Constitutional Crowdsourcing
Conceptualising the new phenomenon of constitutional crowdsourcing, this incisive book examines democratic legitimacy, participation, and decision-making in constitutions and constitutionalism. It analyses how the wider population can be given a voice in constitution-making and in constitutional interpretation and control, thus promoting the exercise of original and derived constituent power.
Ideología de la Contrarrevolución Mexicana. Intelectuales y neoliberalismo en México
El profesor Hernández Solís logra un acierto metodológico tremendo al compaginar tanto la reflexión sociológica relativa a los principios básicos del neoliberalismo como ideología –la teología económica de mercado, el individualismo filosófico y la idea del egoísmo y cálculo racional en la economía-; con un recorrido histórico que permite observar las condiciones temporales y acontecimientos que permitieron florecer al sentido común neoliberal mexicano, y toma como eje rector de su análisis a los grandes portavoces de ese ideario en México, que el autor, con gran acierto, divide en dos grupos: uno que contaba con un prestigio académico y cierto enfoque histórico con el c...
Clase Pueblo. Subjetivación política y grupos subalternos. A partir del análisis de la noción de Pueblo de Ernesto Laclau, Jacques Rancière y Enrique Dussel
La reivindicación del pueblo ante la hegemonía neoliberal Octavio Humberto Moreno Velador La segunda mitad del siglo XX estuvo marcada por la hegemonía del pensamiento asociado el neoliberalismo, un conjunto de ideas que se tradujeron en prácticas concretas tanto en lo público como en lo privado. Ese pensamiento considera nociones y premisas que privilegian el interés individual, y otorgan valor e importancia a las cosas de acuerdo a los principios del rendimiento económico y la acumulación de ganancia.

A Fast and Frugal Finance
A Fast and Frugal Finance: Bridging Contemporary Behavioural Finance and Ecological Rationality adds psychological reality to classical financial reasoning. It shows how financial professionals can reach better and quicker decisions using the 'fast and frugal' framework for decision-making, adding dramatically to time and outcome efficiency, while also retaining accuracy. The book provides the reader with an adaptive toolbox of heuristic tools and classification systems to aid real-world decisions. Throughout, financial applications are presented alongside real-world examples to help readers solve established problems in finance, including stock buying and selling decisions, when faced with not only risk but fundamental uncertainty. The book concludes by describing potential solutions to financial problems in the forefront of contemporary debates, and calls for taking psychological insights seriously.
Critical Medical Anthropology
Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.
Card-Carrying Christians
In the waning years of Latin America's longest and bloodiest civil war, the rise of an unlikely duo is transforming Colombia: Christianity and access to credit. In her exciting new book, Rebecca C. Bartel details how surging evangelical conversions and widespread access to credit cards, microfinance programs, and mortgages are changing how millions of Colombians envision a more prosperous future. Yet programs of financialization propel new modes of violence. As prosperity becomes conflated with peace, and debt with devotion, survival only becomes possible through credit and its accompanying forms of indebtedness. A new future is on the horizon, but it will come at a price.
