Temática y pensamiento en la poesía de Juana de Castro

Sinopsis del Libro

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians have seen the ruble steadily lose ground to alternative means of payment such as barter and privately issued quasi-monies. Industry now collects as much as 70 percent of its receipts in nonmonetary form, leaving many firms with too little cash to pay salaries and taxes. In this ground-breaking book on the Russian economy, David Woodruff argues that Moscow's inability to control the nation's currency is not a carry-over from the Soviet past. Rather, the Russian government has failed to build the administrative capacity and political support demanded by monetary consolidation-a neglected but crucial aspect of capitalist statebuilding. Drawing on a vast array of empirical evidence, Woodruff shows how the widespread use of barter arose as local authorities tried to protect industry against the destructive effects of price increases and crude tax and accounting systems. As businesses fled or were driven from the money economy, provincial governments invented new ways to tax in kind and issued substitutes for the ruble. In turn, the federal authorities, unable to coerce firms either to operate in the money economy or to abandon business altogether, were forced to make accommodations to barter and to ruble alternatives. Woodruff describes the enormous fiscal difficulties that resulted and recounts the intense political battles over attempts to address the problem. Through an overview of monetary consolidation in other nations, Woodruff demonstrates that the struggles of the new Russian state have much to teach us about the political history of money worldwide. Sovereignty over money cannot, he argues, be imposed by government on a recalcitrant society. Nor can it be assumed as a by-product of disciplined policies aimed at market reform. Monetary consolidation is, at heart, a political achievement requiring political support.

CONSTRUCTORES DE PAZ EN MÉXICO

Este libro reúne dieciséis voces que, desde una fuerte convicción fundamentada en la experiencia, hacen propuestas viables de transformación social. Son voces de personas que, sensibles al dolor humano, con una conciencia política definida, gran compasión y opción por el bien común, se han lanzado al abismo con las víctimas de la violencia; son acompañantes fieles, guías firmes y facilitadoras de procesos de paz. Con el recurso de la entrevista de semblanza tan propio de Adela Salinas, el diálogo construye y deconstruye, decanta, desnuda; entra a un espacio íntimo, donde se...

Políticas de felicidad

Durante el siglo XX la humanidad ha conseguido triplicar su población y duplicar la esperanza media de vida, ¿supone esto una mejora en nuestra felicidad? ¿Vivimos vidas felices? Arrastramos la creencia generalizada de que la felicidad se basa en las posesiones materiales, el consumo, el poder y el éxito. Por su parte, la infelicidad nos deja expuestos y vulnerables como personas y como sociedades por lo que la promoción de la felicidad debiera ser un objetivo deseable tanto a nivel individual como colectivo.

Quinientos años de La Habana (1519-2019)

Havana is a city that has been important for the entire Atlantic world since the early 16th century.
