Unemployment and Government: Genealogies of the Social (Cambridge Studies in Law and Society)

Book Description

This book follows the invention and transformation of unemployment, understood as a historically specific site of regulation. Taking key aspects of the history of unemployment in Britain as its focus, it argues that the ways in which authorities have defined and sought to manage the jobless have been remarkably varied. The book examines such institutionalized practices as the labor bureau, unemployment insurance, and the present "New Deal" as "technologies" of power. The result is a challenge to our thinking about welfare states.

Book Description

This easy-to-read and understand book is invaluable for women (and men) who are already in business or just starting to be self-employed, and who are trying to learn exactly what tax responsibilities they have.

Not just a tax-season book, but a year round guide, Minding Her Own Business provides complete tax and recordkeeping information for self-employed people and independent contractors. Readers will learn about the different business entities (sole-proprietor, LLC, corporation, partnership), what the tax differences are between being an employee and a self-employed person, which business expenses are deductible and what proof the IRS expects to see, how to reduce your chances of being audited, whether you need to make quarterly estimated tax payments (and how to calculate the amount to send), how to deduct a home office (or should you?), whether you can deduct your business vehicle (and what records you need), how to choose a tax preparer or a bookkeeper, what taxes self-employed people pay, which tax forms are filed by sole proprietors, whether it's a good idea to prepare your own return using a tax preparation program, how to set up a simple record keeping system, and much much more.

This recently published 4th edition of Minding Her Own Business contains the general information you'll need to prepare your own 2004 tax return (or to get ready your materials for your preparer) and also for doing your 2005 tax planning.

Unlike some tax books, Minding Her Own Business is not an academic book. It is not written in legal language. It was written by a tax preparer (enrolled agent) who has been preparing tax returns for self employed people for more than 25 years. She has prepared over 8,000 tax returns and currently has 400 tax clients with whom she uses this information every day! The author has also been teaching small business tax seminars throughout the country for more than 20 years so she has a very good idea of what questions self-employed people have about taxes. You'll find those questions (and the answers) inside Minding Her Own Business.

Terry Savage in the Chicago Sun-Times wrote about Minding Her Own Business, 'If you have your own business or are thinking about starting one, you need this book.'

Paul Tulenko in The Atlanta Business Chronicle wrote: 'Clearly written and superbly easy to use. One of the best I've seen on the essentials of keeping books and paying taxes.'

Anna Marks, publisher of Bay Area BusinessWoman wrote "Women business owners should not be without this book. It's like having a tax professional by your side at all times."

Small business columnist Jane Applegate wrote, "Minding Her Own Business is a great addition to anyone's business library. Zobel has the ability to explain financial issues in a clear and understandable manner."

Excellent resource for small business owners.......2007-07-13

This book is the best I have read when it comes to breaking down financial information needed to run your own business. I used this book in every step of my business setup.

Great book.......2007-03-15

Highly recommended. Everything is described very simple and clear. And oh, boy, when it comes to taxes, there is a reason we hire someone to prepare the documents. Now I know so much, I am going to do it myself this year.

Great book to add to your library.......2005-09-30

I found this book easy to read and understand. Each of the topics were described in just enough detail - enough to give you the essentials needed to keep your books, yet not so much that you got lost in irrelevant details. I read it in one day. Sure to be referenced for years to come.

The monetary basics every business owner has to know.......2005-04-06

Now in an updated fourth edition, Minding Her Own Business is a guide to taxes and financial records written especially for self-employed women, but highly recommended for entrepreneurs everywhere regardless of gender. Written in plain and simple terms, Minding Her Own Business covers licenses and permits, bank accounts and credit cards, records the IRS expects one to have, ledger books and recordkeeping systems, 1099 Forms, identifying deductible expenses, filling tax forms and much more. A thorough overview of the monetary basics every business owner has to know.

Book Description

An important roadmap for fundraising in today's multicultural communities

Raising money in today's diverse communities is a growing challenge for fundraisers and philanthropists, requiring thoughtful strategies, successful collaborations, and a respectful understanding of people's differences.

In this groundbreaking new book, the author examines today's four major ethnic groups-African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American-in terms of their diverse histories, traditions, and motivations, and then applies this information to the proven components of successful fundraising. The result is a timely and important look at how fundraisers can use an understanding of ethnic differences to create a vibrant and balanced nonprofit center through both individual and collective efforts.

In clear, easy-to-understand language, Cultivating Diversity in Fundraising answers the following critical questions:

Who are diverse donors?
What are their charitable traditions and interests?
What fundraising methods will be successful in diverse communities?
What can fundraisers do to include more diversity in fundraising efforts?

Designed as a guide to fundraising as well as a strategic update for existing fundraisers, this book should be required reading for anyone working in today's nonprofit sector.

Customer Reviews:

This will help a lot.......2002-12-04

This book came along just in time. I want to congratulate Jancie Gow Pettey for tackling this subject and for doing it in a way that is readable and helpful. This book came to my attention just as I was accepting a new job with a nonprofit institution that serves an extremely diverse (both ethnically and economically) community. One phrase stood out to me: "Diversity means adjustment."

Summary: Get this book for your development library.

Fundraising in a Multicultural World.......2002-01-11

In this latest publication in the AFP/Wiley Fund Development Series, author Janice Gow Pettey contends that, to be successful, fundraisers must understand diverse ethnic cultures in America. While philanthropy in America mirrors the rapid shifts in technology and culture of the 21st century, giving practices in many ethnic communities draw on ancient cultural and religious traditions. Pettey looks at four major ethnic groups, African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino and Native American, explores their charitable traditions, then applies this background to recommended fundraising techniques.

The book provides interesting historical perspectives on these four groups, and offers insights into specialized giving practices. Cultural pitfalls are addressed as well: how do you bring up planned giving in a Chinese community, where death may be a taboo subject? How do you measure philanthropy where much of the flow of funds is back to communities in immigrants' home lands?

Also included are demographic data from the 2000 census, as well as observations gleaned from interviews with professionals in the philanthropic sector on family, personal and cultural giving patterns within their respective cultures. (This survey is ongoing, and the author gives information in the book on how to participate.)

"Cultivating Diversity in Fundraising" is well-organized and clearly written. While giving nonprofit professionals the tools to succeed in successful fundraising among these major ethnic groups, the book also promotes a greater understanding and respect for the role of minority communities in American philanthropic life.
