View Rights PortalIn diesem Buch macht der heute in England lehrende Wirtschaftswissenschaftler A. G. Frank den Versuch, das Phänomen der Unterentwicklung mittels einer Analyse der geschichtlichen Formen von ökonomischer und politischer Abhängigkeit zu erfassen, und zwar anhand der drei großen Epochen des Merkantilismus (1500-1770), des Industriekapitalismus (1770-1870) und des Imperialismus (1870-1930). Für jede dieser Epochen untersucht der Autor die besondere Gestalt der Kapitalakkumulation, der »Tauschbeziehungen« zwischen Metropolen und Peripherie und der damit verbundenen »inneren Produktionsverhältnisse«, in denen die Abhängigkeit sich festsetzte. Auf jede dieser »historischen Darstellungen« folgt ein »theoretischer Exkurs«, in dem die jeweils entscheidenden Entwicklungsprobleme im Hinblick auf ihre Verarbeitung in den jeweiligen zeitgenössischen sozialökonomischen Erklärungen überprüft werden.
The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end. The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.
Das Dekameron, ein Novellenzyklus, den sich zehn Gäste eines bei Florenz gelegenen Landgutes während der Pestzeit erzählen, machte den Dichter weltberühmt. Andre Jolles schreibt in seiner Einleitung: »Wenige Bücher stehen in einem so schlechten Ruf - wenige sind so viel gelesen wie das Dekameron.«
