Introduction to Radio or World Financial Orders

Introduction to Radio: Production and Programming

Author: Michael H Adams

Introduction to Radio: Production and Programming lays the groundwork early with a thorough introduction to basic terms and equipment. Students are then walked, step-by-step, through the production and programming processes. Once students have a "feel" for the systems, Adams and Massey explain why a radio station selects a specific programming format and then explains how to produce that programming.

World Financial Orders: An Historical International Political Economy

Author: Paul Langley

World Financial Orders challenges the predominance of neo-liberalism as a mode of knowledge about contemporary world finance, and claims that it neglects the social and political bases as well as the malign consequences of change. He looks to the field of International Political Economy (IPE) to construct an alternative mode, one that critically restores society and politics. An 'historical' approach to IPE is advanced that accounts for modern world finance since the seventeenth century as a succession of structurally distinct hierarchical social orders.
This book will be of interest to those working in the field of IPE and to those scholars, researchers and students from across the social sciences who seek to challenge the common-sense, neo-liberal explanation of contemporary world finance.
