Beschreibung

In "Robinson Crusoe's Money," David Ames Wells explores the intricate relationship between economics and literature, drawing on Daniel Defoe's iconic character, Robinson Crusoe. Through a blend of narrative analysis and economic theory, Wells engages with the themes of self-sufficiency, capitalism, and consumerism as experienced by Crusoe on his isolated island. The book showcases Wells's unique literary style, infusing academic rigor with accessible prose, compelling readers to reconsider Defoe's work within the context of 19th-century economic thought and the rise of individualism in capitalist societies. David Ames Wells was a prominent economist and social reformer in the 19th century, known for his insights into taxation and educational reform. His background in both economics and literature provided him a unique lens through which to interpret Defoe'Äôs work. Drawing from his experiences and the socio-economic currents of his time, Wells sheds light on how Crusoe's financial autonomy parallels broader societal shifts toward individual wealth and autonomy, thereby illustrating how literature can inform economic understanding. This book is essential for scholars of literature and economics alike, as it invites readers to engage with familiar texts in innovative ways. Wells's arguments challenge conventional interpretations and enrich discussions about the role of literature in shaping economic ideologies, making "Robinson Crusoe's Money" a crucial text for anyone interested in the intersections of these fields.

    From the best-selling author of Cardinal comes a searing examination of the power imbalance in our legal system - where exposing the truth is never guaranteed and, for victims, justice is often elusive. 
     
    A masterful and deeply troubling expose, Witness is the culmination of five years' research for award-winning investigative journalist Louise Milligan. 
    Throughout her career charting the experiences of people who have the courage to come forward to police and then look to find justice in court, Milligan has watched how witnesses are treated (or, too frequently, mistreated) in the courtroom. They have described to her how they relive the associated trauma, often years later. Then, she saw this first-hand when she became a witness and was cross-examined herself in the trial of the decade, R v George Pell. 
    Never-before-published court transcripts expose widespread systemic flaws. And through a combination of extraordinarily candid interviews with defence counsel, prosecutors and even judges, and the heartbreaking stories of witnesses in a number of high-profile cases, the brutal reality of the system is laid bare. 
    Revealing the devastating effects of an adversarial legal system that can be sexist, callous and too often weighted towards the rich and powerful, Milligan also highlights its failure to protect the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. In detailing these flaws and the ongoing human cost, Witness is a compelling call for change.
