How care can resist the stifling force of the neoliberal paradigm In a world brimming with tremendous wealth and resources, too many are suffering the oppression of precarious existences-and with no adequate relief from free market-driven institutions. Care Ethics in the Age of Precarity assembles an international group of interdisciplinary scholars to explore the question of care theory as a response to market-driven capitalism, addressing the relationship of three of the most compelling social and political subjects today: care, precarity, and neoliberalism. While care theory often centers on questions of individual actions and choices, this collection instead connects theory to the contemporary political moment and public sphere. The contributors address the link between neoliberal values-such as individualism, productive exchange, and the free market-and the pervasive state of precarity and vulnerability in which so many find themselves. From disability studies and medical ethics to natural-disaster responses and the posthuman, examples from Maori, Dutch, and Japanese politics to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, this collection presents illuminating new ways of considering precarity in our world. Care Ethics in the Age of Precarity offers a hopeful tone in the growing valorization of care, demonstrating the need for an innovative approach to precarity within entrenched systems of oppression and a change in priorities around the basic needs of humanity.

A lot of people think that DEMOCRACY is about politics and governance while LEADERSHIP is about politics and business. And they are right. However, there is more to Democracy and Leadership than politics, governance and business. Democracy and Leadership are also about life in general. In certain parts of the West Coast of Africa, for example, the local fishermen and fishmongers take a collaborative "democratic leadership" approach to manage each day's catch. Depending on the size of a day's haul and situation, the head of the fishing team or the owner of the canoe encourages a participative (democratic) leadership role to decide how the catch should be apportioned. The fishmongers (front cover), who are mostly women and very conversant with the fish market dynamics, negotiate for a portion that they would scale at a location with proximity to either the market or fish-smoking facilities. The fishmongers adapt various but "everyday" leadership characteristics to decide on the portion that should be sold fresh at the beach or at the market, and the percentage that should be smoked or dried to preserve the fish to enable extended retailing period. The latter is strategic to avoid fermentation or spoilage of the fish particularly in the situation where both fishermen and fishmongers lack access to a cold storage. The important vehicle that enables this collaboration to thrive is embedded in human dignity, human rights, respect for others and effective communication. During their work with Democracy and Leadership over some time, it has gradually dawned on the authors that the values and attitudes that underpin real democracy and good leadership also are very much present in decent everyday human life. Summed up in one concept the common ground is human dignity. The aim of this book is therefore to clarify how human dignity may be the guiding star in our lives. Hopefully that clarification will inspire the reader to lead an active, participative life both privately and publicly and see Democracy and Leadership as efficient vehicles to realize the good life on individual as well as community level.

The seer ("mantis"), an expert in the art of divination, operated in ancient Greek society through a combination of charismatic inspiration and diverse skills ranging from examining the livers of sacrificed animals to spirit possession. Unlike the palm readers and mediums who exist on the fringe of modern society, many seers were highly paid, well respected, educated members of the elite who played an essential role in the conduct of daily life, political decisions, and military campaigns. Armies, for example, never went anywhere without one. This engaging book, the only comprehensive study of this fascinating figure, enters into the socioreligious world of ancient Greece to explore what seers did, why they were so widely employed, and how their craft served as a viable and useful social practice.
