Der Sozialstaat hat in den Jahrzehnten der Ökologie die Ökologie erfolgreich vermieden. Die Grenzen des Wachstums waren für die Verteidiger des Sozialen sozial uninteressant, Arbeitsplätze waren wichtiger als Nistplätze. Die Klimakrise hat dieses Desinteresse unterminiert. Zunehmend tauchen die Sozialwissenschaften im Feld der Nachhaltigkeitsforschung auf und Sozialpolitikerinnen wollen das Klima schützen. Der Essay "Soziales Klima" durchmisst das Feld der Sozialen Nachhaltigkeit mit den Mitteln einer ganzheitlichen, an Hegel und Parsons informierten Soziologie.

Worn Out examines the underside of our historic clothing binge and the fashion industry's fall from grace. Former InStyle senior news editor and seasoned journalist Alyssa Hardy's riveting work explores the lives of the millions of garment workers—mostly women of color—who toil in the fashion industry around the world—from LA-based sweatshop employees who experience sexual abuse while stitching clothes for H&M, Fashion Nova, and Levi's to "homeworkers" in Indonesia who are unknowingly given carcinogenic materials to work with.

Geld ist nicht alles? Aber Geld ist ziemlich viel: Macht, Status, Lebensgrundlage. Und Grund für ziemlich viele Gefühle: Scham, Neid, Eifersucht. Aber auch Sicherheit, Glück, Freiheit. Was macht Geld mit uns, und was machen wir mit Geld? Mareice Kaiser erzählt ihre eigene Geldgeschichte und trifft Menschen, mit denen sie über Geld spricht. Vom Pfandflaschensammler bis zum Multi-Millionär stellt sie ihnen Fragen: Wie viel Geld ist genug? Wie viel Geld macht glücklich? Wer sollte mehr Geld haben? Wer weniger? Und wie könnte Geld gerechter verteilt sein?

Tech is often thought to be at the helm of innovation, yet the economic disparities between white, Black, and Latinx workers continue to persist. In What We Build with Power, activist and organizer David Delmar Sentíes argues that tech is in a position to move beyond empty platitudes and towards an organized workforce that values the economic wellbeing of Black and Latinx communities.

Die Schüler:innen der sogenannten Brennpunktschule haben ein "Herz aus Gold" und den Mut, über sich selbst zu lachen. Doch in einer Gesellschaft, die vor allem die Energydrinks im Unterricht, die gefakten Gucci-T-Shirts und die Klassenbucheinträge von "denen" sieht, haben sie kaum Aufstiegschancen. Das Schulsystem zementiert stattdessen bestehende Ungleichheiten. Lisa Graf wird von den Kids in ihrem Klassenzimmer an ihren eigenen Bildungsweg erinnert, der alles andere als gradlinig verlief.

Between 1920 and 1950, America saw an unprecedented expansion of wealth and power underwritten by technological innovation, cultural confidence, and victory in war. American elites won World War II, rebuilt the world order with America at its head, inaugurated the jet age, and put a man on the moon. The boom led to a larger, richer middle class that confirmed America’s best ideals. By the early 1970s, that ended. American elites have captured a disproportionate share of the social and economic rewards over the last fifty years.

Una grande trasformazione del mondo è avvenuta tra due date: il 9 novembre 1989, con la caduta del muro di Berlino, e il novembre 2019, quando scoppia a Wuhan l'emergenza Covid-19. Col crollo del muro di Berlino scompare il nemico, tutti si sentono fratelli e uguali. Si aprono le frontiere, crollano le istituzioni consolidate, inizia la globalizzazione. È un periodo di slancio impetuoso, pieno di speranza, di creatività, di utopia, ma il nuovo processo travolge il mondo consolidato, dagli stati-nazione alla famiglia, alla coppia.

Existem Estados pelo mundo que cobram altos impostos e oferecem muitos serviços à população. Outros têm oferta bem mais limitada, porém cobram poucos tributos, deixando a riqueza nas mãos dos cidadãos. Nosso Estado é de um terceiro tipo, mais próximo a um sádico obeso que rouba os que estão embaixo para dar aos grupinhos de cima, encastelados no poder.

Em sua primeira obra inédita depois do sucesso de A elite do atraso, de 2017, Jessé Souza se dedica a compreender a classe média brasileira. Com o mesmo estilo claro e acessível, mas sem fazer concessões à superficialidade, ele agora apresenta uma visão original e inovadora dessa classe fundamental da sociedade.

In 1963, the West Indian Marxist C.L.R. James posed the deceptively benign question: "What do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?" A challenge to the public to reconsider cricket and its meaning by placing the game in its true social, political, and economic context. Different Class does not simply challenge the widely accepted orthodoxy of English cricket, it demonstrates how the values and belief systems at its heart were intentionally developed in order to divide the English along class lines at every level of the game.

As the labor market continues to exploit workers by offering precarious, low-paid, and temporary jobs, for some, duality offers much-needed flexibility and staves off poverty. This book illustrates contemporary accounts of individuals taking extraordinary risks to hold jobs in both sex industries and non-sex work employment. It also opens a dialogue about how sex industries are stratified in the UK in terms of race and culture against the backdrop of Brexit. Debunking stereotypes of sex workers, this book makes an invaluable contribution to discourses about work, society, and policy.

Solidarietà, empatia, simpatia, compassione: parole di cui oggi nel discorso pubblico e nel linguaggio della politica si è quasi persa traccia. E questo, proprio mentre milioni di uomini e donne chiedono aiuto attraversando mari e tribolazioni, e mentre la povertà e le diseguaglianze crescono anche nel mondo ricco. Perché entrare in contatto con le emozioni altrui è diventato così difficile? E che cosa accade quando un essere umano le vede e le sente, le emozioni dell'altro?

Before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the country, more than six million people earned their living as tipped workers in the service industry. These workers, unsurprisingly, were among the most vulnerable workers during the pandemic. As in many other areas, the pandemic exposed the inadequacies of the nation's social safety net and minimum-wage standards. In her new book, One Fair Wage, Jayaraman shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society's most marginalized.

The author takes the listener on a walk through the heart of the South Side, Chicago, observing the noise, heavy traffic, the 24-hour restaurants and bars, the rich diversity of people on the streets at all hours of the day and night, and the smell of the highly polluted air.
