It discusses the revolution of the changing role of the Lebanese woman from being a mother and a wife, to being an important contributor to the economic growth. It highlights the effective</em><em> </em><em>impact of this changing role on the family stability, following the Lebanese woman integration into the working force which results in decreasing the dependency on the male partner in providing essential family needs.</em></p><p><em>Furthermore, this paper tackles the cultural differences among Lebanese women,</em><em> </em><em>the ambitions, the values, and the</em><em> </em><em>priorities of Lebanese women. It touches also on the economic empowerment of woman, who plays a significant role in facilitating the achievement of a higher level of economic welfare. However,</em><em> </em><em>the main focus of this paper is on the socio-economic role of the woman in the global environment where material needs have become a priority and an ultimate value.</em></p><p><em>Questions which to be addressed by this paper are</em><em>:</em><em> should oriental women devote their lives to material gains even if it is done at the expense of the family life? How economically important to promote the women’s role as leaders and managers fully devoted to economic growth and money earnings? Are working women economically independent?</em></p>

The Relationship

This chapter analyzes food’s role in the dramatic economic growth of both socialist East Germany and capitalist West Germany during the 1950s and 1960s. It explores food’s impact on industrial productivity by looking at the changing role of canteens in German society, highlighting the role played by industrial canteens in the shaping of class relations. It also looks at the relationship between food and the consumer economy by exploring efforts to optimize grocery shopping. This comparative analysis shows that the profoundly gendered activity of shopping for food has shaped women’s economic roles in socialism as well as capitalism. Exploring grocery markets and canteens as gendered and classed sites reveal that food is central to the growth of both socialist and capitalist economies, while at the same time arguing that individual food consumption and production always prove impossible to adequately optimize.

We study the relation between trust and economic growth. We explore the history of the topic and conduct empirical analysis using all the available data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study, including data for the recent years. We show that results of the classic models that establish positive relation between trust and economic growth do not replicate on the most recent data. Moreover, neither use of alternative indicators of trust, nor dividing the countries into the groups depending on institutional quality yields to the appearance of relation. We discuss possible reasons for the absence of relation between trust and economic growth in the recent years, in particular, the changing role of trust in the modern world, and point to the importance of more detailed exploration of the mechanisms of relation between trust and economic growth.

Changing Role

This chapter examines patterns of structural transformation in Latin America, with particular emphasis on the changing role of industrialization and export structures in the region’s development process. The discussion draws on the notion of ‘dynamic efficiency’—that the capacity to constantly generate new dynamic activities, with increasing knowledge contents, is the key to rapid economic growth. The chapter first provides an overview of the commodity export age before analysing the period of rapid industrialization termed ‘state-led industrialization’. It then considers the process of structural change during the period of market reforms, specifically the long de-industrialization that it generated and the more recent re-primarization of the region’s export structure. It shows that state-led industrialization was a period of success for Latin American economies in terms of structural transformation and economic growth, whereas market reforms have been associated with slow economic growth.

Economic Context

Abstract. What narrative is deemed most compelling to justify anti-immigrant sentiments when a country’s economy is not a cause for concern? We predicted that flourishing economies constrain the viability of realistic threat arguments. We found support for this prediction in an experiment in which participants were asked to take on the role of speechwriter for a leader with an anti-immigrant message (N = 75). As predicted, a greater percentage of realistic threat arguments and fewer symbolic threat arguments were generated in a condition in which the economy was expected to decline than when it was expected to grow or a baseline condition. Perhaps more interesting, in the economic growth condition, the percentage realistic entitlements and symbolic threat arguments generated were higher than when the economy was declining. We conclude that threat narratives to provide a legitimizing discourse for anti-immigrant sentiments are tailored to the economic context.
