Some argue that China has chosen, once and for all, the “capitalist road” and intends even to accelerate its integration into contemporary capitalist globalization. They are quite pleased with this and hope only that this “return to normality” (capitalism being the “end of history”) is accompanied by development towards Western-style democracy (multiple parties, elections, human rights).

Timothy Mitchell, Columbia Timothy Mitchell is a political theorist and historian. His areas of research include the place of colonialism in the making of modernity, the material and technical politics of the Middle East, and the role of economics and other forms of expert knowledge in the government of collective life. Much of his current work is concerned with ways of thinking about politics that allow material and technical things more weight than they are given in conventional political theory. Educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he received a first-class honours degree in History, Mitchell completed his Ph.D. in Politics and Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University in 1984. He joined Columbia University in 2008 after teaching for twenty-five years at New York University, where he served as Director of the Center for Near Eastern Studies.

Konservative Kapitalismus-Kritik Es ist eine kaum überwindbare Herausforderung für derzeit lebende Zeitgenossen, die Verschiedenartigkeit der uns umgebenden und auf uns einwirkenden, von unseren Gesellschaften hervorgebrachten und diese wandelnden Entwicklungen zu erkennen. In den tiefgreifenden und temporeichen Dynamiken, die uns und unsere Leben heute prägen, gehen kurzfristig-flüchtige, mittelfristig-episodische als auch langfristig-anhaltende Veränderungsprozesse unauflösbare Verbindungen ein. Nur, wenn es gelingt, diese Ebenen geistig auseinanderzuhalten, können wir diesen nüchternen Befund tätigen: Die sogenannten modernen Gesellschaften sind vom "Kapitalismus", der nichts anderes ist als ein mächtiger gesellschaftlicher Mechanismus, in eine prekäre Lage getrieben worden. Möglich wurde dies allein deshalb, weil politische Steuerung oder Gestaltung, politische Zähmung oder Begrenzung, politische Kontrolle oder Korrektur zusammenbrachen. Solch klare Worte mögen Schirrmacher nicht über die Lippen kommen.

Crítica Contemporánea. Revista de Teoría Política El Blogueo De manera relativamente frecuente se lee o escucha en los medios de comunicación que los precios de los medicamentos en Colombia son relativamente altos frente a los que se cobren en otros países de la región, y que inclusive pueden llegar en algunos casos en superar los precios de los países desarrollados. En 2009, la asociación Health Action International ha publicado un estudio que muestra después de recoger datos en 93 países una situación efectivamente preocupante. Uno de los ejemplos destacado de este estudio es el precio del antibiótico ciprofloxacino. Mientras que en promedio que esta molécula que ya perdió su patente se puede conseguir a un precio de 31 dólares en China su precio vale casi 100 dólares más en Colombia. En muchos foros dedicados al sistema de salud colombiano se aborda generalmente el tema de los precios de los medicamentos con una indignación totalmente entendible pero infortunadamente el diagnostico no va mucho más allá de la simple indignación.

Don Mitchell Degree Ph.D., Rutgers University, 1992 Specialties Hat die Linke tatsächlich Recht? Seit die "freien Märkte" weltweit im Aufruhr sind, die Politik mit ihrer Bewältigung und vor allem der ihrer eigenen finanzpolitischen Verfehlungen zunehmend überfordert scheint, ist nichts mehr so, wie es scheint. Sogar die Bürgerlichen und Wertkonservativen beginnen an der Politik, an ihrem Weltbild und ihren einst gültigen Wirtschaftsdogmen zu zweifeln. Anzeige "Empört Euch!", rief der greise Stéphane Hessel vor ein paar Monaten seinen französischen Landsleuten zu. Brecht die Macht des Geldes, stoppt den Ausverkauf unserer Demokratie, stellt ihre Werte und Tugenden wieder her, war dort zu lesen.

Ofreceríamos una sopa de la cual, como gran novedad, no emergería Luis Carlos Vélez, como me sucedió hace poco.

Publicado:03/22/2014Último 'tour' por Petrópolis The Looting of Bogotá Colombia is not a country known for good governance or institutions. Long the drug and murder capital of the world, it has been struggling back towards some sort of stability since the government of President Álvaro Uribe between 2002 and 2010 brought large improvements in security. Yet even in the worst of days in the 1990s, the capital city Bogotá provided some small grounds for optimism. Starting with the election of Jaime Castro as mayor in 1992 and accelerating with the election of Antanas Mockus in 1995, Enrique Peñalosa in 1998 and the second Mockus administration between 2001 and 2003 big changes happened in Bogotá.

The economics of hope and poverty Why does the policy of reserving seats for women in some of West Bengal’s panchayats improve the state of girls’ education? Why do Kenyan farmers refuse to use cheap and easily available fertilisers, though they know it will improve harvests? Or, for that matter, why don’t Bangladeshi migrant workers travel to cities for work during lean periods by spending merely $8 for returns worth more than 10 times that amount? The answers, Esther Duflo, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes, lies in understanding the role of hope, or the lack of it, in the decisions made by the poor.
