In the wake of the financial crisis in 2008, historians have turned
with renewed urgency to understanding the economic dimension of
historical change. In this collection, nine scholars present
original research into the historical development of money and
credit during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and explore
the social and cultural significance of financial phenomena from a
global perspective. Together with an introduction by the editors,
chapters emphasize themes of creditworthiness and access to credit,
the role of the state in the loan market, modernization,
colonialism, and global connections between markets. The first
section of the volume, "Creditworthiness and Credit Risks,"
examines microfinancial markets in South India and Sri Lanka,
Brazil, and the United States, in which access to credit depended
largely on reputation, while larger investors showed a strong
interest in policing economic behavior and encouraging thrift among
market participants. The second section, "The Loan Market and the
State," concerns attempts by national governments to regulate the
lending activities of merchants and banks for social ends, from the
liberal regime of nineteenth-century Switzerland to the far more
statist policies of post-revolutionary Mexico, and U.S. legislation
that strove to eliminate discrimination in lending. The third
section, "Money, Commercial Exchange, and Global Connections,"
focuses on colonial and semicolonial societies in the Philippines,
China, and Zimbabwe, where currency reform and the development of
organized financial markets engendered conflict over competing
models of economic development, often pitting the colony against
the metropole. This volume offers a cultural history by considering
money and credit as social relations, and explores how such
relations were constructed and articulated by contemporaries.
Chapters employ a variety of methodologies, including analyses of
popular literature and the viewpoints of experts and professionals,
investigations of policy measures and emerging social practices,
and interpretations of quantitative data.

"Por Amor" es un proyecto intimo con los mejores poemas de la
autora publicados a lo largo de estos anos en su Blog. Dentro de el
se muestra la fascinacion por la vida y lo que le da sentido al
amor, esto es, el lenguaje que manejan las personas que tienen la
capacidad de percibir la belleza del mundo que nos rodea. Es un
reto por comprender nuestra propia naturaleza y al mismo tiempo, es
una mirada al pasado, ya que dentro tambien se encuentra el
recopilatorio "An-verso." Dos momentos diferentes que dan sentido a
su Titulo, ya que ambos fueron escritos desde la felicidad de
sentirse amado y tambien desde el dolor de sentirse perdido.
(Del lat. visibilitas, atis). 1. f. Cualidad de visible. 2. f.
Mayor o menor distancia a que, segun las condiciones atmosfericas,

verguenza y culpa. Para escribir este libro han sido necesarios
unos cuantos milenios de represion Puede que este libro no haga a
nadie libre pero te descubrira a ti mismo hurgando en el interior
de algunos sentimientos reencontrados. Estas preparado?
Esta es la envolvente historia de luces y sombras de un amor no
solicitado y arrollador que toma las riendas vitales de una mujer
normal y corriente levantando a su paso todas las emociones y
sentimientos reprimidos desde la mas tierna infancia. Su relato se
convierte en el eco devastador de una experiencia tan dolorosa y
perturbadora como es el amor y los secretos que el contiene.

en los destinos, corazones y mentes de esas voces que todavia
siguen buscando su sitio.
