Essential Joseph Schumpeter The...

Russell S. Sobel, Jason Clemens

Joseph Schumpeter is one of the most accomplished economists of the twentieth century. Included among his many contributions is his path-breaking work on entrepreneurship—one of the quintessential characteristics of all market economies. 
His timeless phrase describing the entrepreneurial process as one of “creative destruction” is likely second only to Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” in its daily use in popular tweets, blog posts, speeches, and articles. Renowned Chicago economist Jacob Viner praised Schumpeter’s History of Economic Analysis as “by a wide margin … the most brilliant contribution to the history of analytical phases of our discipline which has ever been made”. However, it is Schumpeter’s Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, in which Schumpeter describes the mechanisms—entrepreneurs, innovation, and capital reallocation—that drive the “incessant” recreation of capitalism that is by far his most popular and successful work.

Subtle Acts of Exclusion - How...

Anonymous

The first practical handbook that helps individuals and organizations recognize and prevent microaggressions so that all employees can feel a sense of belonging. 
 
Our workplaces and society are growing more diverse, but are we supporting inclusive cultures? While overt racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are relatively easy to spot, we cannot neglect the subtler everyday actions that normalize exclusion. Many have heard the term microaggression, but not everyone fully understands what they are or how to recognize them and stop them from happening. 
 
In this book, Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a clearer, more accessible term, subtle acts of exclusion, or SAEs, to emphasize the purpose and effects of these actions. After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive-usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, be funny, or build closeness. But whether in the form of exaggerated stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification, SAE are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. Jana and Baran give simple and clear tools to identify and address such acts, offering scripts and action plans for everybody involved: the subject, initiator, and observer. Knowing how to have these conversations in an open-minded, honest way will help us build trust and create stronger workplaces and healthier, happier people and communities.

Social Class and Mobility -...

Fred Grandsen

Social class and mobility are central concepts in understanding how societies function and evolve. The classification of individuals into different social classes based on income, occupation, education, and wealth shapes life experiences, opportunities, and access to resources. At the same time, social mobility—the ability of individuals or groups to move within a social hierarchy—determines whether societies remain rigidly stratified or allow for upward and downward movement. These dynamics influence economic stability, political structures, and cultural identities, making the study of social class and mobility essential for comprehending broader social patterns. 
Social class is typically divided into broad categories such as the upper class, middle class, working class, and lower class. Each class has distinct characteristics that define access to wealth, education, job opportunities, and social networks. For example, the upper class often benefits from inherited wealth and exclusive professional opportunities, while the working and lower classes may experience financial instability and limited career advancement. These disparities create divisions that influence daily life, from the quality of healthcare received to the neighborhoods people can afford to live in. 
Social mobility refers to changes in an individual’s or family’s social position over time. Mobility can be upward, where individuals improve their socioeconomic status, or downward, where they experience a decline. It can also be intergenerational, occurring across multiple generations, or intragenerational, happening within an individual’s lifetime. Various factors influence mobility, including education, economic conditions, public policies, and structural barriers such as discrimination or unequal access to opportunities.
