Sistema financiero en perspectiva
Aristóteles afirmaba: «El hombre es el único animal que tiene palabra y dinero. El dinero es algo inventado por el ser humano para satisfacer las necesidades del comercio». Desde entonces, el sistema financiero no ha dejado de transformarse: desde el nacimiento del papel moneda en la Edad Media hasta la creación del dinero fiduciario, las primeras bolsas de valores, los modernos sistemas de pagos, compensación y liquidación de operaciones y la irrupción de las monedas virtuales. La innovación financiera avanza a un ritmo tan rápido que, tanto los mercados como los instrumentos financieros que movilizan recursos entre agentes, han tenido que adaptarse a una realidad siempre cambiant...
Just Business: Multinational Corporations and Human Rights (Norton Global Ethics Series)
"A true master class in the art of making the impossible possible." —Paul Polman One of the most vexing human rights issues of our time has been how to protect the rights of individuals and communities worldwide in an age of globalization and multinational business. Indeed, from Indonesian sweatshops to oil-based violence in Nigeria, the challenges of regulating harmful corporate practices in some of the world’s most difficult regions long seemed insurmountable.

But wages are stagnant and prices are rising, so that everything from a bottle of beer to a prosthetic hip costs more. Economist Jan Eeckhout shows how this is due to a small number of companies exploiting an unbridled rise in market power—the ability to set prices higher than they could in a properly functioning competitive marketplace. Drawing on his own groundbreaking research and telling the stories of common workers through...
A Short History of Distributive Justice
Distributive justice in its modern sense calls on the state to guarantee that everyone is supplied with a certain level of material means. Samuel Fleischacker argues that guaranteeing aid to the poor is a modern idea, developed only in the last two centuries. Earlier notions of justice, including Aristotle's, were concerned with the distribution of political office, not of property. It was only in the eighteenth century, in the work of philosophers such as Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant, that justice began to be applied to the problem of poverty. To attribute a longer pedigree to distributive justice is to fail to distinguish between justice and charity. Fleischacker explains how confusing the...
