Bretton Woods Conference The Bretton Woods Conference, formally known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, was the gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations at the Mount Washington Hotel, situated in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of World War II.[1] The conference was held from the 1st to 22nd of July, 1944.

The main terms of this agreement were: Encouraging open markets[edit] The seminal idea behind the Bretton Woods Conference was the notion of open markets. Failed proposals[edit] Quotes[edit]
MITOS DE LA ECONOMÍA I: EL DÉFICIT PÚBLICO. - La Hora del Pincho Ante la avalancha de consignas neoliberales que bombardean sin cesar desde los principales medios de persuasión del país hemos decidido aportar nuestro grano de arena al combate contra tales dogmas. Y es que a menudo se nos plantean cuestiones económicas ideologizadas como si de la verdad absoluta se tratase, cuando no lo son ni mucho menos. Se nos dice que no hay alternativas, que es lo único que se puede hacer, que la economía es una ciencia exacta y el resultado lógico-matemático de los modelos económicos muestran el camino a seguir, cuando en realidad se trata de una apuesta de clase con desarrollo matemático, o a veces ni eso, como el caso que vamos a tratar a continuación. Antes de continuar hay que dejar claro qué es eso del déficit público o presupuestario. Déficit público es la situación en la cual los gastos realizados por el Estado u otras entidades públicas en un determinado período, normalmente un año, superan a sus ingresos no financieros.
Bitcoin Decentralized digital currency Bitcoin (abbreviation: BTC[a] or XBT[b]; sign: ₿) is a protocol which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. In order to add to the ledger, a user must prove they control an entry in the ledger. The protocol specifies that the entry indicates an amount of a token, bitcoin with a minuscule b. The user can update the ledger, assigning some of their bitcoin to another entry in the ledger. The Library of Congress reports that, as of November 2021, nine countries have fully banned bitcoin use, and a further forty-two have implicitly banned it.[15] A few governments have used bitcoin in some capacity. Bitcoin has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight recipients of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[17] Design Units and divisibility The unit of account of the bitcoin system is the bitcoin.

¿Qué dice tu letra de ti? Descúbrelo en este infográfico gigante sobre grafología La grafología es una de esas ciencias limítrofes que gozan de tantos adeptos como escépticos: en un sentido forense e incluso paleográfico, ubicar y reconocer las recurrencias en la forma de las letras de una persona puede servir no sólo para identificar a sus autores, sino para establecer ciertas pautas de personalidad: el estado emocional sería, si no evidente, sí posiblemente diferenciable a través del énfasis con que apoyamos el instrumento de escritura. Además de servir para identificar más de 5 mil patrones de personalidad, la grafología médica puede ayudar a reconocer etapas tempranas de enfermedades degenerativas.
The Psychology of Prejudice Este artículo actualmente está siendo traducido a múltiples idiomas como parte de una iniciativa de la Asociación Americana de Psicología conocida como "El Prejuicio en cualquier idioma: el proyecto de traducción del prejuicio." El artículo es una adaptación de Plous, S. (2003). La psicología del prejuicio, el estereotipo y la discriminación: Un resumen. En S. Plous (Ed.), Comprendiendo el prejuicio y la discriminación (pp. 3-48). La matanza de americanos y de sus aliados militares y civiles es una obligación religiosa de cada musulmán... imaginar ejemplos de prejuicio más clásicos que las declaraciones de Osama Bin Laden. En donde esté latente el prejuicio, los estereotipos muy rara vez quedan atrás.

Beyond Money: Notes on Neoliberalism and its Alternative In our modern world of reality television, smartphones, and Wal-Mart, it is easy for one to forget that there is a network of influences and power structures that direct the course of our daily lives as individuals and as a society. While one may worry that he or she will not catch the bus or that a thief might break into one’s car and steal the stereo, we pay little mind to what is needed to make the buses run or why an individual may turn to a life of thievery. Even major issues, such as the scare that the United States government might have shut down in the face of a debt crisis or the Occupy Wall Street protests, receive their time in the spotlight on major news networks and are then glossed over in a matter of weeks. To wit: when was the last time you thought about Darfur, or Goldman Sachs? However, there is something else about capitalism that most people do not know: there is an alternative. The Roots of Capitalism Shock and Awe A World without Money Then, what else is there?

5 Epic Sci-Fi Movies You Can Watch In Under 10 Minutes #2. The Silent City It's rare to get the full movie experience from a short. It's the nature of the medium. There's not enough time to nail everything, but sometimes it's enough just to get one small aspect down in its entirety -- you generally have to choose between plot, character development, and atmosphere. If that's not Cillian Murphy, I don't know who is (Crispin Glover?). But just because The Silent City nails atmosphere above all else, that doesn't mean it does a poor job at anything. So it's a shame that I can't enjoy this flick at all. It's like spotting your favorite NERF gun in Hunter Prey, or your old TV remote being used to hail the Enterprise. #1. Zombie movies have been done to death (undead zing!) With that in mind, Cargo does more for the relevancy of the zombie film in 30 seconds than the entire second season of The Walking Dead. The premise of Cargo (you're uh ... you're watching these before you read the write-ups, right?)
