Perspectivas de la economía mundial, abril de 2012

Global growth for 2018–19 is projected to remain steady at its 2017 level, but its pace is less vigorous than projected in April and it has become less balanced.

The downward revision reflects surprises that suppressed activity in early 2018 in some major advanced economies, the negative effects of the trade measures implemented or approved between...

A mediados del siglo xx, muchos ejecutivos de marketing intentaron responder esta pregunta recurriendo a las teorías de Sigmund Freud. El psicoanálisis freudiano se convirtió, así, en la herramienta más poderosa del publicista, al prometer sondear el inconsciente de los compradores para tener acceso a los deseos ocultos tras las decisiones de compra. Centrándose en la fascinante vida de los brillantes hombres y mujeres que llevaron las teorías y las prácticas psicoanalíticas desde Europa hasta Madison Avenue, Lawrence R. Samuel relata cómo los publicistas transformaron la cultura...

Esta obra presenta una breve historia de cómo han evolucionado las formas de dinero utilizadas por el hombre, las cuales están atadas a la evolución de los procesos de intercambio que antes necesitaban un espacio (mercado) y hoy puede ser virtual; así como a los ingresos que genera el dinero para sus emisores y la relación que guarda con la inflación.
