on behalf of the new art form. Using extensive archival research, Dana Polan looks at, for example, Columbia University's early classes on Photoplay Composition; lectures at the New School for Social Research by famed movie historian Terry Ramsaye; the film industry's sponsorship of a business course on film at Harvard; and attempts by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to create programs of professionalized education at the University of Southern California, Stanford, and elsewhere. Polan examines a wide range of thinkers who engaged with the new art of film, from Marxist Harry Alan Potamkin to sociologist Frederic Thrasher to Great Books advocates Mortimer Adler and Mark Van Doren. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"In his wide-ranging analysis of the history and perspectives of capitalism, Cosimo Perrotta displays at their best the pessimism of the intellect and the optimism of the will. Capitalism is a difficult beast, with many different varieties: a humane, civil capitalism requires complex strategies of intervention, and Perrotta's proposals deserve our full attention." - Alessandro Roncaglia, Professor of Economics, University of Roma "La Sapienza" The economic crisis of 2007/2008 has prompted much debate as to what caused it and what remedies may be implemented in order to regain a healthy economy. This book addresses these issues through the lens of capitalism with a focus on labour economics, arguing that capitalism, and the employment of young people and migrants, may be a suitable antidote to the ongoing political crises in Europe that are taking place as a result of the economic crisis. Using economic history and the history of economic thought to inform debate, Is Capitalism Still Progressive?: A Historical Approach will be of interest to policy makers, students and researchers interested in exploring the pros and cons, and persistence, of the capitalist system. |
