    Politics as a peculiar business : insights from a theory of entangled political economy (2016)

    Content: 1. Public choice and the Virginia tradition of political economy -- 2. Alternative paths for a theory of political economy -- 3. Systems theory and parts-to-whole relationships -- 4. The logic of economizing action : universal form and particular practice -- 5. Reason, sentiment, and electoral competition -- 6. Parasitical political calculation -- 7. Societal tectonics and the art of the deal -- 8. Moral imagination and constitutional arrangement.
    Content: Economists typically treat government as something outside the business realm, a sort of "Lord of the Manor". Richard Wagner argues that this is the wrong approach and can ultimately be destructive to capitalism and to society. Modern governments are a peculiar form of business enterprise. They face the same problems as regular businesses, such as ascertaining demand and organizing production, and act within the system in a way that can lead to a parasitical relationship with the market. Largely rooted in political economy, this book develops new theoretical ideas and formulations to explain why democracy is a difficult form of government to maintain. The author explores how and why limited governments can morph into a system of destructive politics, and looks at ways to escape this process. This dynamic book will be useful for public choice scholars, economists, political scientists, and lawyers who are interested in political economy in its various guises

    Content: Contents: 1. Macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and public debt: conflating myth and reality -- 2. Political economy and the supply of macro guidance -- 3. Engines, ecologies, and economic systems -- 4. Budgeting and public debt within a system of cooperative democracy -- 5. Public debt within systems of monopolistic democracy -- 6. "Monstrous moral hybrids" and the corrupting quality of public debt -- Index
    Content: Over the past few decades, economists have witnessed with growing uneasiness their failure to explain the ballooning of public debt in most countries. Using methodological individualism and micro-economics, this book overcomes flaws inherent in the standard macro approach, according to which governments manipulate public debt to promote systemic stability. This unique analysis is grounded in the writings of Antonio de Viti de Marco, injecting current analytical contributions and formulations into the framework to offer a forthright insight into public debt and political economy. Public Debt provides an alternative orientation that explains why concepts of public debt that are relevant for authoritarian regimes are not relevant for democratic regimes. It examines public debt in cooperative and monopolistic democracies as well as the corrupting quality of public debt in democracy. Including topics such as macro guidance within a Machiavellian approach, public debt as systemic lying and as a shell game, economy as an ecology vs. economy as an engine, individual vs. group action and cooperative state as ideal type, this book is a unique and refreshing approach to the material. This comprehensive and cohesive sourcebook will serve as a critical resource for academics interested in public debt and political economy

Adjustments in the balance sheets - is it normal, this "new normal"? / Liviu Voinea, Alexie Alupoaiei, Florin Dragu and Florian Neagu -- Index
    Content: The original chapters in this book connect the microeconomic and macroeconomic approaches to public debt. Through their thought-provoking views, leading scholars offer insights into the incentives that individuals and governments may have in resorting to public debt, thereby promoting a clearer understanding of its economic consequences. The authors explore public debt along two distinct but complementary analytical paths. One path concerns microeconomic aspects of public debt as it emerges through budgetary processes where individuals respond to the costs and gains of different courses of action. The other concerns the systemic properties of rational individuals acting within a democratic system of political economy. Within this scheme of thought, the two levels of analysis are integrated by recognition that efforts to control macro-level outcomes must address the micro-level circumstances and conditions that promote public debt as systemic budgetary outcomes. Scholars and students, as well as policy makers in public debt and political economy, will find this critical resource invaluable to understanding this vital issue

    Content: "Into the Wild nähert sich der 'Kunstgeschichte im globalen Kontext' aus verschiedenen Perspektiven und begreift es als breites Gefäß, das unterschiedlichste Zeiten und Untersuchungsobjekte umfasst. Jenseits von Antagonismen wie high und low oder Zentrum und Peripherie werden Phänomene der Übersetzung, Aneignung und Ortsspezifik in den Mittelpunkt gerückt. Die vierzehn Beiträge (dt. und engl.) adressieren auf inhaltlicher und methodologischer Ebene die Herausforderungen, die sich der Kunst- und Architekturgeschichte aus einer transkulturellen Perspektive stellen. Welche theoretischen Ansätze können fruchtbar gemacht werden? Wie kann ein interdisziplinärer Austausch mit Fächern wie etwa der Anthropologie, Archäologie, Geografie oder den Visual und Material Studies sinnvoll gestaltet werden? Welche Methoden eignen sich, um Transfer, Mobilität, Migration und Identität zu diskutieren?" -- "Into the Wild approaches the 'art history in the global context' from different perspectives and sees it as a broad vessel that encompasses a wide variety of times and objects of investigation. Beyond antagonisms such as high and low or centre and periphery, the focus is on phenomena of translation, appropriation and location specific. The fourteen articles (German and English) address the content and methodological level of the challenges that art and architectural history face from a transcultural perspective. Which theoretical approaches can be fruitful? How can an interdisciplinary exchange with subjects such as anthropology, archaeology, geography or the visual and material studies be meaningfully designed? Which methods are suitable for discussing transfer, mobility, migration and identity?"

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Permanent changes and improvements in technology entail crucial impacts on organizations, including the development of human resources by using social media platforms for recruitment. Nowadays, to reach and attract top talents, social recruitment is getting even more important for companies. This study examines the reasons encouraging its usage, analyzes in which extent and how companies implement it and discusses recent and future trends as well as risks and advantages of social recruitment. The research is qualitative and based on secondary data comprising diverse conducted surveys that display the scope of social recruitment usage by hiring managers and human resources professionals as well as successful accomplishments of various companies. Main findings show that companies focus on multiple approaches, such as enhancing the branding and reputation represented online, to attract talents, and benefit from the extension of networks as well as the ability to identify candidates, including passive ones and those living in other countries, faster and more cost-effectively through precise sourcing on social media platforms. Companies are also aware of major trends for future social recruitment, such as artificial intelligence or diversity, which already tend to be successfully performed by certain businesses. However, there are certain risks that come along, such as the insecurity of reliable information and the proper usage of personal data as well as the fact that not all skilled people are registered on these platforms. Thus, based on the major results of the study and referring back to the literature review, relevant recommendations for companies and recruiters, including the enhancement and extension of the social recruitment strategy in a proper way to enable a beneficial development in companies’ human resources, are elaborated. Keywords: social recruitment implementation, social media platforms, future trends, erecruitment, human resources."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Women are much less likely to be in leadership positions than men, although the education and school careers of both sexes are almost identical. Now the question arises as to why, despite equal or similar qualifications of women and men, there is inequality in leadership positions. Is it the stereotypes that say that women are often against a career and prefer a family planning, which often leads to disruptions in the career path? [...] Which role does the 'glass ceiling' play? These questions will be discussed in more detail in the following work and will be edited by using various sources. This Bachelor Thesis examines the problem of the discrimination against women in getting to Leadership Positions. Many aspects are assessed more closely, with a focus on two building blocks, Quota System in general and Germany with the introduction of the quota system. Based on the research question, data is collected and discussed at the end. Thereby the paper is divided into six parts. At the beginning there is an overview of the quota system and the female quota in general and then in relation to Germany. Is it necessary to introduce a quota system -- who benefits from it and to whom could it harm? This is followed by important personnel selection issues, which explain why there are more men in leadership positions than women. Next, the styles of leadership are discussed to determine if gender based differences exist. The last section is the empirical part. In this part, the survey about 'Women in Leadership Positions - Quota System' will be discussed and then the results are presented. The survey deals with the topic of the quota system, and the situation of having more men in leadership positions than women. Subsequently, the elaborated theories are summarized using the survey results, which is completed with a conclusion."
