Ximénez
José Joaquín Jiménez nació en Bogotá en 1911, pero este acontecimiento sólo fue registrado hasta 1915 para ocultar el hecho de haber sido concebido mucho antes de que sus padres oficializaran su matrimonio. Esta fue la primera de una serie de ficciones que definieron su personalidad y que él luego incorporó al ejercicio periodístico, al que dedicó su corta vida. Fue conocido como ‘Ximénez’ y se destacó como cronista —en los diarios El Tiempo y El Espectador—, mezclando fantasía y realidad para informar y divertir a sus lectores. En concordancia, esta novela articula una rigurosa investigación histórica con narraciones imaginadas y nos acerca a la enigmática existencia de uno de los más fascinantes reporteros en la historia de Colombia.

A History of Colombian Economic Thought
Ever since the quest for independence between 1810 and 1819, economic thought in Colombia has been shaped by policy debates and characterized by a pragmatic and eclectic approach. Economic thought in Colombia can only be revealed through the exploration of economists’ practices and the role of economic arguments within broader public debate. This history of Colombian economic thought provides a detailed account of major issues that have marked the constant feedback between economic ideas and economic practice in Colombia during the 19th and 20th centuries. This volume is thus a history of the interaction between ideas and policy. Those involved in these debates – politicians, public offi...
Counter-Cola
Counter-Cola charts the history of one of the world’s most influential and widely known corporations, the Coca-Cola Company. It tells the story of how, over the past 130 years, the corporation has tried to make its products and brands physically and culturally a central part of global daily life in over 200 countries. Through this story of Coca-Cola, Amanda Ciafone reveals the pursuit of corporate power within the key economic transformations—liberal, developmentalist, neoliberal—of the 20th and 21st centuries. A story of global capitalism, it is not without contest. People throughout the world have redeployed the corporation, its commodities, and brand images to challenge the injustices of daily life under capitalism. As Ciafone shows, assertions of national economic interests, critiques of cultural homogenization, fights for workers’ rights, movements for environmental justice, and debates over public health have obliged the corporation to justify itself in terms of the common good, demonstrating capitalism’s imperative to assimilate critiques or reveal its limits.
