Social Movements and Free-Market Capitalism in Latin America
This innovative book examines how the privatization and reregulation of the telecommunications sectors in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s provoked the rise of new consumer protest movements in Latin America. Sybil Rhodes looks at how hasty privatization of state-owned telephone companies led to short-term economic windfalls for multinational corporations but long-term instability due to consumer movements or the threat of them. Eventually these governments implemented consumer-friendly regulation as a belated form of damage control. In contrast, governments that privatized through more gradual, democratic processes were able to make credible commitments to their citizens as well as to their multinational investors by including regulatory regimes with consumer protection mechanisms built in. Rhodes illustrates how consumers—previously unacknowledged actors in studies of social movements, market reforms, and democratizations in and beyond Latin America—are indispensable to understanding the political and social implications of these broad global trends.

Homem É Cabeça Da Mulher
Esta obra esta dividida em três partes, sendo a primeira o texto do professor universitário Daniel Walker com algumas modificações, supressões e acréscimos. Nesta primeira abordagem fica patente a impossibilidade do ideal feminista de homens e mulheres em condições de igualdade, uma vez que Deus nos fez diferentes no corpo, e na alma. Como teólogo fundamentalista cristão dediquei a segunda parte para refutar a absurda teologia evangélica de empoderar mulheres com cargo de pastoras, bispas, evangelistas, apóstolas e outras aberrações eclesiásticas quando a Bíblia é transparente em dizer que somente homens podem exercer o sacerdócio e/ou a liderança da igreja. Na terceira parte consta o conteúdo na íntegra do meu livro DEUS É MACHISTA. O título por si já fala tudo. É impossível ler a Bíblia e ver a natureza e não compreender que o homem foi colocado como cabeça na sociedade e que a mulher é o sexo frágil, mas justamente por ser mais frágil, Deus quer que os homens cuidem das suas mulheres e não as maltratem.
