Our system exists by choice, not the dictates of immutable economic laws; and it is leading the U.S. to financial collapse. The author highlights essentially ignored inequities and fallacies inherent in major aspects of our economy and of economic theory. The text explains how the system is skewed to big government and a dominant financial sector and undermining our standard of living.Debts, Public -- United StatesMonetary policy -- United StatesUnited States -- Economic conditions -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Foreign relations -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Social conditions -- 21st centuryDebts, PublicUnited StatesMonetary policyUnited StatesElectronic books.Debts, Public -- United States.Monetary policy -- United States.United States -- Economic conditions -- 21st century.United States -- Foreign relations -- 21st century.United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century.Debts, PublicMonetary policy330.973Jennings James L948016AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910452005603321A More Imperfect Union2142782UNINA03775nam 22006855 450 991029943270332120200704023931.03-319-09849-710.1007/978-3-319-09849-4(CKB)3710000000332326(EBL)1965412(OCoLC)899495744(SSID)ssj0001424303(PQKBManifestationID)11891200(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001424303(PQKBWorkID)11367566(PQKB)11705248(DE-He213)978-3-319-09849-4(MiAaPQ)EBC1965412(PPN)18351680X(EXLCZ)99371000000033232620150105d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrEmergent Spatio-temporal Dimensions of the City Habitus and Urban Rhythms /by Fabian Neuhaus1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (335 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-09848-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Urban Rhythms -- Urban Machine and Time Space -- Body Space and Spatial Narrative -- Urban Diary -- New City Landscape -- Structuring Time -- Structuring Space -- Temporality - The Rhythmic City.This book focuses on the creation of space as an activity. The argument draws not only on aspects of movement in time, but also on a cultural and specifically social context influencing the creation of the spatial habitus. The book reconsiders existing theories of time and space in the field of urban planning and develops an updated account of spatial activity, experience and space-making. Recent developments in spatial practice, specifically related to new technologies, make this an important and timely task. Integrating spatial-temporal dynamics into the way we think about cities aids the implementation of sustainable forms of urban planning. The study is composed of two different case studies. One case is based on fieldwork tracking individual movement using GPS, the other case utilises data mined from Twitter. One of the key elements in the conclusion to this book is the definition of temporality as a status rather than a transition. It is argued that through repetitive practices as habitus, time has presence and agency in our everyday lives. This book is based on the work undertaken for a PhD at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis and was and accepted as thesis by University College London in 2013.Regional planningCity planningCity planningSociophysicsEconophysicsLandscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Urbanismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K18006Data-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Buildinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030Regional planning.City planning.City planning.Sociophysics.Econophysics.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Urbanism.Data-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building.710711.4910Neuhaus Fabianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063532BOOK9910299432703321Emergent Spatio-temporal Dimensions of the City2532909UNINA
