Saving Capitalism - For The Many Not The Few

Robert Reich

Casa editrice: Icon Books

Sinossi

'A very good guide to the state we’re in' Paul Krugman, New York Review of Books

'A well-written, thought-provoking book by one of America’s leading economic thinkers and progressive champions.' Huffington Post

Do you recall a time when the income of a single schoolteacher or baker or salesman or mechanic was enough to buy a home, have two cars, and raise a family?

Robert Reich does – in the 1950s his father sold clothes to factory workers and the family earnt enough to live comfortably. Today, this middle class is rapidly shrinking: American income inequality and wealth disparity is the greatest it’s been in eighty years.

As Reich, who served in three US administrations, shows, the threat to capitalism is no longer communism or fascism but a steady undermining of the trust modern societies need for growth and stability.
With an exclusive chapter for Icon’s edition, Saving Capitalism is passionate yet practical, sweeping yet exactingly argued, a revelatory indictment of the economic status quo and an empowering call to action.

Etienne Wenger and Jean Laves'...

Macat, Jean Lave, Etienne Wenger

In Situated Learning, Lave and Wenger rejected the traditional understanding of learning, or cognition, as something that happens inside an individual brain.They argued, instead, that learning is ‘situated’ because it is largely a product of the environment in which it occurs and takes place most effectively through participation with experts and peers in a ‘community of practice.’ They used this insight to develop a theoretical basis for the concept of apprenticeship, using examples of five very different communities of practice.Though not the first to challenge cognitive learning theory their alternate model of learning through social practice has been broadly influential.
