Research, University of Bath “Geoff Crocker courageously explores the relationship between income, money and technology in this well-documented and well-argued book.”– Slavo Radosevic, Professor of Innovation Studies, University College London This Palgrave Pivot is immensely relevant to current policy debates on poverty, welfare policy, monetary policy, and the impact of automation. Geoff Crocker offers a radical re-interpretation of economic theory, specifically of income, money, and technology. The book explores alternative economic paradigms, focusing on the urgent need to get adequate income to all households, whilst reducing national debt. Technology is essential for the understanding of economic outcomes, since consumption, production, employment, distribution, and transactions all shift radically with technological change. Major policy proposals include hybrid welfare schemes with reduced conditionality, an element of universal income, and a proposal for direct money financing of government expenditure, all without stoking inflation. This book will appeal to economists, policy analysts, economic journalists, and others who are interested in radical restructuring of the economy. Geoff Crocker graduated in economics, followed by a master’s degree in the philosophy of science. He worked internationally in industry strategy for more than 25 years. His previous books include A Managerial Philosophy of Technology (Palgrave 2012) and Basic Income and Sovereign Money: The Alternative to Economic Crisis and Austerity Policy (Palgrave 2020). . |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Racist Logic tackles how racist thinking can be found in surprising-and often overlooked-places. In the forum's lead essay, historian Donna Murch traces the origins of the opioid epidemic to Big Pharma's aggressive marketing to white suburbanites. The result, Murch shows, has been to construct a legal world of white drug addiction alongside an illicit drug war that has disproportionately targeted people of color. Other essays examine how the global surrogacy industry incentivizes the reproduction of whiteness while relying on the exploited labor of women of color, how black masculinity is commodified in racial capitalism, and how Wall Street exploited Caribbean populations to bankroll U.S. imperialism. Racist logic, this issue shows, continues to pervade our society, including its nominally colorblind business practices. Contributors not only explore the institutional structures that profit from black suffering, but also point the way to racial justice. |
