{"product_id":"durable-economies-9783837663969","title":"Durable Economies: Organizing the Material Foundations of Society","description":"Leaking water infrastructures, heritage tourism, investments in artworks, failing electronics: Durability lies at the heart of a wide range of seemingly unrelated phenomena. In today's economies, which rest on ever-larger stocks of infrastructures, buildings, machinery and household goods, durable things are both a hugely significant source of wealth and a constant source of struggle. The contributors argue that a deeper engagement with durability is essential for reaching an understanding of how economies work; and for envisaging alternative economies built on principles of environmental stewardship and social justice. Placing durability at the core of economic analysis, this volume explores the work and tensions involved in the production and valuation of durability to outline a new agenda for more sustainable economies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Jaeger-Erben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837663965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837663969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Melanie Jaeger-Erben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159174967551,"sku":"9783837663969","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3c156a9-68c4-4067-acad-c9f6437028e2.jpg?v=1689081051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/durable-economies-9783837663969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
