The rise of populism across Europe and the US - first in the wake
of the 2008 global financial crisis and then in the shape of Donald
Trump's presidential campaign and the Brexit vote in 2016 - are
indicative of a seismic shift in the terrain of economic ideas in
public discourse. Settled liberal norms concerning ever-increasing
international market expansion, and the political integration
required to sustain it, have been decisively upset by political
forces that, whilst once on the fringes, now dominate economic
debate. How might we make sense of this ideological breakdown and
what might we hope for next? This book turns to the work of Karl
Polanyi for answers, developing the expansive, historicised
approach to political economy that Polanyi pioneered. Holmes
provides a wide-ranging history of economic ideas read in terms of
a series of hopeful theoretical visions of order, in which
political, social and ecological contradictions could be
transcended in one way or another. Through this, the book
demonstrates that the failing utopian visions of pre-2008 economic
orthodoxy, which have formed the backdrop to the rise of populism
today, are only the latest in a series that stretches across
economic thought in Western modernity as a whole. This book will
interest students and scholars of IPE, political science,
sociology, anthropology, law and history.
Shakespeare's works are now performed for an increasingly diversified cultural market. At the start of the twenty-first century, film, video and live performance have overtaken the printed book as the main ways in which people are introduced to Shakespeare. Therefore, is there any reason to ask people to read Shakespeare's plays anymore? The essays in this volume explore this question and the institutional practices that shape contemporary performances of Shakespeare's plays. The book gathers together a particularly strong line-up of contributors from across the literary-performative divide to examine the relationship between Shakespeare, the 'culture industries', modernism and live performance.
In 1945 the Labour Government set out to enable everyone to have a
decent home, where people from all walks of life could live
together. This dream was destroyed by a succession of avoidable
mistakes and almost everyone now seems to believe that it is
impossible to re-discover that vision, and that we must live in
divided communities of unequal wealth and opportunity. that have
caused this inequitable state: the folly of mass housing, the
forces of nimbyism, planning failures, inadequate new homes, the
collapse of affordable housing programmes, and the unfair tax
privileges of many home owners. development, planning, economic
structures, social reform, and political re-assessment to narrow
the gap between rich and poor and enabling people in all housing

The work of Karl Polanyi has become a central reference point for
scholars in a variety of traditions and disciplines within the
social sciences, including international relations, international
political economy, economic sociology and economic anthropology.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Polanyi's
political and economic thought by examining the key themes that run
throughout it: economic ideas, commodification, money, the gold
standard, geopolitical economy, the state, class, fascism,
democracy and knowledge. Each chapter introduces the relevant
aspects of Polanyi's writings, covering important terminology and
the position of the theme in relation to his work more broadly. The
contributions seek to engage critically with Polanyi's ideas,
analysing both the strengths and weaknesses, as well as
highlighting continuing points of relevance to contemporary issues
and debates. The book celebrates the diversity of Polanyi's
political and economic thought whilst encouraging the reader to see
it as a whole and not as a set of fragmented concepts. It is an
ideal introduction for students engaging with Polanyi's work for
the first time.

What did Zeus mean to the Greeks? And who was Hera, united with
Zeus historically and archetypally as if they were a human pair? C.
Kerenyi fills a gap in our knowledge of the religious history of
Europe by responding to these questions. Examining the word Zeus
and its Greek synonyms theos and daimon, the author traces the
origins of Greek religion in the Minoan-Mycenacan civilization. He
shows how Homer's view of the gods decisively shaped the literary
and artistic tradition of Greek divine mythology. The emergence of
the Olympian family is seen as the expression of a humane Zeus cult
determined by the father image but formed within the domain of
Hera. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
