipped us. Our work often provides the opportunities to proclaim Him to a broken, unredeemed world-----through our examples, as well as by our words. A lot of workers do not see a connection between what they do and what they believe God wants it done in the world, within their circle of influences. We found out that many workers feel unfulfilled and frustrated in their work -including Christians, largely because they probably lack a proper understanding of why they work and its meaning to them. This book gives an overview of the attitude of people regarding work. The big idea is that our attitude towards work might change for good and thereby make considerable impact in our world. Our attitude towards work is characterise by the way people view work While human dignity is not supposed to be regional or racial in discussion, I quite agree with Dr Tanimu on the emphasis in the lives of the very poor people of Africa...Tanimu has laboured extensively to show how through God's perspective, systems in society can be discovered, developed and deployed to enhance the dignity of human life in Africa.----Bishop Michael O.

Reducing the prevalence of all forms of human trafficking, including sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and child sexual exploitation, is a national priority that puts the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a prominent role. Given the scale, evolving nature, and complexity of labor trafficking, combating the problem poses a significant challenge. The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) anti-human trafficking program is assessing the current state of and future needs for labor trafficking research in the United States. This effort will serve as a starting point for future social science-based S&T anti-human trafficking research and actions focused on labor trafficking. As part of this effort, DHS asked the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC) to identify a scientifically sound research agenda that would leverage existing U.S. and international efforts to address the growing phenomenon of labor trafficking. HSOAC experts developed a research agenda through an extensive review of the literature and meetings with experts from academia and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and with stakeholders from DHS and other parts of the U.S. government (expert interviews). The research agenda identified the barriers that would need to be addressed and the questions that would need to be answered to promote operationally relevant, focused, applied social and behavioral science research that would inform decision- and policymakers and assist operational partners in mitigating the crimes of labor trafficking and human trafficking more broadly. This report describes the authors' methods, findings, and recommendations.

The last two decades of the T&G, the essential left of centre union in Britain, were turbulent years. After a decade of neo-liberalism, and the defeat of miners, printers and dockers, the union responded by turning to organising and merger, out of which came Unite.
Gegenstand der Arbeit ist der Informationsfluss und die damit verbundene Frage nach dem Schutz von Geschäftsgeheimnissen bei Tarifverhandlungen. Exemplarisch werden anhand der Verhandlung eines Sanierungstarifvertrags potentielle Restriktionen der Informationsweitergabe an Gewerkschaft und Arbeitgeberverband untersucht. Dabei wird die Due Diligence bei Unternehmenskäufen als Referenzmaterie herangezogen. Es wird beleuchtet, ob die dort geltenden Weitergabebeschränkungen übertragbar sind. Die Arbeit widmet sich zudem der Frage, wie Arbeitgeberverband und Gewerkschaft mit den offengelegten Informationen umgehen müssen. Sind die Sozialpartner dazu verpflichtet, besondere organisatorische Sicherungsmaßnahmen zur Gewährleistung der Vertraulichkeit zu ergreifen?
The construction of Eurasia is a challenge for analysts due to its rapid progress from a Europe Asia Meeting (ASEM, 1996+) to a Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, 2015+), an applied cross-continental Land New Silk Road since 2013-2015. Yet, in the same period, the crisis around Ukraine (2014+), a gradual then hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan by ISAF forces (2011-2021), the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran (2015), now a full member of the SCO since 2021¿ diplomatic decisions and interstate practical schemes seem to exceed the capacity of observers to theorise quickly enough what is happening. Conceptually, Eurasia is experiencing a mix of centripetal evolutions at its peripheries ¿ Europe and East-Asia ¿ and a launch of centrifugal dynamics from its core ¿ Russia and Central Asia.The present book¿s ambitious title The Completion of Eurasia ?, which could be subtitled in the face of pressing challenges, explores a concentration of diverse ¿ yet equally complex ¿ issues grouped into four main clusters: organisational and diplomatic competition, logistical and infrastructural challenges, grasping the concept of Eurasia, making sense of historic turns. It provides a multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral understanding of what Eurasia ¿is¿ in its essence, despite historical turmoil and pressing insecurity issues.This book completes a series of publications by the Europe-Asia research network formed in the late 2000s. Originally based in Europe (Le Havre, France), this network is moving to Central Asia (Almaty, Kazakhstan).
"Eugene McCormac writes that running away was characteristic of servitude and that it cut into profits." - Liberation Theology Along the Potomac (2011)"In Eugene McCormac's study of indentured servants in Maryland, he notes that in the Assembly of 1637/38 there were fifteen former servants." - Social and Political Disorder in Proprietary Maryland (1970)"From Eugene McCormac in 1904...to Gloria Main...historians have seen the plantation system as inimicable to the interest of free craftsmen." - Colonial Chesapeake Society (2015)Is there any truth to claims that white people were kept as slaves on early colonial American plantations?University of California Professor of American History, Eugene Irving McCormac (1872-1943), answers this question and more in his 85-page book "White Servitude in Maryland, 1634-1820."In introducing his book, McCormac writes:"For a number of years the involuntary emigrants probably outnumbered those who went of their own free wills....The system of servitude thus early established in Virginia was adopted by Lord Baltimore as a means of settling and developing the colony of Maryland. Too poor to send out settlers himself, he induced others to transport servants in return for grants of land in the new colony."
Trade unions have repeatedly been challenged by neoliberal programmes implemented within Member States of theEuropean Union (EU) and at the European level. The twentyseven country chapters at the core of this book chart the features of the neoliberal challenge in the EU Member States and the measures implemented by unions in their attempts to adapt to changed circumstances since 2000. It is clear that union activity, either independently or in conjunction with allies, will be at the centre of revitalization campaigns if the pieces left from the neoliberal challenges are to be picked up and wielded into a coherent response.This book offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the development, structure, and policies of national trade union movements in the EU. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses from 2000 to 2020.
Arbejdsmarkedet bliver mere ulige og mere utrygt – flere bliver fattige. Statistikkerne maler et billede af et samfund, hvor forskellen på top og bund øges, hvor virksomhederne ansætter flere og flere i usikre stillinger uden fast timetal eller rettigheder, og hvor antallet af mennesker i arbejde, som alligevel er fattige (eller ligefrem hjemløse), bliver større og større. Men hvordan har det kunnet ske? Det europæiske samarbejde skulle skabe vækst og velstand, og vores sagnomspundne og gudsbenådede danske model skulle jo beskytte os mod ulighed, utryghed og fattigdom. Går vi en dyster fremtid i møde?Det forsøger Europa-parlamentsmedlem Marianne Vind at give svar på i denne bog. Hun kigger både på den teknologiske udviklings betydning for arbejdsmarkedet, på hvordan EU har omfavnet globaliseringen (og glemt at regulere den) og på, hvordan en svækket arbejderbevægelse har været ude af stand til at yde tilstrækkelig modstand. Men Marianne Vind kigger også fremad og ser på, hvordan vi kan bruge teknologien til fordel for alle, på hvordan vi tager magten tilbage fra markedet i EU, og på hvordan vi igen bliver i stand til at styrke arbejderbevægelsen. Bogen er skrevet til dig, der ser eller oplever uretfærdighederne på arbejdsmarkedet, og til dig, som gerne vil kæmpe imod.Det er en bog, der handler om, hvor altafgørende arbejdsmarkedet er for vores samfundsmodel og for hele Europas velstand. Men også om hvor ødelæggende arbejdsmarkedet kan virke, hvis vi ikke tager os i agt.
