{"product_id":"culture-and-well-being-alberto-corsin-jimenez-9780745326801","title":"Culture and Well-Being: Anthropological Approaches to Freedom and Political Ethics","description":"The concept of well-being has emerged as a key category of social and political thought, especially in the fields of moral and political philosophy, development studies and economics. This book takes a critical look at the notion of well-being by examining what well-being means, or could mean, to people living in a number of different regions including Sudan, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, India, Sierra Leone and the UK. The contributors take issue with some of the assumptions behind Western concepts of well-being. They explore what characterises a 'good life' and how this idea has been affected by globalisation and neoliberalism. The book makes a major contribution to social theory by presenting new analytical models that make sense of the changing shapes of people's life and ethical values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Corsin Jimenez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745326803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745326801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.65h x 5.80w x 0.76d","brand":"Alberto Corsin Jimenez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896465121535,"sku":"9780745326801","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e007103-bd31-4ff7-a245-72ae98acf5d5.jpg?v=1721371478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-and-well-being-alberto-corsin-jimenez-9780745326801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
