Revolution in Development
Revolution in Development uncovers the surprising influence of postrevolutionary Mexico on the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Christy Thornton meticulously traces how Mexican officials repeatedly rallied Third World leaders to campaign for representation in global organizations and redistribution through multilateral institutions. By decentering the United States and Europe in the history of global economic governance, Revolution in Development shows how Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians fought for more than five decades to reform the rules and institutions of the global capitalist economy. In so doing, the book demonstrates, Mexican officials shaped not only their own domestic economic prospects but also the contours of the project of international development itself.
Streets of Gold
Forbes, Best Business Books of 2022 Behavioral Scientist, Notable Books of 2022 The facts, not the fiction, of America’s immigration experience Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, new evidence is provided about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories, and draw counterintuitive conclusions, including: Upward Mobility: Children of immigrants from nearly...
Kolonialisme!
Het koloniale verleden en het slavernijverleden van Nederland staan de laatste tijd volop in de belangstelling, in steeds negatievere termen. Na tientallen jaren borstklopperij is de slinger doorgeslagen naar boetedoening. Dankzij ’s lands bekendste Leidse historici, koning Willem-Alexander en voormalig premier Mark Rutte, staat Nederland nu zelfs bovenaan de Europese ‘ranglijst’ van spijt en excuses. Is dat wenselijk of moet de politiek stoppen met wat volgens velen getuigt van een weg-met-ons mentaliteit? Bossenbroek neigt naar dat laatste. De officiële excuses hebben namelijk geen breed draagvlak onder de bevolking. De grootste politieke partij, de pvv, wil alle excuses intrekken e...

Modeling the impacts of agricultural support policies on emissions from agriculture
To understand the impacts of support programs on global emissions, this paper considers the impacts of domestic subsidies, price distortions at the border, and investments in emission-reducing technologies on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. In a step towards a full evaluation of the impacts, it uses a counterfactual global model scenario showing how much emissions from agricultural production would change if agricultural support were abolished worldwide. The analysis indicates that, without subsidies paid directly to farmers, output of some emission-intensive activities and agricultural emissions would be smaller. Without agricultural trade protection, however, emissi...
