    Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism

    Engelstalige paperback, in zeer goede staat

    What I am seeking here is a better understanding of the contradictions of capital, not of capitalism. I want to know how the economic engine of capitalism works the way it does, and why it might stutter and stall and sometimes appear to be on the verge of collapse. I also want to show why this economic engine should be replaced, and with what. --from the Introduction
    To modern Western society, capitalism is the air we breathe, and most people rarely think to question it, for good or for ill. But knowing what makes capitalism work--and what makes it fail--is crucial to understanding its long-term health, and the vast implications for the global economy that go along with it.
    In Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism, the eminent scholar David Harvey, author of A Brief History of Neoliberalism, examines the internal contradictions within the flow of capital that have precipitated recent crises. He contends that while the contradictions have made capitalism flexible and resilient, they also contain the seeds of systemic catastrophe. Many of the contradictions are manageable, but some are fatal: the stress on endless compound growth, the necessity to exploit nature to its limits, and tendency toward universal alienation. Capitalism has always managed to extend the outer limits through spatial fixes, expanding the geography of the system to cover nations and people formerly outside of its range. Whether it can continue to expand is an open question, but Harvey thinks it unlikely in the medium term future: the limits cannot extend much further, and the recent financial crisis is a harbinger of this.
    David Harvey has long been recognized as one of the world s most acute critical analysts of the global capitalist system and the injustices that flow from it. In this book, he returns to the foundations of all of his work, dissecting and interrogating the fundamental illogic of our economic system, as well as giving us a look at how human societies are likely to evolve in a post-capitalist world.

    The entrepreneural state

    The entrepreneural state

    Paperback in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig.

    Companies like Google and Apple heralded the information revolution, and opened the doors for Silicon Valley to grow into an engine of dazzling technological development, that today champions the free market that engendered it against the supposedly stifling encroachment of government regulation. But is that really the case? In this sharp and controversial expose,The Entrepreneurial State, Mariana Mazzucato debunks the pervasive myth that the state is a laggard, bureaucratic apparatus at odds with a dynamic private sector. Instead she reveals in case study after case study that, in fact, the opposite is true: the state is our boldest and most valuable innovator.

    The technology revolution would never have happened without support from the US Government. The breakthroughsGPS, touch-screen displays, the Internet, and voice-activated AIthat enabled legendary Apple products to be smart successes were, in fact, all developed with support from the state. Mazzucato reveals that many successful entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs integrated state-funded technological developments into their products and then reaped the rewards themselves. The algorithm behind Google’s search engine was initially sponsored by NASA. And 75% of NMEsnew, often-ground-breaking drugs not derivative of existing substancestrace their research to National Institutes of Health (NIH) labs. The American government, it turns out, has been enormously successfully at stimulating scientific and technological advancement.

    But by 2009, just some months following the Great Recessionthe US government, constrained by austerity measures, started disinvesting from its holdings in research fields like health, energy, electronics. The trend is likely to continue, and the repercussions of these policies could wreak havoc on our technology and science sectors. But Mazzucato remains optimistic. If managed correctly, state-sponsored development of Green technology, for instance, could be as efficacious as suburbanization & post-war reconstruction in the mid-twentieth century, and unleash a wide-spread golden age in the global economy.

    The limitations of natural resources and the threat of global warming could become the most powerful driver of growth, employment, and innovation within just one generationbut to be successful, the Green Revolution will depend on the initiatives of proactive governments. By not admitting the State’s role in economic and technological progress, we are socializing only the risks of investing in innovation, while privatizing the rewards in the hands of only a few businesses. This, Mazzucato argues, hurts both future of innovation and equity in modern-day capitalism.

    For policy-makers, Silicon Valley start-up founders, venture-capitalists, and economists alike,The Entrepreneurial State stirs up much needed debate and offers up a brilliant corrective to spurious beliefs: to thrive, American businesses have always and will need to depend on the support of our country’s most audacious entrepreneur, the state.

    The Sharing Economy

    The Sharing Economy

    Hardback met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig.

    Sharing isn't new. Giving someone a ride, having a guest in your spare room, running errands for someone, participating in a supper club—these are not revolutionary concepts. What is new, in the “sharing economy,” is that you are not helping a friend for free; you are providing these services to a stranger for money. In this book, Arun Sundararajan, an expert on the sharing economy, explains the transition to what he describes as “crowd-based capitalism”—a new way of organizing economic activity that may supplant the traditional corporate-centered model. As peer-to-peer commercial exchange blurs the lines between the personal and the professional, how will the economy, government regulation, what it means to have a job, and our social fabric be affected?

    Drawing on extensive research and numerous real-world examples—including Airbnb, Lyft, Uber, Etsy, TaskRabbit, France's BlaBlaCar, China's Didi Kuaidi, and India's Ola, Sundararajan explains the basics of crowd-based capitalism. He describes the intriguing mix of “gift” and “market” in its transactions, demystifies emerging blockchain technologies, and clarifies the dizzying array of emerging on-demand platforms. He considers how this new paradigm changes economic growth and the future of work. Will we live in a world of empowered entrepreneurs who enjoy professional flexibility and independence? Or will we become disenfranchised digital laborers scurrying between platforms in search of the next wedge of piecework? Sundararajan highlights the important policy choices and suggests possible new directions for self-regulatory organizations, labor law, and funding our social safety net.

    Nieuwe producten en diensten bedenken, versie 3.0

    Hardcover, in zeer goede staat

    Het bedenken van succesvolle nieuwe producten of diensten is lastig. Slechts een op de zes innovatieprojecten haalt de markt. Omdat de klant er niet op zit te wachten, het intern aan draagvlak ontbreekt of omdat het technisch niet haalbaar is. Daarom is de VOORT innovatiemethode ontwikkeld. Met een intern team bedenk je in vijf stappen concrete nieuwe producten, diensten of businessmodellen. In een gestructureerd creatief proces keer je terug met drie tot vijf mini new business cases, vijftien weken na de kick-off. De methode is succesvol omdat je start met een innovatieopdracht, je zelf klantfricties ontdekt, de klant nauw betrokken is, je terugkeert met concrete business cases en je het gezamenlijk met een team doet. Dit zorgt voor intern draagvlak. De VOORT innovatiemethode is voor iedereen bruikbaar. Zowel voor diensten als producten en in business-to-business-of in business-to-consumermarkten. Meer dan dertig bedrijven en organisaties passen de methode toe. Sanoma Media heeft met deze methode de Libelle Academy en Work4Women bedacht en succesvol geïntroduceerd. Deze praktijkcase komt uitgebreid aan bod. Dit boek is een werkboek, bedoeld om de VOORT innovatiemethode zelf toe te passen. Het staat boordevol praktische inspiratie en bruikbare formats. Het bevat ook 35 creatieve technieken om zelf in het ideationproces te gebruiken. Over de auteurs Gijs van Wulfen, grondlegger van de VOORT innovatiemethode, is bedrijfseconoom, marketeer en innovatiefacilitator.
