Recordar a los olvidados de la historia es vital para aprender de los procesos revolucionarios del pasado. La rememoración crítica de la batalla de Chile y el proceso revolucionario no debe ser una parada ritual de nostalgia, sino un punto de partida

Neste trabalho, apresentamos algumas ideias que consideramos fundamentais para entender o pensamento de quatro grandes Homens Adam Smith (1723-1790), Karl Marx (1818-1883), John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) e Milton Friedman (1912-2006).

El propósito de este texto es hacer una visión exploratoria del alcance, características y usos de la Gestión Pública, aplicado a casos concretos, y su implementación en la administración pública ecuatoriana. Como se vera en las paginas de este documento, se propone esta area como una "ciencia de la accion", en la que los elementos juridicos, politicos y economicos se combinan, con el fin de asegurar el mejor ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales y la concrecion de los objetivos de Estado. En este sentido, y la mayoria de autores coinciden con que el proceso de "reforma del Estado" tan necesaria en nuestra orbita nacional o regional, es una accion nacida de una necesidad de largo plazo, con fuertes vasos comunicantes entre la accion de la administracion con actores politicos dotados de legitimidad electoral.Los textos que se encontraran en las siguientes paginas tienen varios elementos en comun: los Estados no se gobiernan como un acto puramente tecnico-racional, sino que ejercen el arte de gobernar (statecraft) con actos conscientes e inconscientes, para gestionar las tensiones de los diferentes involucrados es una politica publica.

After decades of unsatisfying performances, economic growth took off in many sub-Saharan states at the beginning of the 21st century. More recently, however, the end of the commodity cycle particularly with the oil price drop and the rise of jihadist violence rocked the Emerging Africa boat. Is this the beginning of the end for sustained growth in the region? This Report investigates the economic impact of these new challenges upon Africas frontier markets. It shows that the positive economic trajectory of recent years is being negatively affected, particularly for oil-exporting countries. However, while more caution is needed, Africas growth prospects on the whole remain fairly good at least for now. But there is an increasing need to understand the specific risks that individual countries face and the opportunities that they offer, as well as to re-assess the potential of each specific sector of economic activity. The three largest economies in the region Nigeria, South Africa and Angola are all under pressure. Others, including Ethiopia, Mozambique and Kenya, are still projected to achieve remarkable growth rates.

In "Against Verres," Marcus Tullius Cicero delivers a masterful set of speeches that embody the principles of Roman rhetoric while deftly critiquing the corrupt provincial governor, Gaius Verres. Written in 70 BCE, this work is a pivotal example of Roman oratory, highlighting Ciceros skillful use of pathos, ethos, and logos to sway public opinion. Cicero meticulously chronicles the abuses of power Verres inflicted upon the citizens of Sicily, vividly illustrating themes of justice, corruption, and civic duty. Through eloquent prose and engaging narrative, he calls upon the Roman Senate to hold Verres accountable, effectively showcasing the intersection of law and morality in Roman society. Marcus Tullius Cicero, a philosopher, statesman, and lawyer, was profoundly influenced by the turbulent political climate of his time. Living amidst the decline of the Roman Republic and grappling with moral integrity, Ciceros experiences compelled him to advocate for justice and uphold the rule of law. His position as a consul and his participation in the political forum equipped him with a robust understanding of rhetoric and ethics, shaping his passionate defense against Verres. "Against Verres" is essential reading for anyone interested in Roman history, legal philosophy, and the art of persuasion. Ciceros ageless exploration of moral outrage and civic responsibility continues to resonate, making it a vital text for scholars and casual readers alike. Engage with this dramatic trial and witness the rhetorical brilliance that secured Ciceros legacy as one of historys foremost orators.

In "Against Verres," Marcus Tullius Cicero masterfully employs the rhetoric of legal oration to expose the egregious corruption of the governor Verres, whose mismanagement of Sicily sparked outrage in Roman society. This polemical work brilliantly blends vivid character sketches, emotional appeals, and a meticulous presentation of evidence, showcasing CiceroAos skill in persuasive language. Stylistically, the text serves not only as a legal argument but also as a profound commentary on moral integrity and public duty in the Roman Republic, reflecting the tumultuous political landscape of the late 1st century BCE where power and virtue often stood in stark opposition. Cicero, a statesman, lawyer, and philosopher, was deeply rooted in the socio-political upheaval of his time, which undoubtedly influenced his fervent critique of Verres. His commitment to justice, exemplified in his orations, highlights his belief in the importance of the rule of law and accountability among Romes elite. Ciceros firsthand experiences with government corruption and legal processes provided him the insight and urgency necessary to craft this blistering indictment. For those interested in classical rhetoric, Roman history, or the interplay of power and morality, "Against Verres" is an essential work that remains as relevant today as in Ciceros time. It serves not only as a captivating legal narrative but also as a testament to the enduring fight against injustice, compelling readers to reflect on the responsibilities of citizens and leaders alike.

