In this volume a diverse group of economists, philosophers, political scientists, and psychologists address the problems, principles, and practices involved in comparing the well-being of different individuals. A series of questions lie at the heart of this investigation: What is the relevant concept of well-being for the purposes of comparison? How could the comparisons be carried out for policy purposes? How are such comparisons made now? How do the difficulties involved in these comparisons affect the status of utilitarian theories? This collection constitutes the most advanced and comprehensive treatment of one of the cardinal issues in social theory

Merchants, companies, and trade : Europe and Asia in the early modern era( Book )

6 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 268 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

[T]his book throws new light, raises pertinent questions and takes up fresh perspectives on the growth and development of international trade between Europe and Asia, especially India, in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Through a comparative and comprehensive study of merchant communities, markets and commodities the individual authors argue, contrary to conventional views, that Asian merchants were in no way inferior to Europeans in terms of their commercial operations and business acumen. The book emphasises the continuing and growing importance of India's overland trade, even in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, traces the little-known world of Armenian merchants, the hitherto obscure, but voluminous, Indian trade with the Ottoman Empire, and by unearthing new evidence, demonstrates that the export activity of Asian merchants through the overland route from Bengal was higher, in fact, than the combined total of European exports

Prosody, models and measurements by Anne Cutler( Book )

3 editions published in 1983 in English and held by 234 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Prosody: Models and Measurements is the fruit of a three-day workshop held in Paris in April, 1982. The workshop was one of a series which is sponsored by the Maison des Sciences de I'Homme under the auspices of the European Psycho linguistics Association, and which aims to bring together workers in a particular field from different European laboratories and to encourage future collaboration across regional, national and disciplinary boundaries. Thus the topic of the workshop - "Prosody" - was fairly liberally interpreted in the invitations, and the participants were drawn from a variety of background- linguistics, phonetics, psychology. Despite this diversity, however, there was a surprising degree of congruence in the topics discussed and points of view adopted. We have attempted in the introduction to the present volume to as well as to account for the draw out the similarities between approaches, differences and to set the individual contributions against the background of current research in the field. The book is not merely a transcript of what was said during the sessions. All of the papers have been rewritten by the participants - in some cases extensively - to reflect the comments that were made in discussion and the points of contact and disagreement that became evident during the three days

Du site de l'éd.: Nouvelle revue, Socio n'est pas seulement une revue de sociologie, elle valorise la pluridisciplinarité, y compris l'histoire et encourage l'originalité.

Pour ce premier numéro, le dossier "Penser global" invite le lecteur à sortir du "nationalisme méthodologique", avec des articles de chercheurs étrangers, ou français. Dans sa rubrique Varia, Socio propose un article de Thibault Martin, qui examine les enjeux spécifiques de la recherche auprès de populations minoritaires, en l'occurence les "nations premières" - cet article donnera lieu, dans le prochain numéro, à un "droit de suite" exercé par deux chercheurs en désaccord avec ses analyses et ses propositions. Nancy Fraser propose une réflexion philosophique sur la justice. La rubrique "Etat de la question" est inaugurée par un texte d'Isabelle Berrebi-Hoffman portant sur les études culturelles contemporaines.
