Pablo Policzer, "The Politics of Violence in Latin America " English | ISBN: 1552389065 | 2019 | 266 pages | PDF | 8 MB Latin America is one of the most violent regions in the world. It has suffered waves of repressive authoritarian rule, organized armed insurgency and civil war, violent protest, and ballooning rates of criminal violence. But is violence hard-wired into Latin America? This is a critical reassessment of the ways in which violence in Latin America is addressed and understood. Previous approaches have relied on structural perspectives, attributing the problem of violence to Latin America's colonial past or its conflictual contemporary politics. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this volume argues that violence is often rooted more in contingent outcomes than in deeply embedded structures. Addressing topics ranging from the root sources of violence in Haiti to kidnapping in Colombia, from the role of property rights in patterns of violence to the challenges of peacebuilding, The Politics of Violence in Latin America is an essential step towards understanding the causes and contexts of violence-and changing the mechanisms that produce it.

 The Politics of Free Markets: The Rise of Neoliberal Economic Policies in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States By Monica Prasad 2006 | 338 Pages | ISBN: 0226679012 | PDF | 14 MB The attempt to reduce the role of the state in the market through tax cuts, decreases in social spending, deregulation, and privatization-"neoliberalism"-took root in the United States under Ronald Reagan and in Britain under Margaret Thatcher. But why did neoliberal policies gain such prominence in these two countries and not in similarly industrialized Western countries such as France and Germany?In The Politics of Free Markets, a comparative-historical analysis of the development of neoliberal policies in these four countries,Monica Prasad argues that neoliberalism was made possible in the United States and Britain not because the Left in these countries was too weak, but because it was in some respects too strong. At the time of the oil crisis in the 1970s, American and British tax policies were more punitive to business and the wealthy than the tax policies of France and West Germany; American and British industrial policies were more adversarial to business in key domains; and while the British welfare state was the most redistributive of the four, the French welfare state was the least redistributive. Prasad shows that these adversarial structures in the United States and Britain created opportunities for politicians to find and mobilize dissatisfaction with the status quo, while the more progrowth policies of France and West Germany prevented politicians of the Right from anchoring neoliberalism in electoral dissatisfaction.

Maggie Black, "The No-Nonsense Guide to International Development" English | 2002 | ISBN: 1859844316 | PDF | pages: 154 | 11.4 mb The popular image of development as a progressive force bears little relationship to reality. The economic benefits of expensive large-scale infrastructure projects have not trickled down. Increasing concern about the environmental effects of rapid industrialization and a recognition of the need for sustainable development has led to tension between the industrial countries that have already damaged their environments and the poorer countries now being urged to take a globally responsible view. In this book Maggie Black traces the history of development from its post-colonial beginnings, and examines the relationship between development and economic growth, the impact development has had on the living conditions of the poor and on the environment, and whether development will have a specific role in the future or whether it will simply be subsumed under the concept of globalization.  The Next Money Crash-And a Reconstruction Blueprint by Uli Kortsch, Patrick Barry, William Dunkelberg, Joseph Huber, Laurence Kotlikoff, John Mauldin, Jonathan McMillan, Dennis Peacocke, Katharina Serafimova, Peter Wallison, William White English | December 28th, 2020 | ISBN: 1663207119, 1663207127 | 415 pages | True EPUB | 7.68 MB This book lays out an action plan with some room for improvisation. Will we have the courage to act? Kicking the proverbial can down the road feels easy in the moment but can lead to devastating consequences. The point of a system redesign is to acknowledge we have a broken monetary system, that has drifted far away from serving "We the People" . There is a growing recognition, even within the Federal Reserve, that something is wrong. The needed actions described here on money and banking can restore a better balance for all. With knowledge there is true power. |
