Book Description
This book studies the development of banks and stock and bond exchanges in São Paulo, Brazil, during an era of rapid economic diversification. It assesses the contribution of these financial institutions to that diversification, and argues that they played an important role in São Paulo's urbanization and industrialization by the start of the twentieth century. It finds that government regulatory policy was important in limiting and shaping the activities of these institutions, but that pro-development policies did not always have their intended effects. This is the first book on São Paulo's famous industrialization to identify the strong relationship between financial institutions and São Paulo's economic modernization at the turn of the century. It is unique in Brazilian economic history, but contributes to a body of literature on financial systems and economic change in other parts of the world.

Native Americans in the School System
Author: Carol J. Ward
Publisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 0759114730
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Carol Ward examines persistent dropout rates among Native American youth, which remain high despite overall increases in Native adult education attainment in the last twenty years. Focusing on the experiences of the Northern Cheyenne nation, she evaluates historical, ethnographic, and quantitative data to determine the causes of these educational failures, and places this data in an economic, political, and cultural context. She shows that the rate of failure in this community is the result of conflicting approaches to socializing youth, the struggle between 'native capital' and 'human capital' development systems. With high rates of unemployment, poverty, and school dropouts, the Northern Cheyenne reservation provides some important lessons as Native Americans pursue greater educational success. This volume will be of use to policy makers, instructors of comparative education, Native American studies, sociology and anthropology.

Capital, Inequality, and Self-Determination
Author: Ph.D. Guedel (J.D., Greg)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The existing financial system in the United States is not working for Native Americans. The aggregate data on chronic Native American poverty, unemployment, and lack of reservation business activity indicates a substantial disconnect between tribal communities and traditional sources of development capital such as banks, credit unions, and other commercial lenders. Structural conditions in tribal communities do not embody the legal elements or collateral base required by commercial banks to provide loans and credit for Native American economic development. What tribal communities need is a new financial system, built upon an understanding of the unique economic and legal conditions of Native American nations, to provide access to capital on terms that are structurally and culturally consistent with the realities of Native American life. This paper describes an innovative program to create a new financial institution that can facilitate much-needed access to capital and affordable financial services for Native American nations: the Tribally Chartered Bank. Organized under the sovereign authority of one or more tribal governments and free from the short-term focus of publicly listed banks, the TCB would offer a means for tribes to secure the “patient capital” required for long-term economic and infrastructure development.
