Sharing Economy and the Impact of Collaborative Consumption
The introduction of new technology and technological services worldwide has ushered in a new wave of peer-to-peer and access-driven companies that are disrupting the most established business categories.

Economía, mercados y conducta
Esta obra pretende introducir al lector en el conocimiento de los principales conceptos económicos mediante una metodología basada principalmente en la interactividad y en el aprendizaje progresivo de los conceptos a partir de la implantación de algunos laberintos de acción; es decir, de técnicas que estimulen al lector a tomar decisiones al mismo tiempo que adquiere habilidades y conocimientos. De este modo, la obra que tiene en sus manos quiere huir de la tentación, habitual en este tipo de manuales, de abrumar con la transmisión de conocimientos microeconómicos a partir de unos contenidos con mucha densidad matemática, pero alejados de los problemas y cuestiones que deben afrontarse en la vida diaria.
Wikipedia @ 20
Wikipedia's first twenty years: how what began as an experiment in collaboration became the world's most popular reference work. We have been looking things up in Wikipedia for twenty years. What began almost by accident—a wiki attached to an nascent online encyclopedia—has become the world's most popular reference work. Regarded at first as the scholarly equivalent of a Big Mac, Wikipedia is now known for its reliable sourcing and as a bastion of (mostly) reasoned interaction. How has Wikipedia, built on a model of radical collaboration, remained true to its original mission of “free access to the sum of all human knowledge” when other tech phenomena have devolved into advertising p...
Monetary Policies and Independence of the Central Banks in E7 Countries
Central banking independence is a crucial factor for sustainable economic development of multiple countries. The multiple components for such systems, however, makes it difficult to evaluate how the success of such a system may be determined. Monetary Policies and Independence of the Central Banks in E7 Countries is an essential reference source that evaluates the effectiveness of monetary policies and the independence of central banks to contribute to economic development within seven emerging economies (E7): Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey. Featuring research on topics such as global economics, independent banking, and foreign investing, this book is ideally designed for financial analysts, economists, government officials, policymakers, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students seeking coverage on improved econometric methods for effective financial systems.
Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye
Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye are two of Canada's central cultural figures, colleagues and rivals whose careers unfolded in curious harmony even as their intellectual engagement was antagonistic. Poet, novelist, essayist and philosopher B.W. Powe, who studied with both of these formidable and influential intellectuals, presents an exploration of their lives and work in Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye: Apocalypse and Alchemy. Powe considers the existence of a unique visionary tradition of Canadian humanism and argues that McLuhan and Frye represent fraught but complementary approaches to the study of literature and to the broader engagement with culture. Examining their eloquent but often acid responses to each other, Powe exposes the scholarly controversies and personal conflicts that erupted between them, and notably the great commonalities in their writing and biographies. Using interviews, letters, notebooks, and their published texts, Powe offers a new alchemy of their thought, in which he combines the philosophical hallmarks of McLuhan's The medium is the message and Frye's the great code.

75 ensayos breves de economía crítica en homenaje a Benjamín Bastida
Este libro reúne 75 escritos cortos de economía crítica. Cada una de estas pequeñas perlas está pensada con independencia de las demás pero tienen algo en común que las aglutina: sus autores las han escrito como homenaje a Benjamín Bastida en ocasión de su jubilación. Benjamín Bastida, profesor de Política Económica de la Universidad de Barcelona, es un economista humanista que interpreta la Economía como una ciencia social y cree que su única razón de ser es la consecución del bienestar de las personas. Sus estudios son un referente para los que se acercan a nuestra ciencia desde una posición heterodoxa. Los autores, académicos y profesionales de la economía, colegas y amigos, han compartido con Benjamín en diversos momentos del camino este difícil sendero de búsqueda de alternativas a la visión económica dominante. Con sus aportaciones a este libro, nos asoman a las claves para entender algunos de los hechos más relevantes de la economía actual. El resultado es un compendio de reflexiones comprometidas y apasionadas que interesarán al lector inquieto por la insuficiencia explicativa de las aproximaciones económicas convencionales.
