The Empty Raincoat:
Making Sense Of The
Future
£8.09
* Can you find the way to Davy's bar? * Do you know the Doughnut principal? * How do you make a Chinese contract? The changes which Charles Handy foresaw in THE AGE OF UNREASON are happening. Endless growth can make a candyfloss economy, & capitalism must be its own sternest critic. Handy reaches here for a philosophy beyond the mechanics of business organisations, beyond material choices, to try & establish an alternative universe where the work ethics can contain a natural sense of continuity, connections & a sense of direction. We are now a world of shareholders, but everyone has a stake in the furure. With warmth, wit & the most challenging insights, Charles Handy seeks to turn paradox into real progress. ...

The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today

Indian art has gone through a boom period in parallel with the extraordinary economic rise of the subcontinent from an agrarian state to a high tech axis of the new global economy. With new money came a new gallery system. With bigger spaces came bigger art and the sheer scale of ambition led to a break into the international market, which is always keen to find a new spectacular presence in the art world. The new art has also been created against a background of communal tension and violence. The exploration of identity, a common enterprise for artists internationally, is all the more challenging in the context of India under transformation. Above all Indian artists are faced with the legacy of their history and the ghosts of the Raj.
