Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde hace seiscientos años, la economía mundial más próspera ha sido, esencialmente, europea. En el último siglo, la balanza ha comenzado a decantarse hacia Asia, donde países como Japón han crecido hasta niveles sorprendentes. ¿Por qué algunos países son tan ricos y otros tan pobres? La respuesta la tenemos en este importante libro, en el que David S. Landes, partiendo de la obra clásica La riqueza de las naciones, de Adam Smith, cuenta la larga y fascinante historia de la riqueza y el poder en todo el mundo: la creación de la riqueza, las trayectorias de vencedores y perdedores, el auge y caída de las naciones. El autor estudia la historia como un proceso, intentando entender cómo las culturas del mundo conducen —o no— al éxito económico y militar y los logros materiales.

Download or read book Cultural Complexes of Latin America written by Thomas Singer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Complexes of Latin America: South and the Soul explores the theory and embodied reality that cultural complexes are powerful determinants in the attitudes, behaviour, and emotional life of individuals and groups. The contributing authors, all from several Latin American countries, present compelling historical, anthropological, sociological, mythological, psychological, and personal perspectives on a part of the world that is full of promise and despair. Latin America is a region marked with psychic "fault lines" that cause disturbances in its populations on issues of social class, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and even geography. Many of these "fault lines" appear to have their origins in the "basic fault" that occured with the conquest and colonization of the region, primarily by the Spanish and Portuguese. This "basic fault" and its subsequent "fault lines" reside not only in various groups that compete for status, power, wealth, and meaning but in the psyche of every Latin American individual who carries the emotional memories and scars of conflicts that have coursed through their mixed blood for generations.
Download or read book From free trade to globalization uncovering the mist of 21st century written by José Alberto, Pérez Toro and published by Editorial Tadeo Lozano. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about globalization as an economic and political concept. The academic debate looks forward for explanations about the historical roots and development of this emerging phenomenon where the Nation-State’s evolved into a system where nations are ruled by the dynamics of global interdependence. Globalization in the new era is characterized as a process where geographical, political and cultural borders tend to dissolve. The Westphalia notion of sovereignty capitulates against the principle of political subordination as integration of local power ensuring national legitimacy.

With knowledge-based social entrepreneurship where knowledge is the primary resource, more pressing social problems can be addressed by using advanced technologies.

Download or read book Economic History of the European Energy Industry written by Alberte Martínez-López and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climate change and the war in Ukraine have put energy back on the agenda for Europe in a way that has not been seen since the oil crisis of the 1970s. But the economics and business of supplying energy to Europe has a long and rich history going back to the nineteenth century. This book explores changes in energy markets, strategies, firms and investments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The primary focus is on manufactured gas—the gas that was initially produced from coal distillation until new ways of manufacturing gas emerged after the Second World War. The expert contributors to this volume draw on their extensive research and utilise primary sources to explore a wide range of issues, including technological adaptation, market regulation, energy investments (particularly the role of foreign capital), gas consumption and supply issues. The case studies are particularly drawn from Spain, France and Italy, but the authors provide a comparative and global perspective to consider the wider context. The volume closes with an epilogue that brings the story into the present day to consider current issues affecting gas markets in the EU, including war, geostrategy and pipelines. This book will be of interest to readers in economic history, business history, energy history, the history of public utilities and modern European history more broadly.

This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En l'actualitat, els economistes i els historiadors debaten sobre el paper exercit per les institucions i els estats en el desenvolupament econòmic a llarg termini durant l'Època Moderna. En general, s'assumeix que únicament als països de l'Atlàntic nord, l'estat i els drets de propietat es van configurar de tal manera que serien capaces de generar creixement econòmic a gran escala. De fet, l'aplicació d'aquesta perspectiva ha accentuat el tòpic d'una certa ineficàcia de les institucions del món mediterrani i ofereix una visió estereotipada del paper de l'estat. Aquest llibre pretén ser una contribució crítica que estableixi sinergies amb els economistes actuals i coadjuvi a la comprensió de la història econòmica en les societats preindustrials del sud d'Europa.
