Desde algunas corrientes de pensamiento, se considera a la economía como una caja de herramientas a la que acudir para resolver necesidades múltiples contando con recursos escasos. Desde otras, en cambio, se adopta la categoría de economía política como clave para articular teoría y conceptos con el análisis de procesos históricos y sujetos sociales. Este es justamente el camino que sigue Eduardo Basualdo en este libro, en el que toma el concepto...

From the author of Popular Economics comes a surprisingly sunny projection of America's future job market. Forget the doomsday predictions of sour-faced nostalgists who say automization and globalization will take away your dream job. The job market is only going to get better and better, according to economist John Tamny, who argues in The End of Work that the greatest gift of prosperity, beyond freedom from painful want, is the existence of work...

While by most measures the economy has been improving, soaring cost of living and stagnant wages have done little to assuage economic anxieties. Conditions like these seem designed to produce a generation-defining intervention to balance the economic scales and enhance opportunities for those at the middle and...

Why is it, then, that opportunities for speculative investment continue to proliferate in the wake of major economic crises? To make sense of this, Capital and Time advances an understanding of economy as a process whereby patterns of order emerge out of the...
