Yet, from 1752, whether criminals actually died on the hanging tree or in the dissection room remained a medical mystery in early modern society. Dissecting the Criminal Corpse takes issue with the historical cliché of corpses dangling from the hangman’s rope in crim…

Disrupted Development and the Future of Inequality in the Age of Automation
This open access book examines the future of inequality, work and wages in the age of automation with a focus on developing countries.
