This volume addresses the issue of religion and economy in the evolution of human cooperation. Both religious practices and economic behavior create and sustain intra-group cooperation by providing people with common goals and values. Even if individuals are selfish maximizers of utility, in the end everybody benefits from being part of a cooperative community, the market. The rules of the market are the invisible hand which turns selfishness into cooperation. In the same way, God beliefs constrain individual selfishness and ensure cooperation within the group.
This book argues that corruption levels today depend largely upon the level of education in a country over a century ago.

Long a scholar of Romance languages at Syracuse University, Lichtblau (1925-2000) extended his 1997 bibliography from 1990 through 1999 and added some earlier works left out of the original.

The arrangement is alphabetical by author, and the articles discuss, in Spanish, both novels and critical studies of them and of the author. No index is provided.

The content of the gospel is inseparable from the context in which the gospel is proclaimed. Contemporary Gospel Accents is a collection of concise confessions by Baptist theologians addressing the theme What the Gospel Means to Us. What distinguishes this collection from other anthologies is the character of the confessing theologians. All hail from beyond the dominant theological centers of North America and Western Europe. For the first time, Baptist voices from Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America speak dearly about the gospel accents found in diverse cultures. These essays are taken from a two-day conference held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the August 1995 Baptist World Congress. Each writer is a participant in an international workgroup of Baptist theologians. Among the contributors are Douglas Waruta and Louise Kretzschmar from Africa; Waft Aier and Eddie Kin-ming Ma from Asia; Ken Manley and Brian Smith from Southeast Asia; and Latin Americans Guillermo Catalan and Carlos Villenueva.

José Ignacio García Hamilton nos permite recuperar en este libro la imagen de un José de San Martín de carne y hueso, alejado del perfil de héroe mitológico elaborado por la historia oficial. José Ignacio García Hamilton nos permite recuperar en este libro la imagen de un José de San Martín de carne y hueso, con humillaciones y esperanzas, alejado del perfil de héroe mitológico elaborado por la historia oficial.

A poco de salir, Don José se convirtió en un clásico inolvidable a la hora de abordar a San Martín desde una perspectiva moderna y esclarecedora, y recibió un caluroso apoyo de sus numerosos lectores.
