How do capitalist institutions vary across countries and regions? How is capitalist diversity related to political and social factors like inequality, representation, and political systems? How do capitalist institutions shape economic outcomes?Comparative Capitalism takes a global approach to capitalist diversity. It considers not only liberal and coordinated market economies in the Global North, but also other varieties, such as networked, hierarchical, dependent and statist market economies in other parts of the world. It examines new models, such as growth regimes and growth models, and key trends such as the growing significance of finance and the rise of populism in the 21st century. Case studies are drawn from both the Global North and South, including East Central Europe, East Asia, Latin America, and the BRICS economies to highlight both domestic institutions and the role of economic integration on a global scale.Including tables and overviews of key features of each model, Comparative Capitalism is essential reading for students of international and comparative political economy, international development, and business–government relations.

A cold, sterile hospital room had been Matthias home for the early parts of his life, but soon an alien ship arrives in the Sol system bringing a message out to all humans: War is coming, And humanity needs to do their part. Matthias signs up to leave his mortal body behind to become a machine, escaping his shackled body and becoming the only thing capable of slowing down the Futility. But are the aliens his only foes, when humanity had fought each other for generations? Matthias must struggle to weave the complex web of politics and warfare to give humanity a chance of survival in this universe. For there are no other options.

There are no recipes in these books. Occasionally, in a fit of passion for a particular food, the author may foist upon the reader a version of how the thing might be prepared. This has not been encouraged in the writing of this series because, by consensus and common sense, street food is not - indeed, should not - be attempted at home.As with street food everywhere else, we move towards it because it's usually fast, cheap and easy to eat on the go. Usually. In the Caribbean it's not extraordinary to find a long, sluggish line or a seemingly impenetrable mob to get to your favourite vendor. But in so many ways, it's worth it. Street food is some of the best food you can get in these islands. Most of the famous Caribbean foods are street foods. Even if you can get them at restaurants, the best ones are usually roadside. Doubles and roti in Trinidad; jerk and pepper shrimp in Jamaica; everything you could want of and from a fish in Barbados.Expect crowds, accept less than pristine surroundings, be intrepid and you'll treat yourself to the best the Caribbean has to offer. The ambiance comes for free.
The Maintenance of Headway

The Maintenance of Headway

Magnus Mills

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

'It's a matter of procedure,' I explained. 'Strictly for the record. You don't get sacked from this job unless you did what Thompson did'. 'What did he do then'? 'We never mention it'. Enter the bizarre world of the bus driver, a strange but all too familiar universe in which 'the timetable' and 'the maintenance of headway' are sacred, but where the routes can change with the click of an inspector's fingers. This brilliant short novel is a gently absurd examination of the British bus system and its peculiarities, where the demands of the hapless passengers are virtually ignored and where it is fine to be a little bit late but utterly unforgivable to be a moment early.

'Tam and I took hold of Mr McCrindle and lowered him into the hole, feet first. We decided to leave his cap on'. Fencers Tam, Richie and their ever-exasperated English foreman are forced to move from rural Scotland to England for work. After a disastrous start involving a botched fence and an accidental murder, the three move to a damp caravan in Upper Bowland and soon find themselves in direct competition with the sinister Hall Brothers whose business enterprises seem to combine fencing, butchering and sausage-making. "The Restraint of Beasts" introduced readers to the now much-loved unique voice of Magnus Mills and his surreally comic world.

All of the Booker-shortlisted Magnus Mills' darkly comic and hugely entertaining short stories are here collected in one book for the first time‘Imagine The Office crossed with Brave New World ... hilarious' Express‘He has no literary precedent, and he also appears to have no imitators. He mines a seam that no one else touches on, every sentence in every book having a Magnus Mills ring to it that no other writer could produce' IndependentIn ‘Hark the Herald', a guest stays at an eerie guesthouse over Christmas without encountering any other residents, despite constant reassurance from the landlord that he would see them if only he arrived for breakfast slightly earlier; in ‘Only When the Sun Shines Brightly' Aesop's fable about a competition between the Sun and the Wind to get a man to take his coat off, gets a new look involving a railway arch, a builder and a piece of plastic sheeting.In ‘Once in a Blue Moon' a man arrives home to find the family house under siege, with his mother armed, dangerous and firing at the police with a shotgun, and attempts to appease her with an invitation to seasonal hospitality; and in the title story, rivalry between three cousins over a faulty toy gets out of hand as the cousins unwittingly imitate the toy they're fighting over.Magnus Mills has published two collections of stories - Only When the Sun Shines Brightly and Once in a Blue Moon - which are collected here for the first time, along with three new stories.

