Economic disparity between ethnic and racial groups is a ubiquitous
and pervasive phenomenon internationally. Gaps between groups
encompass employment, wage, occupational status and wealth
differentials. Virtually every nation is comprised of a group whose
material well-being is sharply depressed in comparison with
another, socially dominant group.
The world economy is currently in the throes of a global economic crisis reminiscent of the great depressions of the 1930s and the 1870s. As back then, the crisis has exposed the major structural imbalances in financial and credit markets in addition to global trade forcing many governments, developed and developing, to impose debilitating austerity measures that are exacerbating the structural weaknesses that caused the crisis in the first place. This volume offers historical insights into the origins of the contemporary crisis as well as detailed analyses of the financial and trade dimensions, an assessment of the technological and innovation context along with perspectives on the implications for unemployment and gender imbalances.

This book contains selected papers from the Annual Conference on Development and Change (ACDC) held at Sao Paulo in November 2006. Second in a series of three conferences, the 2006 ACDC showcased research by relatively younger scholars. While precise and rigorous alternatives to the neoliberal agenda are often overlooked in the huge volume of literature that addresses the larger issues, both aspects - the larger picture and the smaller nuts-and-bolts details - are very important, and this volume fills the gaps in the latter category. These papers were written before the global recession, and events subsequent to the conference and the writing of these papers have validated several of the concerns raised by their authors. This volume focuses on a plethora of issues from the point of view of the South. It demonstrates, for example, that if capital inflows exceed a certain volume - no matter how they are absorbed - such openness will inevitably result in a crisis in the receiving country. The popular understanding of foreign portfolio investment as more benign than foreign direct investment (FDI) is also challenged. By contrasting contemporary capital flows as well as the international capital flows of the nineteenth century, this collection highlights the role of regulation and the role of the state, and ultimately emphasizes the need for recipient country governments to exercise policy options to control the volume of foreign capital inflows.

Green revolution is a summit discussed at a global level. Today each country has passed a resolution to save environment. As a pharmacist, we often handle different drugs and chemicals to formulate different delivery systems to make the society healthy. We can contribute maximum to save environment. To support the resolution, we applied a novel coating system i.e. solvent-free coating for solid oral formulations to impart varying characteristics to them. Novel solvent-free coating technique was used to coat pellets and was evaluated for different parameters. Results revealed that the novel process is less time consuming as there is no solvent to be evaporated and no additional curing step is required, making the process time & cost effective. With judicious selection of excipients, the same process can be employed for varying interests such as masking the bitter taste of actives, achieving the zero order release pattern of water soluble drugs and improving the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs, which makes the process precise & ecofriendly.
