Privilege has long been understood as the constitutional basis of Ancien Regime France, legalizing the provision of a variety of rights, powers and exemptions to some, whilst denying them to others. In this fascinating new study however, Jeff Horn reveals that Bourbon officials utilized privilege as an instrument of economic development, freeing some sectors of the economy from pre-existing privileges and regulations, while protecting others. He explores both government policies and the innovations of entrepreneurs, workers, inventors and customers to uncover the lived experience of economic development from the Fronde to the Restoration. He shows how, influenced by Enlightenment thought, the regime increasingly resorted to concepts of liberty to defend privilege as a policy tool. The book offers important new insights into debates about the impact of privilege on early industrialization, comparative economic development and the outbreak of the French Revolution.

Years after Peterloo in 1819, the man that led the charge, Hugh Hornby Birley, renowned businessman and main employer in Little Ireland, remained the most hated man in the town.

"This book was written late in the North American night, with the rumbling thuds and booming train horns of the nearby rail yard echoing through my windows, reminding me of the train hoppers and gutter punks out there rolling through the darkness." In Drift, Jeff Ferrell shows how dislocation and disorientation can become phenomena in their own right. Examining the history of drifting, he situates contemporary drift within today's economic, legal, and cultural dynamics. He also highlights a distinctly North American form of drift--that of the train-hopping hobo--by tracing the hobo's legal and political history and by detailing his own immersion in the world of contemporary train-hoppers. Along the way, Ferrell sheds light on the ephemeral intensity of drifting communities and explores the contested politics of drift: the strategies that legal authorities employ to control drifters in the interest of economic development, the social and spatial dislocations that these strategies ironically exacerbate, and the ways in which drifters create their own slippery forms of resistance. Ferrell concludes that drift constitutes a necessary subject of social inquiry and a way of revitalizing social inquiry itself, offering as it does new models for knowing and engaging with the contemporary world.

Individualterapi er den mest utbredte behandlingsformen innen psykisk helsevern. Den har et enkelt utgangspunkt: To personer, to stoler. En som søker hjelp, en som tilbyr hjelp. Deretter følger en samtale, fortrinnsvis om det som gjør vondt i livet, hvor partene gjerne blir enige om hvordan agendaen for timen skal være; hva man skal arbeide med, og på hvilken måte. Herfra går det i utallige ulike retninger – selv ikke i pakkeforløpet blir to forløp helt like. Det ligger i individualterapiens natur at behandlingen må tilpasses det enkelte individ. Psykoterapi handler om å frembringe ønskelige endringer i følelser, tanker, ideer, samspillsmønstre og relasjoner. Terapeutiske samtaler vil nødvendigvis også handle om verdivalg og eksistensielle valg i den enkeltes liv. Psykoterapi har derfor en dyptgripende etisk dimensjon som omfatter både terapeuten og de ulike terapimodellene eller -retningene som legges til grunn: Begge får stor betydning for forløpet og utfallet. Håndbok i individualterapi består av 27 kapitler fordelt på to deler. Del 1 gir en bred introduksjon og tar for seg temaer som historikk, utdanning og felles virkningsfaktorer, mens del 2 presenterer 17 ulike metoder og tilnærminger som kan sorteres under hovedmodellene kognitiv atferdsterapi, psykodynamisk terapi, humanistisk terapi, eksistensiell terapi og systemisk terapi.
