Uma obra que contribui para o debate em torno da genealogia e da influência do catolicismo social no Brasil e de sua afinidade eletiva com o pensamento humanista. No contexto da Guerra Fria, as construções discursivas e as práticas disruptivas no interior da catolicidade reposicionaram a instituição ao lhe exigir um protagonismo político-social. Para entender parte desse processo, os autores propuseram-se a refletir sobre o vanguardismo do novo pensamento e ação católica no Brasil, sobre o papel dessa instituição ao mitigar conflitos polarizantes e sobre a ideia do crescimento econômico associado ao desenvolvimento humano. Foram reunidos também outros estudos para tratar dos exercícios do poder religioso na sociedade brasileira.

Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.

As a result, basic income experiments are being set up around the world to better inform policymakers' decisions. However, there is little consensus about what kinds of questions these experiments can or cannot answer, how they should be designed, and what role, if any, they play in rolling out basic income policy. This book offers a detailed review of completed, ongoing and planned basic income experiments in order to examine the value of and complications inherent in conducting such experiments and to provide best-practice guidelines for future social experimentation and policy development.
