research subjects include Greek that, while conceiving his critique of democracy, Plato has a
history and political thought. clear perception of its development and elements. A further ob-
jective is to demonstrate how he draws on democratic ideology
to advance his own political theory. Accordingly, this book will
expose numerous intertextual connections of Plato with other
authors of this epoch. The first and greater part of this study
reveals how in the “Gorgias” Plato gives a detailed account on
the process of democratic man’s transformation into tyranni-
cal man. The second part examines the parallels between this
dialogue and the “Republic”. Thus, Plato’s intimate knowledge
of democratic ideology shows that his criticism of phenomena
such as absolute freedom, demagoguery (populism), glorifica-
tion of power, traditional politics etc. remains relevant.

Austria-Hungary and Italy (1914–1925)
Beiträge zur Wirtschafts- und sozialgeschichte –
vol. 134
All the countries that took part in the First World War had to
deal with more or less intense inflation. There were many un-
derlying causes of this phenomenon: expansion of the money
supply because of a need to finance a rapid growth in public
spending; intense exploitation of production factors connected
with the war economy; problems of production and transpor-
tation; and turmoil on the international commodity and capital
markets. This had major consequences for the distribution of
wealth, for investments and for growth, as well as repercussions
on the political sphere.
Of all the countries involved, two direct opponents – Austria-
Hungary and successor states and the Kingdom of Italy – both
during and after the conflict, had particularly severe effects of
high inflation. The essays collected in this volume aim to descri-
be and explain, in a comparative perspective, the inflationary
dynamics in the two states, focusing also on the political and so-
cial effects of the phenomenon and on the measures put in place
to contain it. In this way, certain points emerge that contribute
to enriching the interpretative framework on the course of the
conflict and on the difficulties of the post-war period, highligh-
ting the role played by politicians, bankers, entrepreneurs and
economists.

Spaces of neoliberalization:
towards a theory of uneven
geographical development
In this second edition of essays David Harvey searches for ade-
quate conceptualizations of space and of uneven geographical
development that will help to understand the new historical
geography of global capitalism.
The theory of uneven geographical development needs further
examination: The extreme volatility in contemporary political
economic fortunes across and between spaces of the world
economy cries out for better historical-geographical analysis
and theoretical interpretation. The political necessity is just as
urgent since social inequalities have increased in recent de-
cades. Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the develop-
ing world with devastating results from Mexico to Indonesia,
Russia and Argentina. Simultaneously, the different opposition-
al movements to neoliberalism create both opportunities and
barriers in the search for alternatives. Harvey shows that this
search needs to be supported by a deeper theoretical under-
standing of the roles of space and uneven geographical develop-
ment in shaping the world around us.

ban cultural heritage and its protection highly influence conser-
vation efforts. To overcome the sectoral perspective that dom-
inates the existing research on urban cultural heritage in the
Indian context, it draws on an analytical governance approach.
This approach makes it possible to identify three governance
orders and thus to make visible the interconnections between
imagination, regulation and implementation.
