Focusing on the contributions of seven English women economists from 1735 to 1811, the book uncovers their significant yet overlooked roles in economic thought. It challenges traditional narratives by showcasing their insightful and gender-sensitive analyses of economic issues during a time when women's intellectual contributions were often marginalized. Through this exploration, the work highlights the importance of these women's writings in understanding the evolution of economic theory.

For centuries, migration has been part of Polish history. In recent decades, however, migration patterns have intensified and undergone significant changes, especially after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989/90 and Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004. This collection of essays is the first to explicitly address the cultural impact of Polish migration to three European countries that have absorbed the major part of the recent exodus: Germany, Ireland, and UK. The volume analyses cultural activities of Poles abroad, explores topical trends in Polish migrant literature, and discusses the representation of migrants in film. By opening up a decidedly cultural perspective, the essays hope to break new ground and enrich the scientific discourse on migration in the European context.
