Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republics of Central, and South America, Their Resources, Industries, Sociology and Future Since the publication of the first edition of the present work, there has been comparatively little change in the general circumstances of the Latin American republics. Political and social development is Slow in such com munities, notwithstanding frequent - and often violent change of government, whilst trade activities (often erro neously held to be synonymous with economic growth) have fluctuated in sympathy with general world-conditions. In the Great War the majority of the Latin American States Showed their sympathy with the Allied cause, both realising its justice and displaying their worldly wisdom. Some, however, remained neutral, and there were not wanting certain adverse elements. The populations of these lands increase slowly, except as regards those few into which European immigration is more marked. With regard to the needful uplifting of the great poor and illiterate bulk of folk, which involves all but a relatively small pro portion of the inhabitants of the Central and South American republics, with Mexico, it cannot be said that their rulers have in general awakened to the fact that this is the main problem of government. There is, however, some improving tendency as regards education and the status of the manual worker; but, on the other hand, industrial unrest and the growth of revolutionary socialistic doctrine more than keep pace, as is inevitable, with this growth. In the field of manufacturing industry home manufacture as against importation shows some increase, but the foreign merchant may nevertheless draw some satisfaction from the increased demand by a growing wealthy native class for articles of foreign luxury. The Latin American States cannot expect to become great by reason of commercial resources, as fully discussed in this book; but so far those elements which may make for a truer civilisation in this part of the world emerge but slowly. However, the general conditions, physical and commercial, of these little-understood nations are full of interest, and especially so to the British and North American people; a fact which is borne out by the constant demand for books dealing therewith in England and the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republics of Central, and South America, Their Resources, Industries, Sociology and Future The purpose of this book is to provide, within the compass of a single volume, a succinct study of the Latin American republics, and their social and physical conditions; which, whilst affording exact, and, to a considerable extent, detailed information, is at the same time of interest to the general reader. There are many books of travel and description dealing with these lands, but none perhaps affording a review such as is aimed at in the present work. Furthermore, the sociology of the Latin American communities, which is dealt with here, has been much neglected, and is little understood by the general reader. The most important science at the present time, perhaps, is that still undeveloped one which may be termed "human geography": the economic relation of the people of a land to their environment, and of their rights as concern the natural resources around them. It is this science, the author ventures to affirm, which will determine the future equilibrium of society. The advantages which the Latin American countries offer to the trading, investing, and emigrating peoples of the world are set forth side by side with this element, together with their various attractions and peculiar interests in other fields.

Download or read book The Economics of Natural Resources in Latin America written by Osmel E Manzano M and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenues from commodities are extremely important for Latin America and the Caribbean, yet there is very little literature on the structure of these industries and on the various ways in which the state obtains commodity revenues. This book aims to understand the trade-off between the degree of taxation overall, the profitability of the relevant industry and the amount of investment and subsequent production in the region, as well as the relevance of institutions in the performance of the sector. This volume focuses on economic efficiency: where Latin America stands in terms of the current tax system for the extractive sector; how policies have changed in this regard; and how policies may be improved. The Economics of Natural Resources in Latin America is timely, since this new era of lower and volatile prices and possible reconfiguration of investment flows poses a challenge to natural resource tax systems in the world. The argument of the book will be made by a collection of papers around the issue of tax efficiency in the region and concludes with chapters on institutions and the role of transparency. This book shows that there are varieties of experiences in resource taxation and management of revenues in Latin America that could be used to shape policy interventions in other regions. This variety is not only related to their diverse impact on welfare, but also on the policy challenges faced by the countries in the region. This volume is well suited for those who study and find interest in development economics, political economy and public finance, as well as policy

Download or read book The Handbook of Economic Sociology written by Neil J. Smelser and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-28 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of economic sociology available. The first edition, copublished in 1994 by Princeton University Press and the Russell Sage Foundation as a synthesis of the burgeoning field of economic sociology, soon established itself as the definitive presentation of the field, and has been widely read, reviewed, and adopted. Since then, the field of economic sociology has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and to move into new theoretical and empirical territory. The second edition, while being as all-embracing in its coverage as the first edition, represents a wholesale revamping. Neil Smelser and Richard Swedberg have kept the main overall framework intact, but nearly two-thirds of the chapters are new or have new authors. As in the first edition, they bring together leading sociologists as well as representatives of other social sciences. But the thirty chapters of this volume incorporate many substantial thematic changes and new lines of research--for example, more focus on international and global concerns, chapters on institutional analysis, the transition from socialist economies, organization and networks, and the economic sociology of the ancient world. The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition is the definitive resource on what continues to be one of the leading edges of sociology and one of its most important interdisciplinary adventures. It is a must read for all faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates doing work in the field.

Download or read book Sociology of Globalization written by Saskia Sassen and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her groundbreaking book, sociologist Saskia Sassen identifies two sets of processes that make up globalization. One is the set of global institutions, such as the World Trade Organization, global financial markets, the War Crimes Tribunals and the new global cosmopolitanism. However, there is a second set of processes, frequently ignored by most social scientists, that occur on the national and local level. These processes can include state monetary and fiscal policy, networks of activists engaged in local struggles that have an explicit or implicit global agenda, and local and national politics that are unknowingly part of global networks containing similar localized efforts. Sassen's new book focuses on the importance of place, scale and the meaning of the national to study globalization. By emphasizing the interplay between the global and the local, A Sociology of Globalization introduces readers to new forms and conditions such as global cities, transnational communities and commodity chains that are increasingly common. Sassen's expanded approach to globalization offers new interpretive and analytic tools to understand the complex ideas of global interdependence.
