English | 2019 | ISBN: 3749711623 | EPUB | pages: 312 | 0.6 mb
For the first time Ruegemer presents a typology of the new financial players who became dominant since the deregulation and the last financial crisis. Large capital organizers, private equity funds, hedgefonds, venture capital investors and private investment banks became much more influential as the traditional banks. These new financial players organize worldwide selling, buying and restructuring banks, companies and public enterprises. They exercise no responsibility against the national economic situation. Influencing governments and international financial institutions they lower the labour incomes and increase the part of private gains, also by using financial havens. They act in collaboration with law firms, rating and PR agencies, management consultants, chartered accountants and central banks. Ruegemer outlines the relations between the European Union and the USA concerning transatlantic capital, military and secret service interlocking and the open also as the latent conflicts. The book shows also the other way of capitalism under state directory in the People’s Republic of China: How the imported capitalism from the USA, Japan, Taiwan and western Europe is in the process of transformation. So the incomes of all classes and also especially the labour incomes are continually rising. China is shown with his alternative way of globalisation which is not accompanied by military expansion. Finally the book asks about the way of the human society if it follows the international law of the UNO and the human rights including social and labour rights.

Structural Linguistics in the 21st Century


Free Download Geoffrey Sampson, "Structural Linguistics in the 21st Century"
English | ISBN: 1036412598 | 2024 | 262 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book is a sequel to Geoffrey Sampson’s well-received textbook Schools of Linguistics. Linguistics changed around the millennium; the advent of cheap air travel and the internet meant that geographical distance ceased to be a barrier to scholarly interaction, so new developments are no longer grouped into separate "schools" located in different places. Consequently, the best way to show how linguistics is flowering in our time is through a sampler displaying individual examples of recent advances. Sampson offers such a sampler, describing two dozen of the most interesting innovations in the subject to have emerged in the present century. And he includes a few looks back at how the approaches described in Schools of Linguistics panned out in the closing years of the old century, before they evolved into―or made way for―today’s more realistic and more diverse linguistics.

Functional Analysis on the Eve of the 21st Century Volume I In Honor of the Eightieth Birthday of I.M. Gelfand


Free Download Functional Analysis on the Eve of the 21st Century: Volume I In Honor of the Eightieth Birthday of I.M. Gelfand By Kazuhiko Aomoto (auth.), Simon Gindikin, James Lepowsky, Robert L. Wilson (eds.)
1995 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1461287138 | PDF | 22 MB
These two volumes contain eighteen invited papers by distinguished mathematicians in honor of the eightieth birthday of Israel M. Gelfand, one of the most remarkable mathematicians of our time. Gelfand has played a crucial role in the development of functional analysis during the last half-century. His work and his philosophy have in fact helped shape our understanding of the term ‘functional analysis’. The papers in these volumes largely concern areas in which Gelfand has a very strong interest today, including geometric quantum field theory, representation theory, combinatorial structures underlying various ‘continuous’ constructions, quantum groups and geometry.The second of the two volumes contains the somewhat more ‘geometric’ papers, although such a designation is to a certain extent arbitrary, because of the breadth of the papers.
