- grundlaget for morgendagens økonomi
242,95 kr. Jacksons bog med undertitlen Grundlaget for morgendagens økonomi er blevet en rettesnor for økonomer verden over, og en række af tidens mest indflydelsesrige samfundsdebattører anbefaler den, f.eks. Naomi Klein, Yanis Varoufakis, ærkebiskoppen i Canterbury og den økologiske økonomis første mand Herman Daly. Når den grønne revision af nationaløkonomien i dag oplever et gennembrud efter 30 års tilløb skyldes det, at Ressource-, miljø- og de såkaldte klimaproblemer i dag er i færd med at indhente os. Tim Jackson har i en årrække ledet den engelske bæredygtigheds–kommission (CUSP). Senere er han blevet tilknyttet Kommissionen i Bryssel, hvor han er beskæftiget med at rammesætte den efter-vækst økonomi, som bliver vores vilkår, sideløbende med at vi lægger, hvad Jackson kalder ”ødelæggelsernes økonomi” (den traditionelle neo-liberale vækstøkonomi) bag os. Den store udfordring for eftervækst-samfundene bliver, siger Jackson, at omstille økonomierne, således at opbremsningen af væksten bliver forenelig med en bevarelse af det almene velstandsniveau, uden at geråde i en situation som f.eks. i 1930’erne, hvor minus-væksten førte til økonomisk depression - til oprustning og krig. Kulturkamp: Som et led i den nødvendige” idemæssige” omstilling fremhæver Jackson, at begrænsninger og grænser - stedet for at betragtes i et universalistisk og ekspansionistisk perspektiv – som hæmninger, snarere må ses som nødvendige rammebetingelser for et bæredygtig ligevægtssamfund.

- Livet i post-kapitalismens tid
253,95 kr. Livet er underlagt fysiske og materielle begrænsninger, sådan er livet, sådan er verden. Begrænset og i skarp modsætning til den dominerende myte om ubegrænset vækst. Vi synes imidlertid låst fat i denne myte, i forbrugermentalitetens jernbur. Tidsalderens ideologi. Men vi har selv bygget buret. Skriver Tim Jackson – og bruger store dele af bogen på et videnskabeligt og lidenskabeligt opgør med denne myte.Jackson var i en årrække formand for den britiske Sustainable Development Commission, og han har siden, for Kommissionen i Bryssel udarbejdet mulige scenarier for en umiddelbar fremtid. En af bogens omdrejningspunkter er Robert Kennedys profetiske tale til studenterne i Kansas i 1968. Gennem analyser af så forskellige skikkelser som Thomas Aquinas, Stuart Mill, Hannah Arendt, Wangari Mathai, der startede en gen-beplantning i Østafrika for at reparere på kolonialismen, og Lynn Marquilis, der punkterede myten om evolutionen som survival of the fittest, argumenteres logikken om vækstens nødvendighed i stykker.Tim Jacksons analyser er helt centrale, fordi opgøret med vækstsamfundet er forudsætningen for at løse miljø- og klimaproblemerne.Dette Opgør er i fuld gang: lave eller negative vækstrater er, når vi ser bort fra casino- og finanskapitlernes digitale transaktioner, for længst blevet ”den ny normalitet”. Det amerikansk-genererede lykkeindeks har siden 1970 peget nedad!Verden efter væksten – livet i post-kapitalismens tid er en invitation til at lære og tage ved lære af historien og et forsøg på at formulere en optimistisk form for i morgen i den øjeåbnende bog.

