Book Description
La conducta de ayuda a los países pobres es diferente a la que practicamos con quien tienes cerca: no es suficiente con percibir la carencia, es necesario también valorar la responsabilidad de la ayuda y su eficacia. Este es un libro sobre creencias y sobre cómo las creencias pueden afectar a la representación social y la conducta de ayuda, y pretende iniciar un debate y reflexionar sobre el papel de la ayuda en el Tercer Mundo.

Comercio y pobreza
Author: Jeffrey G. Williamson
Publisher: Grupo Planeta Spain
ISBN: 8498923719
Category : Social Science
Languages : es
Pages : 323
Book Description
El profesor Williamson, de la Universidad de Harvard, considerado como el gran especialista en el estudio de la de la globalización, nos ofrece una explicación razonada de las causas que dieron lugar a que el aumento del comercio mundial que se desarrolló entre comienzos del siglo XIX y la Primera Guerra Mundial condujera a una divergencia cada vez mayor entre los países ricos y los pobres que forman lo que hoy llamamos el “Tercer Mundo”, víctimas de un proceso de desindustrialización. Sus conclusiones acerca de la relación entre globalización y pobreza, basadas en un impresionante estudio cuantitativo, fruto de largos años de investigación, no sólo iluminan el pasado, sino que nos ofrecen un valioso diagnóstico sobre la desigualdad en el mundo actual. William Easterly ha dicho: “Nuestro mayor historiador económico ha escogido el momento adecuado para condensar el trabajo de su vida”. Los hallazgos de esta gran obra resultan indispensables para iluminar los debates actuales sobre desarrollo y pobreza.

Libertad de emprender
Author: Daniel M. Mondéjar
Publisher: Editorial Almuzara
ISBN: 8483566435
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
El actual modelo económico en el mundo occidental se caracteriza por un sobredimensionamiento del Estado que ha provocado déficit público, desempleo y bajas tasas de crecimiento económico. Esta obra defiende la necesidad de recuperar las bases del libre mercado que hicieron triunfar al sistema capitalista occidental y que ahora están aplicando con éxito Corea del Sur, Taiwán, Hong Kong y Singapur, casos que se estudian pormenorizadamente en este trabajo. Alentar al individuo a desarrollarse plenamente por sí mismo, sin olvidar a los más necesitados, favorecer el espíritu emprendedor, la tolerancia y la autonomía, fomentar la cooperación recíproca y voluntaria sin restricciones ni privilegios y con un Estado limitado que proteja la propiedad privada y los contratos individuales son algunas de las recetas propuestas para superar la situación actual y volver a un camino de crecimiento sostenido.

Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences
Author: Christian Kleiber
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0471457167
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A comprehensive account of economic size distributions around the world and throughout the years In the course of the past 100 years, economists and applied statisticians have developed a remarkably diverse variety of income distribution models, yet no single resource convincingly accounts for all of these models, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences. Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences is the first collection to systematically investigate a wide variety of parametric models that deal with income, wealth, and related notions. Christian Kleiber and Samuel Kotz survey, compliment, compare, and unify all of the disparate models of income distribution, highlighting at times a lack of coordination between them that can result in unnecessary duplication. Considering models from eight languages and all continents, the authors discuss the social and economic implications of each as well as distributions of size of loss in actuarial applications. Specific models covered include: Pareto distributions Lognormal distributions Gamma-type size distributions Beta-type size distributions Miscellaneous size distributions Three appendices provide brief biographies of some of the leading players along with the basic properties of each of the distributions. Actuaries, economists, market researchers, social scientists, and physicists interested in econophysics will find Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences to be a truly one-of-a-kind addition to the professional literature.

Violence and Resilience in Latin American Cities
Author: Kees Koonings
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780324588
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Why are Latin American cities amongst the most violent in the world? Over the past decades Latin America has not only become the most urbanised of the regions of the so-called global South, it has also been the scene of the urbanisation of poverty and exclusion. Overall regional homicides rates are the highest in the world, a fact closely related to the spread and use of firearms by male youths, who are frequently involved in local and translocal forms of organised crime. In response, governments and law enforcements agencies have been facing mounting pressure to address violence through repressive strategies, which in turn has led to a number of consequences: law enforcement is often based on excessive violence and the victimisation of entire marginal populations. Thus, the dynamics of violence have generated a widespread perception of insecurity and fear. Featuring much original fieldwork across a broad array of case studies, this cutting edge volume focuses on questions not only of crime, insecurity and violence but also of Latin American cities' ability to respond to these problems in creative and productive ways.
