While Waiting For Rain: Community, Economy, And Law In A Time Of Change, John Henry Schlegel
While Waiting For Rain: Community, Economy, And Law In A Time Of Change, John Henry Schlegel
Books
What might a sensible community choose to do if its economy has fallen apart and becoming a ghost town is not an acceptable option? Unfortunately, answers to this question have long been measured against an implicit standard: the postwar economy of the 1950s. After showing why that economy provides an implausible standard—made possible by the lack of economic competition from the European and Asian countries, winners or losers, touched by the war—John Henry Schlegel attempts to answer the question of what to do.

Anti-Veiling Campaigns In Turkey: State, Society And Gender In The Early Republic, Sevgi Adak
Books
