Download or read book A Land Without Gods written by Jacques M Chevalier and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1995-08 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this theoretically innovative study of maldevelopment and power relations among the Nahuas of southern Veracruz, Chevalier and Buckles explore the impact of Mexico's cattle ranching and petrochemical industries on milpa agriculture and rainforest environment. They also examine how national politics and economics affect native patterns of patrimonial culture and social organization. In the concluding chapter, an ascetic worldview illustrated through corn god mythology points to meaningful ways of countering current trends of social and ecological impoverishment. This major work of scholarship tackles key issues in ecology and development, theories of the state, gender analysis and symbolic anthropology. Against rigid conceptions of capitalism and native society, the authors apply their own theory of process to the orderly and contradictory features of social history. Established ways of doing things - a mode of government, a way of livelihood, a kinship and narrative tradition - are shown to reflect the imposition of a ruling order, an unequal distribution of the proceeds of society, and the confrontation of classes and parties, genders and age-groups, spirits and humans struggling for power.

Download or read book Portfolio Performance of Selected Social Security Institutes in Latin America written by Carmelo Mesa-Lago and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the management of investment portfolios by social security institutes in eight Latin American countries: the Bahamas, Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, and Peru. In general, pension reserves have not been invested in instruments with the highest economic returns. Capital markets are poorly developed, inflation has had a pervasive negative effect on the value of reserves held in financial assets, and fund managers lack the training and skills necessary to manage their portfolios. As a result, only three of the eight countries: Chile, the Bahamas, and Barbados, enjoyed positive real rates of return on their investments over the period 1980-87. The paper offers four recommendations that would improve portfolio management. Investment policy should rest solely with the autonomous social insurance institute to avoid counterproductive government intervention. Longer-term and more diversified investments, particularly in fixed-term deposits with higher real returns, would strengthen the portfolios of most institutes. Social security institutes in many countries would benefit from study of the privatization process undertaken in Chile over the past decade. Lastly, pension-fund managers will require technical assistance and training in portfolio management to achieve positive results.
