Bretton Woods Conference

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.
Opinion / Lead : New geography with old geometry
The international institutional structure has remained largely static since the mid-20th century rather than evolving with the changing power realities and challenges. Reforming and restructuring the international system poses the single biggest challenge to preserving global peace, stability, and continued economic growth. A 21st century world cannot remain indefinitely saddled with 20th century institutions and rules. Power shifts are an inexorable phenomenon in history. For example, it was only after the Cold War began that the Soviet Union rose as a global military power, although it failed to become a true economic power. Quirk of history The United States emerged as the sole superpower due to a quirk of history — the sudden, unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union. The fact is that there has never been a global hegemon on the lines of America. A liberal, rules-based international order for the 21st century can be developed if sincere efforts begin toward that goal.

¿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.

Keynesian economics
The theories forming the basis of Keynesian economics were first presented by the British economist John Maynard Keynes in his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, during the Great Depression. Keynes contrasted his approach to the aggregate supply-focused 'classical' economics that preceded his book. The interpretations of Keynes that followed are contentious and several schools of economic thought claim his legacy. Keynesian economists often argue that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes which require active policy responses by the public sector, in particular, monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government, in order to stabilize output over the business cycle.[2] Keynesian economics advocates a mixed economy – predominantly private sector, but with a role for government intervention during recessions.
