Trust
Do you know the author of this book? Maybe not. But you probably trust him anyway. Most Danes do: as many as 78%. Even people who do not know him at all trust him. He is in fact not just anyone; he has solved the riddle of Denmark's success - until now an inexplicable mystery. The answer is simple. It is the Danes' trust in him and everyone else they do not know which is Denmark's most important raw material. It makes the country one of the richest in the world. - his name? Gert Thinggard Svendsen, trust expert at the University of Aarhus, and he says: Control is good, but trust is cheaper.
The Creation and Destruction of Social Capital
Social capital and trust matter in the real world, say Gunnar (U. of Southern Denmark) and Gert (economics, Aarhus School of Business), but discussion of them is missing from the literature on economic growth and welfare in economics. They investigate how social capital is created and destroyed through an interdisciplinary approach combining politi
Trust
A brief but engaging look at the importance of trust. Gert Tinggaard Svendsen explores how to cultivate this elusive feeling—and why developing trust is so important for maintaining a happy, stable, and economically sound society. Without it, societies become more corrupt and legal systems cannot guarantee justice. Why do Nordic countries like Denmark score so highly in trust and happiness levels and so low in levels of corruption—and how can other countries replicate these stats for the good of their people? Higher levels of trust often translate to more cooperation and social responsibility, advantages in economic growth and social stability, and happier workplaces. Tinggard Svendsen's...

The Creation and Destruction of Social Capital
'The book offers a coherent historical and interdisciplinary perspective on social capital that is illustrated through the emergence and decline of cooperative movements in Denmark (and Poland). The strength of the book lies in its ability to provide an interdisciplinary account of social capital, which, unlike many neoclassical studies of social capital, does not attempt to quantify the concept to make it fit traditional econometric regressions.' - Quentin M.H. Duroy, Heterodox Economics Newsletter
Public Choice and Environmental Regulation
Explores the proper economic instruments necessary to implement environmental regulation in the context of the attempts to abate CO2 emissions. Two alternative methods for controlling emissions are studied--tradable permits and taxation--and case studies from Europe and the U.S. are examined. After applying environmental economic theory and public choice theory to the analysis of these methods, the author proposes a model that incorporates elements of both methods.

Social Trust in the Nordic World
Study after study has shown that Scandinavia is the most trusting region in the world. Danes in particular trust other people and organizations--including strangers, businesses, governments, law enforcement, and media--more than the citizens of any other country. And countries with deep pools of social trust are populated by individuals who cooperate with each other in ways that allow public and private institutions to function more efficiently and cheaply. Is the Nordic countries' high level of social trust just as important for creating prosperity and happiness within a population as other, more tangible economic factors? If so, where does this stock of social trust in Scandinavia come fro...

After Bourdieu
critical evaluations of his work, notably papers by Rodney Benson, 4 Rogers Brubaker, Nick Crossley, and John Myles. Indeed, it is the 1985 article by Rogers Brubaker that can truly be said to have served as one of the best introductions to Bourdieu’s thought for the American social scienti?c public. It is for this reason that we include it in the present collection. Intellectual origins & orientations We begin by providing an overview of Bourdieu’s life as a scholar and a public intellectual. The numerous obituaries and memorial tributes that have appeared following Bourdieu’s untimely death have revealed something of his life and career, but few have stressed the intersection of his ...
The Oxford Handbook of Danish Politics
The Oxford Handbook of Danish Politics provides the most comprehensive and thorough English language book on Danish politics ever written. It features chapters by 50 leading experts who have contributed extensively to the field they write about. Why is Denmark an interesting topic for a Handbook? In some respects, Danish political institutions and political life are very similar to that of other small, North European countries such as the other Scandinavian countries and Netherland. However, in other respects, Danish politics is interesting in its own right. For instance, Denmark has a world record in minority governments. According to standard scholarly knowledge, this should result in unst...