‘Mills's comedy shares its anthropological glee with The League of Gentlemen...This shouldn't be a speedy page-turner, but it is; light reading with real depth' Guardian‘Pythonesque ... Quirky, deadpan and quietly unhinged' ScotsmanLiving on a windy plain in a house made entirely from tin, a recluse's quiet life is transformed by the severely critical Mary Petrie who arrives unannounced with a trunk of her belongings in tow.As a procession of new houseguests begins, our narrator is put under pressure as his previously-isolated existence is turned on its head and he is forced to choose between a solitary life and joining the mass exodus of his neighbours...

A dark, surreally funny novel from the bestselling Booker Prize-shortlisted author‘Hilariously surreal. It's a bit like the Coen Brothers directing an Alan Bennett play... Fantastic' Daily Mirror‘Understatedly surreal, deadpan gothic, Mills is a master of the uncanny ... Such a fresh fictional voice' EsquireIt is the end of the summer. The tourists have already gone, and now the sun is abandoning the Lake District's damp valleys. Only a lone camper remains, enjoying the quiet. He plans to stay just long enough to prepare for a trip to the East.But then the owner of the campsite asks him to paint a fence and he innocently obliges. Soon other odd jobs pile up until little by little he becomes ensnared in the ominous ‘out-of-season'...

A Cruel Bird Came to the Nest and Looked In

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

A brilliant fantastical satire from the Booker-shortlisted author, reminiscent of the best of Jonathan Swift'Magnus Mills is Britain's most original writer, so forget everything you've been told about fiction - he has never even heard of the rules that apply to everyone else' The Times'A beautiful, singular book; funny and acutely observed' Independent Far away, in the ancient empire of Greater Fallowfields, things are falling apart. The imperial orchestra is presided over by a conductor who has never played a note, the clocks are changed constantly to ensure that the sun always sets at five o' clock, and the Astronomer Royal is only able to use the observatory telescope when he can find a sixpence to put in its slot.But while the kingdom drifts, awaiting the return of the young emperor, who has gone abroad and communicates only by penny post, a sinister and unfamiliar enemy is getting closer and closer...A Cruel Bird Came to the Nest and Looked In is Magnus Mills's most ambitious work to date. A surreal portrait of a world that, although strange and distant, contains rather too many similarities to our own for the alien not to become brilliantly familiar and disturbingly close to home. It is comic writing at its best - and it is Magnus Mills's most ambitious, enjoyable and rewarding novel to date.

The brilliant satirical novel by the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Restraint of Beasts‘To write one unique book is a rare achievement. The ability to produce several is truly special' Independent‘A demented, deadpan comic wonder' Thomas PynchonIt is the beginning of the century, and two teams of explorers are racing across a cold, windswept, deserted land to reach the furthest point from civilisation.It is, they find, ‘an awfully long way'. Johns and his men take the western route, along a rocky scree, gossiping, bickering and grumbling as they go.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2016'One of Britain's most original, inimitable writers' The Times'The field looks completely wrong now,' she announced, one blustery afternoon. ‘It’s all gone out of balance'The Great Field lies in the bend of a broad, meandering river. Bounded on three sides by water, on the fourth side it dwindles gradually into wilderness. A handful of tents are scattered far and wide across its immensity. Their flags flutter in the warm breeze, rich with the promise of halcyon days. But more and more people are setting up camp in the lush pastures and with each new arrival life becomes a little more complicated. And when a large and disciplined group arrive from across the river emotions run so high that even a surplus of milk pudding can’t soothe ruffled feathers. Change is coming; change that threatens the delicate balance of power in the Great Field.This simultaneously down to earth and surreal fable cements Magnus Mills’ status as one of Britain’s most original novelists.
