Book Description
In memoriam Gérard Gayot. Las asociaciones de Historia Económica española y francesa constituyeron en 2006 un comité encargado de celebrar encuentros periódicos que fomentaran el intercambio de ideas y métodos, la creación de redes de investigación y los estudios de historia comparada. El comité organizó un coloquio sobre "Niveles de vida en España y Francia (siglos XVIII al XX)" que se celebró en 2008 en Aix-en-Provence con la colaboración de la UMR (Unité Mixte de Recherche) TELEMME (Université de Provence-CNRS). Este libro reúne las 15 ponencias presentadas y está dedicado a la memoria de Gérard Gayot, presidente de la asociación francesa y miembro del comité, que falleció poco después del coloquio. Las ponencias están escritas por especialistas españoles y franceses y abarcan el período fines del Antiguo Régimen - fines del siglo XX desde múltiples perspectivas: salarios (Moreno Lázaro y Ventoso); consumo (Cussó y Daumas); mortalidad (Nicolau); estatura (García Montero, Martínez Carrión y Puche Gil, Heyberger); coste de la vida (Maluquer de Motes); crédito (Effose); distribución de la renta (Gayot y Kasdi, Buti); influencia de las instituciones y estructuras agrarias en el bienestar campesino (Pérez Picazo); papel de las divisas francesas en el crecimiento económico de España entre 1960 y 1975 (Sánchez Sánchez); análisis de la evolución del nivel de vida "cruzando" varios indicadores (Escudero y Simón) y también una aproximación teórica a la cuantificación de la desigualdad basada en la hipótesis de que es producto de convenciones y, por consiguiente, mensurable desde otras alternativas a la visión del economista (Kampelmann). Los editores del libro esperamos que contribuya a un mejor conocimiento de las diferencias de bienestar que han existido entre España y Francia y que resulte útil no sólo a los profesionales de la Historia, sino a estudiantes universitarios de Historia, Economía y otras ciencias sociales así como al público culto en general. Gérard Chastagaret es catedrático de Historia en la universidad de Provence (Aix- Marseille) ; Jean Claude Daumas es catedrático de Historia en la universidad de Franche-Comté; Antonio Escudero es catedrático de Historia Económica en la universidad de Alicante y Olivier Raveux es investigador del Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

Inequality and Nutritional Transition in Economic History
Author: Francisco J. Medina-Albaladejo
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000864510
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Food consumption and nutrition are historically among the most characteristic features of inequality in living standards driven by socioeconomic, gender, generational and geographical reasons. Nutrition directly impacts mortality, life expectancy, height and illness and thus becomes a good indicator of living standards and their evolution over time. However, one issue that remains unresolved is how to measure past diet inequalities with the available sources. This book evaluates nutritional inequalities in Spain from the nineteenth century to the present day. It explores the socioeconomic, gender, generational and geographical variations in food consumption and nutrition in Spain during this period. Deriving historical data on nutrition and diet has always been difficult due to issues with available sources. This book adopts a multi-dimensional approach and two complementary methodologies capable of presenting a more comprehensive picture: the first analyses diets based on primary sources, while the second examines the effect of nutritional inequalities on biological living standards, with special emphasis on average height. This combination allows for greater precision than previous studies on the impacts of food inequality. This book will be of significant interest to scholars from different academic branches, especially historians, economic historians and historians of science, economists, and also doctors, endocrinologists, paediatricians, anthropologists, nutritionists and expert in cooperation and development.

Politics, Statistics and Weather Forecasting, 1840-1910
Author: Aitor Anduaga
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000145069
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Weather forecasting is the most visible branch of meteorology and has its modern roots in the nineteenth century when scientists redefined meteorology in the way weather forecasts were made, developing maps of isobars, or lines of equal atmospheric pressure, as the main forecasting tool. This book is the history of how weather forecasting was moulded and modelled by the processes of nation-state building and statistics in the Western world.

Category : Business & Economics

Pages : 748
Book Description
The question of consumption emerged as a major focus of research and scholarship in the 1990s but the breadth and diversity of consumer culture has not been fully enough explored.

The SAGE Handbook of Consumer Culture is a one-stop resource for scholars and students of consumption, where the key dimensions of consumer culture are critically discussed and articulated. The editors have organised contributions from a global and interdisciplinary team of scholars into six key sections: Part 1: Sociology of Consumption Part 2: Geographies of Consumer Culture Part 3: Consumer Culture Studies in Marketing Part 4: Consumer Culture in Media and Cultural Studies Part 5: Material Cultures of Consumption Part 6: The Politics of Consumer Culture

Franco's Famine
Author: Miguel Ángel del Arco Blanco
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350174653
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
At least 200,000 people died from hunger or malnutrition-related diseases in Spain during the 1940s. This book provides a political explanation for the famine and brings together a broad range of academics based in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia to achieve this. Topics include the political causes of the famine, the physical and social consequences, the ways Spaniards tried to survive, the regime's reluctance to accept international relief, the politics of cooking at a time of famine, and the memory of the famine. The volume challenges the silence and misrepresentation that still surround the famine. It reveals the reality of how people perished in Spain because the Francoist authorities instituted a policy of food self-sufficiency (or autarky): a system of price regulation which placed restrictions on transport as well as food sales. The contributors trace the massive decline in food production which followed, the hoarding which took place on an enormous scale and the vast and deeply iniquitous black market that subsequently flourished at a time when salaries plunged to 50% below their levels in 1936: all contributing factors in the large-scale atrocity explored fully here for the first time.
