Book excerpt: La edición de septiembre de 2011 de Perspectivas de la economía mundial evalúa cómo se presenta el panorama de la economía a escala internacional, que actualmente se encuentra en una nueva fase peligrosa. La actividad mundial es ahora más débil y desigual; últimamente la confianza se ha deteriorado de manera drástica y los riesgos a la baja se están agudizando. En un contexto de fragilidades estructurales no resueltas, la economía internacional se vio sacudida por una multitud de shocks este año, entre ellos el devastador terremoto y tsunami de Japón, disturbios en algunos países productores de petróleo y una intensificación de las turbulencias en la zona euro. Dos de las fuerzas que ahora configuran la economía mundial son los altos precios de las materias primas, que siguen en aumento, y la necesidad de hacer frente a grandes déficits presupuestarios en muchas economías. En el capítulo 3 se examinan los efectos inflacionarios de los movimientos de precios de las materias primas y la respuesta adecuada de la política monetaria. El capítulo 4 explora qué repercusiones tienen las medidas adoptadas por las economías avanzadas para restaurar la sostenibilidad fiscal y por las economías emergentes y en desarrollo para endurecer su política fiscal a fin de recomponer el margen de maniobra para la aplicación de política y, en algunos casos, para contener la presiones de sobrecalentamiento.

Book excerpt: En la edición de abril de 2012 de Perspectivas de la economía mundial se evalúa el panorama al que se enfrenta la economía a escala internacional, que muestra un fortalecimiento gradual tras el fuerte revés sufrido en 2011. La amenaza de una abrupta desaceleración mundial se vio contenida debido a que mejoró la actividad en Estados Unidos y se aplicaron políticas más idóneas en la zona del euro en respuesta a la profundización de la crisis europea. Por lo tanto, es probable que en las principales economías avanzadas se reinicie una recuperación débil y se prevé que en la mayoría de las economías emergentes y en desarrollo la actividad seguirá siendo relativamente sólida. No obstante, los avances recientes son muy frágiles. Las autoridades de política económica deben calibrar las políticas de estímulo al crecimiento en el corto plazo y deben implementar reformas fundamentales para lograr un crecimiento sano en el mediano plazo. En el capítulo 3 se examina de qué manera las políticas enfocadas en los mercados inmobiliarios pueden acelerar la mejora de los balances de los hogares y, por tanto, estimular un consumo que de otra manera sería anémico. Los países que han adoptado políticas de esta naturaleza ya han obtenido grandes beneficios. En general, sin embargo, el temor en torno al riesgo moral ha sido un obstáculo en este proceso. En el capítulo 4 se examina de qué manera las oscilaciones de precios de las materias primas afectan a las economías que las exportan. Muchas economías emergentes y en desarrollo han acumulado casi una década de alto crecimiento, en parte gracias a la rápida expansión del crédito o a los altos precios de las materias primas. Sin embargo, es poco probable que los precios de las materias primas sigan aumentando a un ritmo tan acelerado, y posiblemente sea necesario adaptar las políticas fiscales y otras políticas económicas a un menor crecimiento potencial del producto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la edición de abril de 2011 de Perspectivas de la economía mundial se evalúa el panorama del crecimiento económico en el mundo en el contexto de los desafíos de política económica que aún deben abordarse y de los nuevos desafíos que se perfilan. La recuperación está cobrando fuerza, pero el desempleo se mantiene en un alto nivel en las economías avanzadas, y en las economías de mercados emergentes están surgiendo nuevos riesgos macroeconómicos. En las economías avanzadas, la demanda privada está sustituyendo a la pública, lo cual reduce la preocupación de que al disminuir el respaldo de política fiscal la economía vuelva a caer en recesión. Las condiciones financieras siguen mejorando, aunque todavía son excesivamente frágiles. En muchas economías de mercados emergentes, la demanda es vigorosa y el sobrecalentamiento es un creciente motivo de preocupación. El alza de precios de los alimentos y materias primas plantea nuevos riesgos para la economía mundial. Dos capítulos abordan de manera directa estos nuevos desafíos. El capítulo 3 analiza el impacto potencial de la escasez de petróleo en el crecimiento mundial y el capítulo 4 explora la posible respuesta de los flujos de capitales internacionales ante los cambios en el entorno macroeconómico internacional.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America was one of the regions least affected by the global financial crisis of 2008. During this time of widespread economic downfall, Latin America continued to achieve an annual growth rate of around 5%. Latin America after the Financial Crisis explains how the global financial crisis affected the region and why it was not as severe as other crises in the past. The collection covers data from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela, and demystifies the impact of the crisis on the accumulation path of the region without losing sight of each country's particularities. Each country is analyzed by leading specialized and heterodox researchers who have vast experience in the field and who use an array of heterodox perspectives, from Keynesian to Kaleckian and Marxian to Sraffian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Frequent insights, stimulating historical comparisons, and command of the data relating to Cuba’s economic and social performance.” —Foreign Affairs Uncritically lauded by the left and impulsively denounced by the right, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally viewed one dimensionally. In this book, Samuel Farber, one of its most informed left-wing critics, provides a much-needed critical assessment of the Revolution’s impact and legacy. “The Cuban story twists and turns as we speak, so thank goodness for scholars such as Samuel Farber, an unapologetic Marxist whose knowledge of Cuban affairs is unrivalled . . . In this excellent, necessary book, Farber takes stock of fifty years of revolutionary control by recognizing achievements but lambasting authoritarianism.” —Latin American Review of Books “A courageous and formidable balance-sheet of the Cuban Revolution, including a sobering analysis of a draconian ‘reform’ program that will only deepen the gulf between revolutionary slogans and the actual life of the people.” —Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums

Download or read book Defending Their Own in the Cold written by Marc Zimmerman and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending Their Own in the Cold: The Cultural Turns of U.S. Puerto Ricans explores U.S. Puerto Rican culture in past and recent contexts. The book presents East Coast, Midwest, and Chicago cultural production while exploring Puerto Rican musical, film, artistic, and literary performance. Working within the theoretical frame of cultural, postcolonial, and diasporic studies, Marc Zimmerman relates the experience of Puerto Ricans to that of Chicanos and Cuban Americans, showing how even supposedly mainstream U.S. Puerto Ricans participate in a performative culture that embodies elements of possible cultural "Ricanstruction." Defending Their Own in the Cold examines various dimensions of U.S. Puerto Rican artistic life, including relations with other ethnic groups and resistance to colonialism and cultural assimilation. To illustrate how Puerto Ricans have survived and created new identities and relations out of their colonized and diasporic circumstances, Zimmerman looks at the cultural examples of Latino entertainment stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Benicio del Toro, visual artists Juan Sánchez, Ramón Flores, and Elizam Escobar, as well as Nuyorican dancer turned Midwest poet Carmen Pursifull. The book includes a comprehensive chapter on the development of U.S. Puerto Rican literature and a pioneering essay on Chicago Puerto Rican writing. A final essay considers Cuban cultural attitudes towards Puerto Ricans in a testimonial narrative by Miguel Barnet and reaches conclusions about the past and future of U.S. Puerto Rican culture. Zimmerman offers his own "semi-outsider" point of reference as a Jewish American Latin Americanist who grew up near New York City, matured in California, went on to work with and teach Latinos in the Midwest, and eventually married a woman from a Puerto Rican family with island and U.S. roots.
