Insiders and Outsiders Paradise and Reality in Mallorca


Free Download Jacqueline Waldren, "Insiders and Outsiders: Paradise and Reality in Mallorca "
English | ISBN: 1571818898 | | 292 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The indigenous population of DeiĆ  has lived side by side with increasing numbers of foreigners over the past century, and what has occurred there over this period offers an example of how the population of one Mediterranean village has gained full advantage from the economic opportunities opened up by foreign investments, without losing the fabric of social relations, the meaning and values of their culture. DeiĆ  has been able to continue as a community with its own symbolic boundaries and identity, not in spite of the outsiders (some of whom are well-known literary personalities, artists and musicians) but because of their presence. This study shows how, under the impact of wars, migration, national politics, global economic and technological developments and especially tourism, the categories of Insider and Outsider are contracted and expanded, and reinterpreted to fit the constantly changing "reality" of the society; they assume different meanings at different times. The conflicts and resulting compromises over a hundred-year period have provided a sense of history that allows each group to define, develop, adapt and sustain their sense of belonging to their own communities.

Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) are technologies of increasing importance in our society. In the field of mathematics education, these innovative technologies may offer a wide range of opportunities to support immersive, individual, and active learning processes. At the same time, many new challenges arise that need to be mastered by teachers and students in the classroom. With this book we want to contribute to the discourse by presenting innovative insights by bringing parties from research and practice together. The papers cover a wide range of relevant topics including cooperation and communication, STEM and modelling, development and application of design criteria, spatial geometry and imagination or teacher-trainings. The contributions include in-depth theoretical considerations, concrete developed applications and learning environments, and findings from empirical studies.

THEORY AND REALITY IN FINANCIAL ECONOMICS ESSAYS TOWARD A NEW POLITICAL FINANCE


Free Download George M Frankfurter, "THEORY AND REALITY IN FINANCIAL ECONOMICS: ESSAYS TOWARD A NEW POLITICAL FINANCE"
English | ISBN: 9812707913 | 2007 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The current literature on financial economics is dominated by neoclassical dogma and, supposedly, the notion of value-neutrality. However, the failure of neoclassical economics to deal with real financial phenomena suggests that this might be too simplistic of an approach.This book consists of a collection of essays dealing with financial markets’ imperfections, and the inability of neoclassical economics to deal with such imperfections. Its central argument is that financial economics, as based on the tenets of neoclassical economics, cannot answer or solve the real-life problems that people face. It also shows the direct relationship between economics and politics – something that is usually denied in academic models, given that science is supposed to be value-neutral. In this thought-provoking and avant-garde book, the author not only exposes what has gone wrong, but also suggests reforms to both the academic and the political-economic systems that might help make markets fair rather than efficient. Drawing on interdisciplinary fields, this book will appeal to readers who are interested in finance, economics, business, the political economy and philosophy.
