The idea of giving cash, no-strings-attached, to the poor has become popular in the 21st century.

Mike Campbell, "Capitalism in the UK: A Perspective from Marxist Political Economy "
English | ISBN: 1032422122 | 2023 | 206 pages | PDF | 32 MB
First published in 1981, Capitalism in the UK clearly states the Marxist position arguing that capitalism dominates the world economy, and that the world's trade and multinational enterprises favour the capitalist system. It shows how orthodox economics is not value-free and how orthodox economics implicitly assumes that capitalism is the only possible form of economic organisation for society. Designed for students on Political Economy and Marxists Economics courses, this comprehensive and concise volume provides an important counterweight to traditional first- and second-year introductory textbooks.

Can Human Rights and National Sovereignty Coexist
Can Human Rights and National Sovereignty Coexist?
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367609657 | 289 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
The real or imagined fear of a flood of immigrants has caused and fuelled the surge of an amalgam of populist political forces, anti-immigrant movements, and exclusionist nationalism in many developed countries. In the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of two phenomena in the political and legal spheres. On the one hand, there are liberal globalists asking for respect and the protection of the basic human rights of migrants and asylum seekers and arguing for their civic and social integration into host societies. On the other hand, there are growing calls for a tougher stance on immigration, and powerful populist politicians and governments have emerged in many developed countries. How can the idea of universal human rights survive exclusionist nationalism that uses a populist, unscrupulous approach to its advantage? The contributors to this book explore the meaning of, and possible solutions to, this dilemma using a wide range of approaches and seek appropriate ways of dealing with these normative predicaments shared by many developed societies.

Callimachus Revisited New Perspectives in Callimachean Scholarship
J.J.H. Klooster, M.A. Harder, R.F. Regtuit, "Callimachus Revisited: New Perspectives in Callimachean Scholarship"
English | 2019 | pages: 401 | ISBN: 9042938501 | PDF | 1,4 mb
This special volume of the Hellenistica Groningana, in honour of the achievements and career of Professor M.A. Harder revisits the poetry of Callimachus (theme of two earlier Hellenistic Workshops). A number of renowned international scholars in the field of Hellenistic studies reflect on new perspectives in Callimachean scholarship, inspired among other by Annette Harder's 2012 edition of Callimachus' Aetia. Their questions aim to contextualize and analyze Callimachus' poetry in novel ways, inspired by both new literary theory and historical insights and a solid body of existing scholarship. How do Callimachus' learned elegies relate to the genre of didactic poetry? How do his aetiological narratives straddle the border between fiction and reality? What is their basis in Hellenistic scholarship, and in Near Eastern or Egyptian poetic traditions? How and why do later Greek poets incorporate Callimachean poetics, and so facilitate his reception in Latin poetry? What is Callimachus' attitude to gods and divine rulers in his hymnic poetry? These and many more questions are addressed, creating new perspectives in Callimachean scholarship, as the title indicates.
