Migrant Remittances and Development in the Global Economy
Manuel Orozco moves beyond the numbers to provide a uniquely comprehensive, historically informed overview and analysis of the complex role of migrant remittances in the global economy.

Does Hegel's Contradiction Contradict?
Hegel seems to overcome the ontological principle of contradiction Aristotle referred to as "the most certain of all principles." According to Aristotle, "everything must be either affirmed or denied;" "is" has all the strength of a statement and "is not" is its negation.