93,95 kr. Vores liv er underlagt fysiske og materielle begrænsninger, sådan er livet, sådan er verden, begrænset og i skarp modsætning til den dominerende myte, myten om ubegrænset vækst. Vi er låst fast i denne myte, fanget i forbrugermentalitetens jernbur. Men vi har selv bygget buret ...Tim Jacksons "Verden efter væksten" er et både videnskabeligt og lidenskabeligt opgør med denne myte.Et af bogens omdrejningspunkter er Robert Kennedys profetiske tale til studenterne i Kansas i 1968. Og gennem analyser af værker af så forskellige skikkelser som Thomas Aquinas, Stuart Mill, Hannah Arendt og Lynn Margulis, der punkterede myten om evolutionen som ’survival of the fittest’, piller han kapitalismens logik, og altså myten om vækstens nødvendighed, fra hinanden.Opgøret med vækstsamfundet, som er en forudsætning for at løse miljø- og klimaproblemerne, er i fuld gang. De vestlige samfund har for længst lagt realøkonomisk vækst bag sig, lave eller negative vækstrater er for længst blevet den ’nye normalitet’. Kun casino-, finans- og digitale kapitaltransaktioner forvrænger billedet af den realøkonomiske væksts ophør."Verden efter væksten" er en invitation til at lære og tage ved lære af historien.Tim Jackson er professor i bæredygtig udvikling ved University of Surrey, Storbritannien, og samtidig leder af Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP). Han var i syv år økonomikommissær i den britiske Sustainable Development Commission, hvor hans arbejde kulminerede med udgivelsen af "Velstand uden vækst" (dansk udgave 2019), kåret af Financial Times som årets bog. Han har været rådgiver for EU-Kommissionen, ligesom han er forbundet med organisationen Forty Cities, der globalt arbejder for at imødegå skaderne og reparere på konsekvenserne af "ødelæggelsernes økonomi".Udover sit videnskabelige arbejde er Tim Jackson også en prisbelønnet dramatiker, der har skrevet adskillige radiodramaer for BBC.

318,95 kr. Named a Best Business Book by Business Week, Inside Intel is the gripping business saga of a company that rose to dominance through technological innovation, and maintained its leadership against competitors through aggressive marketing, tough business tactics, and liberal use of legal firepower.In his in-depth portrait of Intel, the first history/expose of the company, former Financial Times columnist Tim Jackson reveals that Intel's corporate culture is determinedly secretive and authoritarian, and the company retains its own force of private investigators to prevent its employees from going astray. Intel routinely uses the threat of lawsuits against workers and rivals.At the center of this story is Andy Grove, Intel's high-profile CEO and chairman, once a penniless immigrant who waited tables to put himself through college. It is Grove who has made the unpopular decisions which have kept Intel at the top of the chip market. Exhaustively researched from court records, unpublished documents, and interviews with Intel's competitors, partners, and past and present employees, Jackson traces the company's spectacular failures and successes, as well as the powerful human struggles that have made Intel one of the most competitive players in a high-stakes game.

1.133,95 kr. Syndicated cartoonist and illustrator Tim Jackson offers an unprecedented look at the rich yet largely untold story of African American cartoon artists. This book provides a historical record of the men and women who created seventy-plus comic strips, many editorial cartoons, and illustrations for articles. The volume covers the mid-1880s, the early years of the self-proclaimed black press, to 1968, when African American cartoon artists were accepted in the so-called mainstream.When the cartoon world was preparing to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the American comic strip, Jackson anticipated that books and articles published upon the anniversary would either exclude African American artists or feature only the three whose work appeared in mainstream newspapers after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968. Jackson was determined to make it impossible for critics and scholars to plead an ignorance of black cartoonists or to claim that there is no information on them. He began in 1997 cataloging biographies of African American cartoonists, illustrators, and graphic designers, and showing samples of their work. His research involved searching historic newspapers and magazines as well as books and "e;Who's Who"e; directories.This project strives not only to record the contributions of African American artists, but also to place them in full historical context. Revealed chronologically, these cartoons offer an invaluable perspective on American history of the black community during pivotal moments, including the Great Migration, race riots, the Great Depression, and both World Wars. Many of the greatest creators have already died, so Jackson recognizes the stakes in remembering them before this hidden yet vivid history is irretrievably lost.
