TL;DR: In the House of Fiction, the unhomely moment creeps up on you stealthily as your own shadow and suddenly you find yourself with Henry James's Isabel Archer "taking the measure of your dwelling" in a state of "incredulous terror." And it is at this point that the world first shrinks for Isabel and then expands enormously.
Abstract: In the House of Fiction you can hear, today, the deep stirring of the "unhomely." You must permit me this awkward word the unhomely because it captures something of the estranging sense of the relocation of the home and the world in an unhallowed place. To be unhomed is not to be homeless, nor can the "unhomely" be easily accommodated in that familiar division of social life into private and the public spheres. The unhomely moment creeps up on you stealthily as your own shadow and suddenly you find yourself with Henry James's Isabel Archer "taking the measure of your dwelling" in a state of "incredulous terror."' And it is at this point that the world first shrinks for Isabel and then expands enormously. As she struggles to survive the fathomless waters, the rushing torrents, James introduces us to the "unhomeliness" inherent in that rite of "extra-territorial" initiation the relations between the innocent

TL;DR: The authors analyzes the role of crise económica and financeira in the rise of the European Populism in the Shadow of the Great Recession, and identifies three características centrais do populism: a crença, a relação antagónica entre eles, and a lógica maniqueísta that valoriza positivamente o povo, ao mesmo tempo that deprecia a elite.
Abstract: European Populism in the Shadow of the Great Recession tem como objetivo analisar a forma como a recente crise económica e financeira potenciou o aumento do populismo na Europa. Os autores começam por reconhecer que o crescimento do populismo não é consequência apenas da crise, constituindo antes um processo de longo prazo, fruto do mau funcionamento da democracia representativa de um modo geral e, mais concretamente, dos sistemas partidários europeus, que deveriam desempenhar o papel de ligação entre cidadãos e processos de tomada de decisões políticas. Estes problemas, por sua vez, têm origens diferentes, consoante a região europeia que se considere. Na Europa Ocidental são consequência de uma redução da capacidade de mobilização dos partidos políticos mainstream, enquanto na Europa Central e de Leste resultam de os sistemas partidários dessa região nunca se terem chegado a institucionalizar, o que, aliado aos fortes sentimentos antielites que aí se fazem sentir, facilitou o aparecimento do populismo. Os autores chamam também a atenção para a necessidade de distinguir entre crise económica e crise política. Apesar de haver uma forte relação entre ambas e de muitos países terem sofrido tanto uma como outra, estas constituem fenómenos distintos a nível teórico e empírico, não devendo assim ser confundidos. Posto isto, a questão a que a obra procura responder é a de até que ponto estes dois tipos de crise agudizaram a tendência de longo prazo no sentido de um crescimento do populismo no espaço europeu. Desta forma, os autores começam por definir o seu objeto de estudo. Ainda que reconheçam que o populismo pode existir tanto enquanto ideologia como enquanto estratégia política, o seu interesse recai sobre a primeira. Assim, baseando-se no trabalho de Mudde (2004), identificam quatro características centrais do populismo enquanto ideologia: a crença na existência de dois grupos homogéneos — o “povo” e a “elite”; a relação antagónica entre eles; o foco na ideia de soberania popular; e uma lógica maniqueísta que valoriza positivamente o povo, ao mesmo tempo que deprecia a elite. No entanto, este núcleo central do populismo é algo “fino”, no sentido de ser incapaz de dar resposta a um conjunto alargado de questões políticas, o que faz com que muitas vezes seja combinado com ideologias mais “espessas”, como sejam o conservadorismo, à direita, ou o socialismo, à esquerda. Os autores referem-se também ao facto de o populismo ter uma visão bastante antiliberal da democracia, pese embora o seu foco na soberania popular. Tal acontece por três motivos: por o seu foco no governo popular, entendido de forma literal, levar a uma negação dos checks and balances que são centrais na conceção de democracia liberal; pela sua hostilidade a

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simple framework for understanding the evolution of the unofficial economy, and the links between both economies, highlighting the main characteristics of"officialdom,"contrasting conventional notions of"informal"or"shadow"economies, and focusing on what determines the decision to cross over from one segment to another.
Abstract: Over a third of economic activity in theformer Soviet countries was estimated to occur in the unofficial economy by the mid-1990s; in Central and Eastern Europe, the average is close to one-quarter. Intraregional variations are great: in some countries 10 to 15 percent of economic activity is unofficial, and in some more than half of it. The growth of unofficial activity in most post-socialist countries, and its mitigating effect on the decline in official output during the early stages of the transition, have been marked. In this paper, the authors challenge the conventional view of how post-socialist economies function by incorporating the unofficial economy into an analysis of the full economy. Then they advance a simple framework for understanding the evolution of the unofficial economy, and the links between both economies, highlighting the main characteristics of"officialdom,"contrasting conventional notions of"informal"or"shadow"economies, and focusing on what determines the decision to cross over from one segment to another. The initial empirical results seem to support hypothetical explanations of what determines the dynamics of the unofficial economy. The authors emphasize the speedy liberalization of markets, macro stability, and a stable and moderate tax regime. Although widespread, most"unofficialdom"in the region is found to be relatively shallow--subject to reversal by appropriate economic policies. The framework and evidence presented here have implications for measurement, forecasting, and policymaking--calling for even faster liberalization and privatization than already advocated. And the lessons in social protection and taxation policy differ from conventional advice.

TL;DR: The search for innovation needs to be organizationally separate and outside of the ongoing managerial business as discussed by the authors. But they are different tasks and one cannot simultaneously create the new and take care of what one already has.
Abstract: “The search for innovation needs to be organizationally separate and outside of the ongoing managerial business. Innovative organizations realize that one cannot simultaneously create the new and take care of what one already has. They realize that maintenance of the present business is far too big a task for the people in it to have much time for creating the new, the different business for tomorrow. They also realize that taking care of tomorrow is far too big and difficult a task to be diluted with concern for today. Both tasks have to be done. But they are different. Innovative organizations, therefore, put the new into separate organizational components concerned with the creation of the new.“—Peter Drucker