These were the crimes that were meant to change the world, and sometimes did. The book connects the killing of the Kennedys or the murder that sparked the First World War with less well-known stories, such as the Berlin shooting of an instigator of the Armenian genocide or the attack on an American robber baron. Taking in Malcolm X and Queen Victoria, Adolf Hitler and Andy Warhol, Charles Manson and Emma Goldman, Tsars, Presidents, and pop stars, Age of Assassins traces the process that turned thought into action and murder into an icon.In tackling the history of political violence, the book is unique in its range and attention to detail, summoning up an age of assassination that is far from over.

Albert Einstein sagte: wir konnen die Probleme dieser Welt nicht mit der selben Denkweise losen, mit der wir sie verursacht haben. Der Autor zeigt deutlich, und es ist erkennbar, dass dies tatsachlich der richtige, der einzige Weg ist, unsere Probleme zu losen und uns damit aus den Krisen zu befreien.

El personaje es un liberal del diario La Nación que se hizo "K", que se esfuerza por ser un militante y no es aceptado, hecho que da pie a una mirada crítica y humorística de la realidad política del pais. El autor es el prosecretario general de redaccion del diario La Nacion.El libro reune las columnas publicadas por en la seccion De no creer y los comentarios de los lectores. El personaje creado por Reymundo Roberts se sueña K y no logra serlo, o no logra ser aceptado como tal, y esa tension es la que confunde, enoja y encanta. Asi es que los foros de lanacion.com estallan con vitores, insultos y signos de interrogacion. Como dijo el periodista Carlos Pagni en el prologo de Aguanten los K:"La ficcion puede convertirse en un instrumento inigualable de indagacion de la realidad". Pagni elogio que el autor haya descubierto la "mejor forma" de describir la realidad politica del pais, que es "matandose de risa". Asi, considero que "el kirchnerismo, que dramatiza todo y por su matriz autoritaria, no entiende el humor y lo ofende mucho". Añadio: "Roberts, siguiendo una tendencia de su personalidad, a traves del humor consigue criticar sin agredir, lo cual es un hallazgo en momentos en que nos quieren meter en la trampa de una guerra".

Historia íntima de la campaña electoral que cambió la Argentina para siempre.Este es un libro sobre una política argentina que no existe más. Y sobre la construcción de un político que jamás dejará de existir. Se terminaba la dictadura y las fuerzas en pugna en aquellos dias agitados eran el peronismo y el radicalismo. Los primeros daban la eleccion de 1983 como ganada. Los segundos, de la mano de un abogado de Chascomus y un grupo de amigos, politicos, publicistas y analistas de opinion publica, dieron el batacazo historico, con una campaña electoral excepcional, que no solo llevo a Raul Alfonsin a la presidencia, sino que ademas abrio la puerta al periodo mas largo de vida democratica en la Argentina, ese mismo que cumple cuarenta años en 2023. En este libro extraordinariamente documentado, los autores recuperan aquella experiencia electoral casi minuto a minuto, en un relato que es historia viva pero que, leido a la luz de las campañas actuales, parece ciencia ficcion. Retratan la pasion artesanal del recorrido de Alfonsin, y el modo en que ese viaje fue pavimentado por profesionales que sabian lo que hacian y lo que querian. Ahora Alfonsin cuenta una de las mejores paginas de nuestra Argentina, un clasico en la linea de la mejor tradicion literaria: el camino hacia la construccion de un heroe.

The suicide warriors who attacked Washington and New York on September 11th, 2001, did more than kill thousands of civilians and demolish the World Trade Center. They destroyed the Wests ruling myth.So John Gray begins this short, powerful book on the belief that has dominated our minds for a century and a half - the idea that we are all, more or less, becoming modern and that as we become modern we will become more alike, and at the same time more familiar and more reasonable. Nothing could be further from the truth, Gray argues. Al Qaeda is a product of modernity and of globalisation, and it will not be the last group to use the products of the modern world in its own monstrous way.Gray pulls up by the roots the myth that the human condition can be remade by science and progress or political engineering. He describes with mordant irony the rise of Positivists, the strange sect that put science and technology at the centre of the cult and developed a religion of humanity. Through their influence on economists, politicians and biologists, they still powerfully affect the way we think. Gray looks at the various attempts to remake humanity, from the Bolshevik and Nazi disasters to the utopian experiments of modern radical Islam and the dreams of the prophets of globalisation. And he gives a scathing account of the real sources of conflict in the world, of American power and its illusions, and of the ways in which cultures will resist the reshaping we might wish on them.

La escena filosófica de la caverna, utilizada por Badiou como ejemplo y resumen de su propia filosofía, no solamente posee intrínsecamente la forma de vida del filósofo, sino que también muestra la necesidad permanente de afirmar la filosofia como eje vertebrador de lo humano frente a formas de vida inhumanas, las que se muestran en la alegoria platonica como seres encadenados. Para Badiou la naturaleza del filosofar es siempre dar un paso mas en el nucleo de un problema que existe desde siempre; que le es legado al filosofo para que se haga cargo de el y transite con el. Hay en el filosofar una interpretacion de este legado del cual nunca se llega a tener una respuesta completa; por esta razon la filosofia nunca es concluyente, sino que solo lo hace presente y da testimonio de su existencia.
