Piketty Imagine: you are designing a society, but you don't know
who you'll be within it - rich or poor, man or woman, gay or
straight. What would you want that society to look like? This is
the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth
century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist
and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and
exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can
find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our
world today. Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as
his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately
irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally
reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect
free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of
politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to
fulfil their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and
which operates within the limits of our finite planet. This is a
book brimming with hope and possibility - a galvanising alternative
to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Free and Equal has the
potential not only to transform contemporary debate, but to offer a
touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to
come, cementing Rawls's place in political discourse, and firmly
establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.

This authoritative and up-to-date A-Z covers all aspects of
interpersonal, mass, and networked communication, including digital
and mobile media, advertising, journalism, and nonverbal
communication. This new edition is particularly focused on
expanding coverage of social media terms, to reflect its increasing
prominence to media and communication studies as a whole. More than
2,000 entries have been revised, and over 500 new terms have been
added to reflect current theoretical terminology, including
concepts such as artificial intelligence, cisgender, fake news,
hive mind, use theory, and wikiality. The dictionary also bridges
the gap between theory and practice, and contains many technical
terms that are relevant to the communication industry, including
dialogue editing, news aggregator, and primary colour correction.
The text is complemented by biographical notes and extensively
cross-referenced, while web links supplement the entries. It is an
indispensable guide for undergraduate students of media and
communication studies, and also for those taking related subjects
such as television studies, video production, communication design,
visual communication, marketing communications, semiotics, and
cultural studies.
