Um breve retorno a Keynes
Na década de 1970, toda a teoria keynesiana foi posta em xeque pelo monetarismo friedminiano que resgatou a TQM para explicar a economia capitalista e a estagflação, fundamentando-se na mão invisível de Smith e na lei de Say, reafirmando que o reajuste automático dos mercados inviabilizam as crises económicas do capitalismo. As conceções autoajustáveis da teoria clássica tradicional e do monetarismo não deram cabo das crises económicas e com a crise de 2008, os olhos dos economistas voltaram-se novamente para Keynes, à procura de uma explicação mais realista. Este livro procura explorar a teoria keynesiana das crises económicas e mostrar que: esta teoria continua a ser um guia útil para analisar e explicar as atuais crises do capitalismo contemporâneo; contém importantes insights sobre o sistema financeiro que não foram devidamente explorados pelos seus seguidores, à exceção do economista Hyman Minsky; traz alerta sobre o perigo das economias de mercado se submeterem ao jugo do mercado bolsista, que nos remete para a atual fase do capitalismo.
Comentários sobre a teoria quantitativa da moeda e o monetarismo de Friedman - Fundamentos e Incongruências
Este texto trata de uma análise crítica à “teoria quantitativa da moeda” (TQM) sob uma ótica basicamente keynesiana, alargando-se também ao monetarismo friedmaniano, que alcançou o seu apogeu na década de 1970, tornando-se o mainstream teórico ao deslocar os conceitos keynesianos, que prevaleceram nos anos posteriores à Segunda Guerra Mundial. Procuro demonstrar que o monetarismo friedmaniano não se afastou fundamentalmente da formulação inicial, apontando tanto às suas contradições, quanto a impossibilidade de uma teoria arcaica explicar a complexidade de uma economia capitalista moderna, reduzindo esta complexidade a uma equação básica simplória, rudimentar. Inicialm...
UMA CRÍTICA À ECONOMIA CLÁSSICA: methodological approach, fundamentos, homo economicus, microeconomia, objeto do conhecimento, contexto histórico da mão invisível
Este artigo é uma crítica à economia clássica, aos seus fundamentos e está dividido em três partes. Na primeira parte procuro mostrar quais as consequências que uma abordagem tomada de empréstimo das ciências naturais terá sobre o arcabouço teórico da teoria clássica e congêneres. Isto porque, para uma análise crítica, não é suficiente apenas afirmar que estes approaches lhes são estranhos. É necessário aprofundar a análise demonstrando a importância destes approaches nos fundamentos e conceitos da teoria econômica clássica e como esta visão de mundo leva a uma concepção muito particular da atividade econômica. A segunda parte dedico a uma análise crítica da mi...

Mergers and Productivity
Mergers and Productivity offers probing analyses of high-profile mergers in a variety of industries. Focusing on specific acquisitions, it illustrates the remarkable range of contingencies involved in any merger attempt. The authors clearly establish each merger's presumed objectives and the potential costs and benefits of the acquisition, and place it within the context of the broader industry. Striking conclusions that emerge from these case studies are that merger and acquisition activities were associated with technological or regulatory shocks, and that a merger's success or failure was dependent upon the acquirer's thorough understanding of the target, its corporate culture, and its workforce and wage structures prior to acquisition. Sifting through a wealth of carefully gathered evidence, these papers capture the richness, the complexity, and the economic intangibles inherent in contemporary merger activity in a way that large-scale studies of mergers cannot.
Samba
Barbara Browning combines a lyrical, personal narrative with incisive theoretical accounts of Brazilian dance cultures. While she brings ethnographic, historiographic, and musicological scholarship to bear on her subject, Browning writes as a dancer, fully engaged in the dance cultures of Brazil and of Brazilian exile communities in the U.S.
Corporate Takeovers
The takeover boom that began in the mid-1980s has exhibited many phenomena not previously observed, such as hostile takeovers and takeover defenses, a widespread use of cash as a means of payment for targeted firms, and the acquisitions of companies ranking among the largest in the country. With the aim of more fully understanding the implications of such occurances, contributors to this volume consider a broad range of issues as they analyze mergers and acquisitions and study the takeoveer process itself.
The Making of an Enterprise
Based on more than two decades of research conducted on five continents, this monumental work focuses on the activities of members of the Society of Jesus from its foundation to the eve of its expulsion from the Portuguese world. A second volume will examine the Orders expulsion, the fate of its members, and the disposition of its assets in Portugal and her empire from 1750 to 1808. The present volume begins with the Societys introduction to Portugal and traces its expansion throughout what the Society defined as the Portuguese Assistancy, a vast complex of administrative units that included the kingdom of Portugal and her empire plus portions of the Indian subcontinent, Japan, China, th...
Aerospace power in the twenty-first century a basic primer
Dr. Chun's Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century: A Basic Primer is a great start towards understanding the importance of aerospace power and its ability to conduct modern warfare. Aerospace power is continually changing because of new technology, threats, and air and space theories. However, many basic principles about aerospace power have stood the test of time and warfare. This book provides the reader with many of these time-tested ideas for consideration and reflection. Although Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century was written for future officers, individuals desiring a broad overview of aerospace power are invited to read, share, and discuss many of the ideas and thoughts presented here. Officers from other services will find that this introduction to air and space forces will give them a good grasp of aerospace power. More experienced aerospace leaders can use this book to revisit many of the issues that have affected air and space forces in the past and that might affect them in the future. Air Force officers will discover that Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century is a very timely and reflective resource for their professional libraries.
The End of Politics?
Since communism collapsed we have witnessed the emergence of numerous political actors - neopopulists, neoliberals, fundamentalists, nationalists, and others - who share one ideological leitmotif: their deep contempt for modern democratic politics. The book asks an old question: What is politics? And it adds a new one to the agenda of social sciences: What is antipolitics? Some authors trace antipolitical traditions in Western political thought, while others analyze the rhetoric of contemporary antipolitical actors in the US, the former Soviet Union, and South America. The book contains contributions from Charles H. Fairbanks Jr, Barry Hindess, Erwin A. Jaffe, Norbert Lechner, Jose Nun, Louis Pauly, Andreas Schedler, and Gershon Weiler.
