El totalitarismo es un concepto que surgió en las entreguerras mundiales del siglo XX; sus derivaciones son múltiples y, aunque aquí no revisaremos ni una sola, son referente de este esfuerzo colectivo. Es inevitable tener en cuenta la experiencia de cualquier sistema que ha pretendido la supremacía de un solo pensamiento. La más atroz, sin duda, es la destrucción de la democracia y la libertad en el nombre de la superioridad racial o de alguna clase social, sea el proletariado o un ente amorfo y difuso llamado “pueblo”, que conduciría al paraíso, guiado por alguien con delirios de iluminado o pretensiones de mesías.” Marco Levario Turcott
En la próxima elección a la gubernatura del Estado de México se juega demasiado. No sólo es una elección local que definirá el futuro de la propia entidad. También es por razones conocidas y novedosas una elección nacional. Conocidas, porque es el estado más poblado, indisociable de la gran metrópolis, con el padrón electoral más grande, que le permite fincar al ganador un bastión determinante para la próxima elección presidencial. Novedosas, porque en esta elección acaso el PRI se juega su existencia misma, y la alianza opositora la suya. Si el PRI pierde, la coalición de la que es parte posiblemente también se disuelva como la conocemos. En esta elección se juega la sobr...
This study of illness in heads of government between 1901 and 2007 considers how illness and therapy - both physical and mental - affect the process of government and decision-making, leading to acts of folly, in the sense of stupidity or rashness.

It is difficult to find justice-centered books geared specifically for community college practi-tioners interested in achieving campus wide educational equity. It is even more difficult to find a book in this vein written, exclusively, by community college practitioners. Minding the Obligation Gap in Community Colleges and Beyondis just that: a concerted effort by a cross-representational group of community college practitioners working to catalyze conversations and eventually practices that attend to the most pressing equity gaps in and on our campuses. By illuminating the constitutive parts of the ever-increasing obligation gap, this book offers both theory and practice in reforming community colleges so that they function as disruptive technologies. It is our position that equity-centered community colleges hold the potential to call out, impede, and even disrupt institutionalized polices, pedagogies, and practices that negatively impact poor, ethno-racially minoritized students of color. If you and your college is interested in striving for educational equity campus-wide please join us in this ongoing conversation on how to work for equity for all of the students that we serve.

Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.” In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Oba...
Evidence indicates that the current high duty rates, coupled with weak tax administration, lead to widespread evasion of the tax through underdeclaration. This underdeclaration of property values directly affects collection of other taxes, among them, property taxes and capital gains tax. Moreover, it indirectly affects the collection of all taxes through the impact of underdeclaration on the circulation of black money. Simulations indicate that revenues lost due to a lowering of stamp duty rates closer to international levels are quite likely to be recovered in higher collections of other taxes. However, these taxes would at least in part be collected by other levels of government. So reform could be made a more viable option through appropriately designed intergovernmental transfers.
