Dismantling the notion that Shaw distorted Ibsen to promote his own view of the world, and establishing S…haw's initial interest in Ibsen as the poet of Peer Gynt, it chronicles Shaw's important role in the London Ibsen campaign and exposes the falsity of the tradition that Shaw branded Ibsen as a socialist. Further, this study showsthat Shaw's famous but maligned The Quintessence of Ibsenism reflects Ibsen's own anti-idealist notion of his work and argues that Shaw's readings of Ibsen's plays are pioneeringanalyses that anticipate later criticism. It offers new readings of Shaw's 'Ibsenist' plays as well asa comprehensive account of Ibsen's importance for Shaw's dramatic criticism, from hisearly journalism to Our Theatres of the Nineties, both as a weapon against the inanities of theVictorian stage and as the standard bearer for modernism. 388 pp. Englisch.

It focuses on the process of political bargains in which parties with different interests come together to form coalitions, and it shows how these coalitions have de…termined banking outcomes and caused banking crises in Spain. In particular, it analyzes the 2008 Spanish banking crisis and shows how Spanish banks and related savings institutions contributed significantly to the challenges that led to the crisis, including the fueling of a large property bubble - by channeling tremendous credits to the construction and real estate sectors, while starving the country's productive sectors. Accordingly, the book links banking crises to the country's larger institutional malaise, placing the solution not only in the hands of the banks, but also the political institutions that influence them. 372 pp. Englisch.
