JONATHAN B. WIGHT
An Introduction to Moral
Frameworks
In Ethics in Economics , Jonathan B.
Wight provides an overview of the
role that ethical considerations play
in economic debates. Whereas much
of the field tends to focus on welfare
outcomes, Wight calls for a deeper
examination of the origin and evolution
of our moral norms. He argues that
economic life relies on three interrelated ethical systems: outcome-based,
duty- and rule-based, and virtue-based.
Wight provides a thorough and
accessible outline of all three schools,
explaining how they fit or contrast with
the economic welfare model, and then
uses these conceptual underpinnings to
examine a range of contemporary topics, such as the 2008 financial crisis, the
moral limits to markets, the findings
of experimental economics, and the
nature of economic justice. His analysis
is guided by the innovative concept
of ethical pluralismthe recognition
that each system has appropriate
applications, and that no one prevails.
This book is ideal for undergraduates
or uninitiated readers who seek an
introduction to this topic.

Robinson Jeffers
JAMES KARMAN
The precipitous cliffs, rolling headlands, and rocky inlets of the California coast come alive in the poetry
of John Robinson Jeffers, an icon of
the environmental movement. In
this concise and accessible biography,
Jeffers scholar James Karman reveals
deep insights into this passionate
and complex figure and establishes
Jeffers as a leading American poet of
prophetic vision.
At the height of his popularity in
the 1920s and 1930s, Jeffers became
one of the few poets ever featured
on the cover of Time magazine, and
posthumously put on a U.S. postage
stamp. Writing by kerosene lamp in a
granite tower that he had built himself,
his vivid and descriptive poetry of the
coast evoked the difficulty and beauty
of the wild and inspired photographers
such as Edward Weston and Ansel
Adams. Inspiring later artists from
Charles Bukowski to Czesaw Miosz
and even the Beach Boys, Robinson
Jeffers contribution to American letters is skillfully brought back out of the
shadows of history in this compelling
biography of a complex man of poetic
genius who wrote so powerfully of the
astonishing beauty of nature.

Rugged Consumerism in
Contemporary American Culture
In the age of Ikea Hackers and salvagepunks, this book charts the emergence
of rugged consumers who creatively
misuse, reuse, and repurpose the objects
within their environments to suit their
idiosyncratic needs and desires. Figures
of both literary and material culture
whose behavior evokes an American
can-do ethic, rugged consumers mediate
between older mythic models of selfsufficiency and the consumption-driven
realities of our passive, post-industrial
economy. Through their unorthodox
encounters with the material world, rugged consumers show that using objects
properly is a conventional behavior that
must be renewed and reinforced rather
than a naturalized process that persists
untroubled through time and space.
At the same time, this Utopian ideal is
rarely met: most examples of rugged
consumerism conceal rather than foreground the ideological problems to which
they respond and thus support or ignore
rather than challenge the structures of
late capitalist consumerism. By analyzing
convergences and divergences between
subjective material practices and collectivist politics, Raymond Malewitz shows
how rugged consumerism both recodes
and reflects the dynamic social history
of objects in the United States from the
1960s to the present.

Modern Hollywood is
dominated by a handful of
studios: Columbia, Disney,
Fox, Paramount, Universal,
and Warner Bros. Threatened
by independents in the 1970s,
they returned to power in the
1980s, ruled unquestioned
in the 1990s, and in the new
millennium are again beseiged. But in the heyday of this
new classical era, the major studios movies their stories
and styles were astonishingly precise biographies of the
studios that made them. Movies became product placements
for their studios, advertising them to the industry, to their
employees, and to the public at large. If we want to know how
studios workhow studios thinkwe need to watch their
films closely. How closely? Maniacally so. In a wide range
of examples, The Studios after the Studios explores the gaps
between story and backstory in order to excavate the hidden
history of Hollywoods second great studio era.
