The book explores the crisis of neo-classical economic theory in an attempt to explain developments in the post-war period. It present a critique to the structure in terms of scarcity approach and go deeper into the failure to the determination of a uniform rate of profit, and limited substitutions of labor and capital. This book explores the crisis of neo-classical economic theory in an attempt to explain developments in the post-war period. It explores two important aspects: strengthening the tradition of classical political economy (CPE) that arose in response to various critiques of neo-classical economic theory; and exploring the potential of CPE to deal with issues of development.The advantage of an alternative to mainstream economic theory is that it can explain value, distribution, and developmental issues of capitalist as well as non-capitalist economies around the world. The articles in this volume - written by eminent economists in honour of Krishna Bharadwaj - present a critique to the structure of the neo-classical theory in terms of scarcity approach and go deeper into the failure to the determination of a uniform rate of profit, and limited substitutions of labor and capital. The volume resurrects Sraffa’s system of production determining prices and the rate of profit allowing the possibility of output dynamics to be dealt with separately. Krishna Bharadwaj worked passionately towards these objectives, and this book establishes the foundations of CPE in the light of her writings. The book will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers of Economics, Economic Theory & Philosophy, Political Economy, Development Dynamics and History of Economic Thought.

Examining the concept of TimeSpace in the work of Immanuel Wallerstein and its crucial role within world-systems analysis, Uncertainties of Time brings together important but previously hard-to-access material from Wallerstein’s writings. Examining the concept of TimeSpace in the work of Immanuel Wallerstein and its crucial role within world-systems analysis, Uncertainties of Time brings together important but previously hard-to-access material from Wallerstein’s writings.TimeSpace is a concept developed from his earliest days in the 1970s until well into the twenty-first century, drawing from the historian Fernand Braudel and the chemist Ilya Prigogine to rethink historical time’s two overlooked modes—long enduring or eternal time, on the one hand, and, on the other, uncertainty in world-systems. Wallerstein, thereby, invented a fresh version of historical social science that brought together the customary disciplines associated with economics, politics, and sociology.This book is an essential volume for understanding Immanuel Wallerstein’s unique contributions to the understanding of the modern world-system, which he argued came to an end after the world revolution of 1968—leaving us now in an indeterminate world of chaos. This is thereby a sourcebook for researchers and students who care about the history and decline of our now chaotic world. Autorid: Immanuel Wallerstein, Charles Lemert

Artfully Teaching Reading with Project-Based Learning: Literacy Lessons for the Elementary Classroom connects evidence-based approaches with project-based learning so that you can help your students develop their literacy skills in engaging and authentic ways. This book connects evidence-based approaches with project-based learning so that you can help your students develop their literacy skills in engaging and authentic ways.There are so many real-world scenarios that can be used in classrooms, such as newscasts, podcasts, and movie-making, all of which require skills that can be taught discretely and explicitly so that students can accomplish the goals of each project. This book takes the research in reading and translates it into structured projects that you can integrate into your lesson plans. Once the research is described, the authors list the skills necessary to complete the project and the ways that these skills can be taught in structured and explicit ways, many of which are embedded in the project itself. Each chapter contextualizes the skills within the Active View of Reading. Then, step-by-step instructions are given on how to complete the project. Each chapter includes an example activity and lesson plan that you can incorporate into your teaching immediately.Through the integration of the science of reading and project-based learning, this is a key resource for elementary school reading teachers. With the strategies and ideas outlined in this book, you can see how evidence-based instruction can be fun and connected to authentic experiences. Autorid: Chase Young, Seth A.

Rokhl Feygenberg became one of the youngest authors published in Yiddish when her autobiographical debut novel, The Winding Road, was released serially in 1905. This fictionalized account of her own rough childhood in a small Belarusian shtetl in the 1890s is framed by the deaths of her father when she was five and that of her mother when she was fourteen. Forced to provide and care for her family, the narrator finds escape through books and is inspired by them to invent an alternate fantasy life for herself, transforming the challenges of her everyday into a dreamscape world of city life and romance. In Tamara T. Helfers masterful translation, the narrator describes her fictional village of Bulin, deep in wild swampland and forests, far away from the world of books where she finds solace. Readers are enmeshed in the daily rituals of rural Jewish life, following the narrator through her long days of labor and caring for family. Her story, at times very funny, at times full of pathos, is a clear-eyed description of youthful imaginings with three-dimensional, flawed characters, and vivid descriptions of everyday shtetl life. The Winding Road presents an unvarnished portrait of nineteenth-century Jewish life and offers readers a deeper understanding of the vast distance turn-of-the-century women traveled to find a fully realized life.

"Observances, Feasts, and Scripts is the first monograph written in English to offer a comprehensive analysis of the varieties of zhai, a multifaceted term with deep historical and religious significance in Chinese Buddhism. Drawing on a wide array of sources-including canonical texts, apocryphal writings, hagiographies, and ritual documents-this book unveils zhai as a ritual complex encompassing temporary observances, communal feasts, and modes of interaction between the seen and unseen realms. These practices, rooted in both lay and monastic traditions, illustrate the intricate interplay between food, community, and ritual in Indian and Chinese Buddhism. Part I traces how Indian Buddhist temporary observances were adapted, debated, and reimagined in the Chinese context. Part II explains the sponsored feast as a mechanism for lay-monastic interaction and merit-making. It also examines how Buddhists engaged with deities and spirit saints through remote invitations and ritual offerings. Part III focuses on "scripts" used for receiving the Eightfold Observance and conducting sponsored feasts, thus revealing their evolution from simple master-disciple interactions to complex communal events. Observances, Feasts, and Scripts is an essential resource for scholars interested in food-related religious practices and the history of Buddhism. Through its meticulous examination of Chinese, Pāli, Sanskrit, and Tibetan materials, the book offers a fresh perspective on Chinese Buddhism as an intercultural endeavor. It sheds light on relevant scholastic debates, the creation of apocrypha, translation strategies, and ritual innovations in medieval China. By moving beyond teleological frameworks such as Sinicization, it emphasizes the agency of cultural, doctrinal,and social factors in shaping these practices. Additionally, it engages with the cognitive dimensions of ritual and highlights ritual logic as a cross-cultural analytical lens"-- Provided by publisher.
