O presente livro é resultado de estudos desenvolvidos sobre a práxis educativa efetivada por diferentes sujeitos sociais escolares e não-escolares. Procuramos compreender os fundamentos e as tramas do fenômeno educativo na nova realidade forjada pelo desenvolvimento da sociedade capitalista, que tem exigido dos sujeitos sociais, ou melhor, ensinado a eles, uma nova forma de sentir, de pensar, de conhecer, de fazer e de ser. Nesse contexto, ocorre a emergência de um conceito que, embora não seja novo, ressurge no momento atual como uma das grandes referências para os educadores, qual seja: o de sociedade civil.

Chilean poet, educator, diplomat, and feminist Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) rose from poverty in the foothills of the Andes to become the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1945. This volume provides both a detailed biography of the author and a careful analysis of her writing. Chronicling the personal, psychological, and social currents of Mistral's life and times, it addresses such topics as her finances, illness, and sexuality. Literary analysis considers the sacred and secular influences on Mistral's oevre, including Catholicism, the Hebraic tradition, Theosophy, and Buddhism. By recounting Mistral's intelligence and perseverance in overcoming her life's obstacles to reach the pinnacle of her field, this book establishes her as a model for Chileans and for humanity.

Government support to banks through the provision of explicit or implicit guarantees affects the willingness of banks to take on risk by reducing market discipline or by increasing charter value. We use an international sample of bank data and government support to banks for the periods 2003-2004 and 2009-2010. We find that more government support is associated with more risk taking by banks, especially during the financial crisis (2009-10). We also find that restricting banks' range of activities ameliorates the moral hazard problem. We conclude that strengthening market discipline in the banking sector is needed to address this moral hazard problem.
