Exploring how green finance has become a key strategy for the
financial industry in the wake of the 2007-08 financial crisis,
this timely book critically assesses the current dominant forms of
neoliberal green finance. Understanding Green Finance delivers a
pioneering analysis of the topic, covering the essential tenets of
green finance with an emphasis on critical approaches to mainstream
views and presenting alternatives insights and perspectives. This
prescient book first introduces the concept of, and current
approaches to, green finance and green monetary policy, ultimately
presenting a range of potential alternatives including both
reformist and transformative-progressive approaches. Chapters
explore how neoliberal green finance tends to deepen
financialisation, and does not effectively address environmental
problems, offering insights into reformist forms of green finance
that insist that state regulation and public financing are crucial
to tackling environmental problems. A crucial contribution to the
debate surrounding the financial industry’s role in addressing
the environmental crisis, this book will be beneficial for
academics and students with an interest in environmental,
ecological and financial economics. The accessible writing style
will also prove valuable for policy makers, civil society
professionals and financial and sustainability experts.
From hungry ghosts, vampiric babies, and shapeshifting fox spirits
to the avenging White Lady of urban legend, for generations, Asian
women’s roles have been shaped and defined through myth and
story. In Unquiet Spirits, Asian writers of horror reflect on the
impact of superstition, spirits, and the supernatural in this
unique collection of 21 personal essays exploring themes of
otherness, identity, expectation, duty, and loss, and leading,
ultimately, to understanding and empowerment.
The night represents almost universally a special, liminal or "out
of the ordinary" temporal zone with its own meanings, possibilities
and dangers, and political, cultural, religious and social
implications. Only in the modern era was the night systematically
"colonised" and nocturnal activity "normalised," in terms of
(industrial) labour and production processes. Although the
globalised 24/7 economy is usually seen as the outcome of
capitalist modernisation, development and expansion starting in the
late nineteenth century, other consecutive and more recent
political and economic systems adopted perpetual production systems
as well, extending work into the night and forcing workers to work
the "night shift," normalising it as part of an alternative
non-capitalist modernity. This volume draws attention to the
extended work hours and night shift work, which have remained
underexplored in the history of labour and the social science
literature. By describing and comparing various political and
economic "regimes," it argues that, from the viewpoint of global
labour history, night labour and the spread of 24/7 production and
services should not be seen, only and exclusively, as an
epiphenomenon of capitalist production, but rather as one of the
outcomes of industrial modernity.
