The Book of Payments
This book examines the nature of retail financial transaction infrastructures. Contributions assume a long-term outlook in their exploration of the key financial processes and systems that support a global transition to a cashless economy. The volume offers both modern and historic accounts that demonstrate the constantly changing role of payment instruments. It brings together different theoretical approaches to the study, re-examining and forecasting changes in retail payment systems. Chapters explore a global transition to a cashless society and contemplate future alternatives to cash, cheques and plastic, featuring the perspectives of academics from different disciplines in conversation and industry participants from six continents. Readers are invited to discover the innovation in payment systems and how it co-evolves with changes in society and organisations through personal, corporate and governmental processes.
Política de Estado
Este libro analiza los discursos de la Corona que la reina Isabel II leía ante el Congreso de Diputados al comienzo de cada legislatura durante la Década Moderada. En ese documento los sucesivos gobiernos plasmaban la política que pretendían seguir en los más diversos ámbitos: política exterior, relaciones con la Iglesia, política económica, presupuestos, orden público, relaciones entre la Monarquía y las Cortes, etc. Pocos días después de leído el discurso se formaba una comisión parlamentaria que redactaba un proyecto de contestación al documento leído por la reina. Este texto, que apenas disentía del presentado por el Gobierno, era debatido en profundidad por los diputados en los días sucesivos, llegando a prolongarse su discusión a veces durante varios meses. Por lo tanto, los discursos de la Corona y su debate constituyen un buen campo de observación para comprender las políticas gubernamentales y las diferentes corrientes de opinión que existían entre los parlamentarios, no siempre coincidentes con el Gobierno.
