Book excerpt: Es tentador afirmar que la pobreza es una enfermedad de las sociedades contemporáneas. Su carácter crónico y devastador, la dificultad para extirparla, los crueles daños que causa: todo justifica la metáfora. En las últimas décadas, con gran ingenio y precisión, Esther Duflo ha llevado esta analogía a un plano distinto, pues ha sabido adaptar la lógica de la experimentación médica al combate a la miseria, primero para entender cómo funciona y luego para plantear remedios. En este volumen analiza de entrada el debate entre quienes apuestan todo a la ayuda internacional y quienes, con cierto cinismo, prefieren creer que el mercado resolverá por sí solo este mal, y luego explora cuatro zonas delicadas que afectan a los más necesitados: la educación y sus promesas, la salud y sus costos, las microfinanzas y sus mitos, la corrupción y su lógica. Para la segunda mujer merecedora del Premio Nobel de Economía, esta disciplina debe ser rigurosa, imparcial y seria, una ciencia humana que actúe con generosidad, ambición y compromiso. Estas páginas son una visita guiada al cada vez más grande laboratorio de las evaluaciones aleatorizadas, esa original herramienta que sirve para diagnosticar y atender la pobreza.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

Download or read book Panfletos liberales III written by Carlos Rodríguez Braun and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estos últimos años han estado marcados por la corrección política antiliberal. El resultado de ello ha sido reforzar la idea de que nuestros males son culpa de la libertad y que debemos ser cada vez menos libres. Y siempre hay políticos dispuestos a que lo seamos. Carlos Rodríguez Braun refuta este pensamiento único en Panfletos liberales III: «la crisis no ha sido producida por la libertad sino por el intervencionismo. No es verdad que hayamos disfrutado de una libertad excesiva: al contrario, mientras los gobernantes se ufanan en proteger nuestros derechos, tenemos cada vez más obligaciones». En unas doscientas reflexiones breves, y con el ingenio y la ironía que caracterizan al autor, se denuncia el bulo según el cual nos arrasa una ola privatizadora neoliberal que pretende desmantelar el Estado del bienestar.El liberalismo no tiene colores partidarios y este libro molestará a los políticos de izquierdas tanto como a los de derechas. Por aludir a una de las obsesiones de Rodríguez Braun, hemos comprobado que la izquierda sube los impuestos, pero la derecha... también.
Download or read book Vivir Bien as an Alternative to Neoliberal Globalization written by Eija Ranta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an ethnographic account of the emergence and application of critical political alternatives in the Global South, this book analyses the opportunities and challenges of decolonizing and transforming a modern, hierarchical and globally-immersed nation-state on the basis of indigenous terminologies. Alternative development paradigms that represent values including justice, pluralism, democracy and a sustainable relationship to nature tend to emerge in response to – and often opposed to – the neoliberal globalization. Through a focus on the empirical case of the notion of Vivir Bien (‘Living Well’) as a critical cultural and ecological paradigm, Ranta demonstrates how indigeneity – indigenous peoples’ discourses, cultural ideas and worldviews – has become such a denominator in the construction of local political and policy alternatives. More widely, the author seeks to map conditions for, and the challenges of, radical political projects that aim to counteract neoliberal globalization and Western hegemony in defining development. This book will appeal to critical academic scholars, development practitioners and social activists aiming to come to grips with the complexity of processes of progressive social change in our contemporary global world.

Download or read book Against Religious Nationalism written by La Civiltà Cattolica and published by ucanews. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 11 articles from the July 2020 edition of La Civiltà Cattolica, the highly respected and oldest Catholic journal published from Rome. The Holy Father is fond of St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, often reflecting on it at the General Audience, every Wednesday in Rome. One time he reminded us to “walk in the Spirit.” The Holy Spirit, he said, is our guide on our “journey along the way of Christ,” a “stupendous, but difficult journey that begins in Baptism and lasts our whole life.” Giancarlo Pani discusses this exceptional document. How does a common religious identity and ethnic homogeneity, strengthened by geopolitical boundaries, form politics and nationalism? Joseph Lobo, SJ considers if, in reality, there is no geographical entity that can be defined as a nation that has a single homogeneous identity from a linguistic or religious point of view. Covid-19 is a silent revealer of many realities that remain concealed in our everyday life. In Philosophers of Contagion: How intellectuals perceive Covid-19, Cristian Peralta, SJ asks whether the concerns of Western intelligentsia have changed as the pandemic has hit the richest countries hard. Does Pope Francis’s call for the establishment of a universal basic wage means that it has to be paid to all without conditions? Gaël Giraud, SJ examines how our faith can guide us as we evaluate the practicalities of its implementation? Pope Francis suggests the Covid-19 pandemic is a propitious time to find the courage for a new imagination of the possible. Antonio Spadaro, SJ discusses seven figures that Pope used to interpret both the present moment and the future. Giovanni Cucci, SJ says a person continues to be present online even after their death, although in a very different form. Will the presence of a dead person in the digital world have significant consequences in psychological, emotional and educational terms? A large part of India’s population live below the poverty line and it is estimated that in 2030 its inhabitants will number more than one and a half billion. In Modi’s India: Between Hindu Traditionalism and Coronavirus, Giovanni Sale, SJ looks at two predicaments the country is facing: the pandemic and changes to citizenship laws. In one of his self-portraits, Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn presents himself as imprisoned in Rome, like the Apostle Paul. Identifying with his characters, with their prayers, defeats, regrets and hopes, he becomes a proclaimer of the Good News. John Paul II showed himself to be a great communicator and his relationship with the media says a lot about his attention to them as an important aspects of today’s reality, that he was aware how the media are an indispensable way to spread every message. Federico Lombardi, SJ talks about his firsthand experience and knowledge of John Paul II Communicator.

Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics upend the most common assumptions about how economics works in this gripping and disruptive portrait of how poor people actually live. Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two award-winning MIT professors, answer these questions based on years of field research from around the world. Called "marvelous, rewarding" by the Wall Street Journal, the book offers a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty and an intimate view of life on 99 cents a day. Poor Economics shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.
