Описание: Neostructuralism delves more deeply into the issues addressed in structuralism, aiming to improve positioning in the international economy, boost productive employment creation, reduce structural heterogeneity and improve income distribution, while maintaining financial balances capable of sustaining changes in the sphere of production by means of social and State support. Far from being an insular system of thinking, neostructuralism is an open system that lends itself to dialogue with other philosophies that recognize the limitations of the dominant paradigm and object to its methodological monism. This book offers a fresh look at neostructuralism and heterodox thinking at the start of the twenty-first century. In a context shaped by the impacts of the worst economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression and by paradigmatic changes at the global level, it aims to carve out arenas for discussion between alternative lines of thinking in order to lay the foundations for a socioeconomically inclusive and environmentally sustainable model of development for the region.

Описание: "Over the last decade Latin America and the Caribbean region has achieved important progress towards the World Bank Group's goals of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting income growth of the bottom 40 percent, propelled by remarkable economic growth and falling income inequality. Despite this impressive performance, social progress has not been uniform over this period, and certain countries, subregions and even socioeconomic groups participated less in the growth process. As of today, more than 75 million people still live in extreme poverty in the region (using $2.50/day/capita), half of them in Brazil and Mexico, and extreme poverty rates top 40 percent in Guatemala and reach nearly 60 percent in Haiti. This means that extreme poverty is still an important issue in both low- and middle-income countries in the region. As growth wanes and progress in reducing the still high levels of inequality in the region slows, it will be more important than ever for governments to focus policies on inclusive growth. The book includes an overview that highlights progress towards the goals of poverty eradication and shared prosperity between 2003 and 2012, unpacks recent gains at the household level using an income-based asset model, and examines some of the policy levers used to affect social outcomes in the region. It draws on 13 country studies, eight of which are featured in this volume: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The other case studies include: Bolivia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Honduras, which will be included in the web version of the book."

Описание: This book provides analytical and practical criteria for the design of fiscal rules in small economies in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The fiscal positions of most LAC countries have deteriorated in the last decade. The region's average fiscal deficit rose from 1.9 percent of GDP in 2001-08 to 3.6 percent in 2009-17, pushing the average public debt stock from 40 percent of GDP in 2008 to 62 percent in 2017. Small countries in LAC have had especially larger fiscal deficits and accelerated indebtedness. Fiscal rules represent a promising policy option for smaller LAC economies. Given their greater exposure to volatility from frequent and intense natural disasters and terms of trade shocks, smaller economies can obtain larger benefits from using fiscal rules which enhance the sustainability, predictability, and credibility of fiscal policy. If well designed, these rules enable flexibility to mitigate the impact of adverse shocks. While the need for fiscal rules to ensure fiscal sustainability is well recognized, the relative advantages and drawbacks of different types of fiscal rules vary with each country's macroeconomic characteristics. This study provides analytical criteria for selecting fiscal rules or sets of rules best suited to a country's business cycle features, exchange rate regime, type of shocks faced, and institutional characteristics. It reviews the performance of fiscal rules worldwide and assesses which rule types are most frequently used, have the best record for compliance, and are the most effective in promoting debt sustainability and preventing procyclical fiscal policies, while also presenting the features that tend to improve their performance.

Описание: The 2014 edition of Social Panorama of Latin America presents ECLAC measurements for the analysis of income poverty, taking, as well, a multidimensional approach to poverty. Applying these two approaches to data for the countries of the region provides confirmation that despite the progress made over the past decade, structural poverty is still a feature of Latin American society. In order to contribute to a more comprehensive design of public policies aimed at overcoming poverty and socioeconomic inequality, this edition examines recent trends in social spending and sets out a deeper gap analysis focused on three areas: youth and development, gender inequality in the labour market and urban residential segregation.

Описание: Highlights a regional slowdown in GDP growth. It argues that the currency depreciation seen in several countries in the region could, if sustained, increase incentives for investment in tradeable sectors other than the region`s traditional exports (commodities), while redirecting expenditure to ease pressure on the current account.

Описание: This revelatory publication features a selection of beautifully reproduced images from his sketchbooks. Most of the sketches - which include works in pencil, pastel and watercolour from across the artist`s long career - are published here for the first time. These fascinating images extend our understanding of Freud`s work and demonstrate the scrutiny he brought to his subjects.
