In the textile business or the toy business, lower wage costs are the key to profitability; if your competitors find a cheaper labour source, you either follow their example or go out of business. It is not, so the argument runs, because managers lack integrity or compassion that there are now more manufactur China and Europe, 1500 - 2000 and beyond 21L.015 Introduction to Media Studies (MIT) Cómo son las energías renovables (en español) Terapia manual de la espalda y ejercicio físico (2015) RES.21G-003 Learning Chinese: A Foundation Course in Mandarin (汉语基础教材) (MIT) Radio Lingua Network News: 26 September 2008 Making of Gypsy Diasporas Women of four wars: stories from the veteran's history project A Stress Test Of The Welfare State [Audio] Ping 239: Lumia 640XL, Xbox One March Update, Rock Band 4 and Office for Mac | Ping!

The meter down blog contains a collection of interviews (in Hindi), writing in English and audio feeds documenting a number of conversations with Bombay taxi drivers. The interviews are explorations into the issues of migration and are a collection of sub-altern voices in a city consumed with the narrative of globalisation and rapid change.

Marginalised for centuries and the subject of “many attempts” to theorise their origins, Gypsies’ own accounts of their ancestry have tended to be disregarded. This PDF document describes an AHRC-funded project aiming to provide “a comprehensive overview of Gypsies’ own versions of their diasporas”.

Speaker(s): Professor Tito Boeri | Editor's note: We apologise for the poor quality of this audio recording. How did the welfare state in Europe cope with the Great Recession and the Eurozone crisis?

This talk will address this issue, making reference, in particular, to the

A discussion of how largely well-intentioned political and legal reactions to the highest-profile risks of ICT creates a danger of perhaps killing the goose that is giving us golden eggs of innovation, decentralization, and personal empowerment. From its inception, many have recognized the Internet's potential as a liberating, decentralizing, and, yes, destabilizing technology but also its counter-potential as a controlling and centralizing technology. Over the last two decades, predictions abo
