Book excerpt: This book contains contributions from the conference Salzburger Anstosse 2010 that was devoted to the multidisciplinary exploration of resilience and unemployment. Resilience is a universal phenomenon, albeit it is differentially distributed within the human species in terms of its modes of expression and effects. One might refer to it as a fundamental element in the adaptive survival make-up of persons and social groups. The book contains a range of illustrations of resilient adaptation in the context of unemployment, one of the fundamental problems of our time. (Series: Perspectives on Social Ethics - Vol. 4)
