The Just Price, the Free Market, and the Value of WomenIn this pathbreaking book, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the meanings of women's wages in the United States in the twentieth century, focusing on three sets of issues that capture the transformation of women's roles: the battle over minimum wage for women, which exposes the relationship between family ideology and workplace demands; the argument over equal pay for equal work, which challenges gendered patterns of self-esteem and social organization; and the current debate over comparable worth, which seeks to incorporate traditionally female values into new work and family trajectories.Blazer LecturesWagesWomenUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWagesWomenHistory331.4/2973/0904331.429730904Kessler-Harris Alice126008MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996248081903316A Woman's Wage2364441UNISA03169nam 22005415 450 991098838610332120250322115431.03-031-84185-910.1007/978-3-031-84185-9(CKB)38111359100041(DE-He213)978-3-031-84185-9(MiAaPQ)EBC31973473(Au-PeEL)EBL31973473(EXLCZ)993811135910004120250322d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Political Economy of Contemporary Human Civilisation, Volume II From Quantum Computing and Nuclear Fusion to War and Conflict /by Sangaralingam Ramesh1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2025.1 online resource (XIX, 330 p. 10 illus.) 3-031-84184-0 1.

Conclusion.This book, the second of two volumes, examines the evolution of humanity and development global economic systems to provide insight into the advances and challenges they have created. By placing modern technology and global crises within the context of long-term human development, it evaluates the threat of climate change on future generations by showing how past civilizations have survived and succumbed to climate events. The potential for artificial intelligence, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, and biotechnology to combat the current global challenges is explored, alongside possibilities of new technologies exacerbating poverty, inequality, and social division. This book highlights the consequences of human cognition and the constant desire for economic growth and evaluates whether they have been a net positive for human society. It will be of interest to students and researchers working on political economy and global challenges.
