DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn December 1989, the United States invaded Panama, deposed its government, and established another in its place. While this act of violent intervention brought Panama to public attention, the justifications for it obscured the underlying instabilities that have plagued the country throughout its history. Although a stated purpose of the invasion was to remove one man, Manuel Noriega, from power, Panama at the Crossroads demonstrates that the crisis sweeping Panama in the late 1980s was not caused by one man, but in fact derived from the history of U.S. domination and the nature of Panamanian society itself. Panama is located at a crucial geographic crossroads, a fact that has greatly influenced the country's history since the sixteenth century. Labor scarcity and inhospitable terrain, joined with its location, contributed to the mercantile orientation of Panama's economy. Accordingly, the country's politics and economics have been consistently dominated by foreign trading interests, first from Spain, then Colombia and the United States. Now in the 1990s, Panama stands at a historical and economic crossroads, and according to Zimbalist and Weeks its traditional entrepôt institutions are no longer able to promote and sustain growth. Before building the basis for long-term economic expansion, Panama must first undo the devastating economic and political damage engendered by nearly three years of U.S. economic sanctions and the U.S. invasion. In this timely book, Zimbalist and Weeks document the origins and characteristics of this crossroads. Their analysis points the way to a more encompassing and equitable strategy for Panama's economic development. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1991.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnnotation. A former US foreign service officer with a background in information studies, Langstaff selects and annotates studies of the Central American country in English, and in Spanish for topics that are not fully treated in English-language publications. She here updates the 1980 edition with publications up to 1998. The entries are presented in topical sections, among them tourism and travel guides, languages, agriculture, and professional periodicals. Only two of the five works cited in the transport section are specifically about the Panama Canal, but the canal figures into most aspects of the country's life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSacroeconomía analiza la historia del dinero desde las antiguas economías del obsequio hasta el capitalismo moderno, revelando hasta qué punto el sistema monetario ha contribuido a la alienación, la competencia y la escasez, ha destruido el sentimiento de comunidad y ha obligado al crecimiento ilimitado. Estas tendencias han llegado a su extremo hoy en día. Sin embargo, tras su derrumbe podríamos hallar una gran oportunidad para acometer la transición hacia un modo de ser más interconectado, ecológico y sostenible. Este libro trata de la transformación que deberá experimentar —y que ya experimenta— el sistema monetario para encarnar dicha transición. Sacroeconomía ofrece una síntesis amplia que integra teoría, políticas y prácticas, y examina conceptos vanguardistas de la Nueva Economía, entre ellos la moneda de interés negativo, la moneda local, la economía basada en los recursos, las economías del obsequio y la restauración del procomún. El autor, Charles Eisenstein, sopesa también las dimensiones personales de esta transición, dirigiéndose a quienes aspiran a un “modo de subsistencia correcto” y a vivir en consonancia con sus ideales en un mundo aparentemente gobernado por el dinero. Recurriendo a una larga tradición de pensamiento económico convencional y no convencional, Sacroeconomía presenta una visión original a la vez que sensata, radical a la vez que moderada; una visión de creciente relevancia ante la crisis, cada vez más profunda, de nuestra civilización.
