Beyond Facts
Traditionally, the concept of quality of life has been viewed through objective indicators. Beyond Facts looks at quality of life through a new lens, namely, the perceptions of millions of Latin Americans. Using an enhanced version of the recently created Gallup World Poll that incorporates Latin America-specific questions, the Inter-American Development Bank surveyed people from throughout the region and found that perceptions of quality of life are often very different from the reality. These surprising findings have enormous significance for the political economy of the region and provide a wealth of information for policymakers and development practitioners to feast upon.
A escola e a opção pelos pobres
O presente livro trata da relação que existe entre pobreza como valor e aspectos éticos vivenciados no contexto escolar. Examina o ser pobre sob o ângulo da ética cristã e suas implicações na escola, buscando ampliar o conceito de pobreza, que vai muito além do difundido pelos organismos econômicos e governamentais. Parte-se do pressuposto de que ser pobre leva a outro entendimento de pobreza: o de viver valor ativamente. Para atender a esse propósito, duas escolas públicas do Distrito Federal foram pesquisadas, uma situada na zona urbana e outra na zona rural. Dialogou-se com os colaboradores para se conhecerem os contextos escolares e a caracterização da cultura escolar vinculada à situação de pobreza. Por fim, o convite à felicidade. Na condição de ser pobre no espírito há um modo de viver que se contrapõe à hegemonia do pensamento socioeconômico a respeito do pobre.

Deus e o real em debate
Há lugar para Deus no Real? Qual é o Deus louvado na cédula do Real? É legítima a presença de um texto cristão na cédula do dinheiro nacional? São perguntas complexas que têm suscitado discordância na sociedade brasileira, inclusive no âmbito do Poder Judiciário. A obra investiga a discordância sobre a compatibilidade entre a expressão "DEUS SEJA LOUVADO", inscrita nas cédulas do Real, e a laicidade brasileira, e a possibilidade de formação de um consenso, no espaço público, sobre a legitimidade da presença desse texto religioso, associado ao Cristianismo, em um bem de caráter público. Enfatiza, para tanto, a influência da religião e dos diversos modelos de modernidade e secularização na construção do conceito de laicidade no País e os processos conflitivos de construção desses modelos por atores sociais, laicos e religiosos, que são portadores de visões de mundo antagônicas a respeito da laicidade brasileira. Finaliza com uma abordagem sobre os desafios para a formação de consenso no âmbito da discussão judicial que envolve a presença do texto religioso na cédula do dinheiro nacional.

The Washington Consensus Reconsidered
This volume brings together many of the leading international figures in development studies, such as Jose Antonio Ocampo, Paul Krugman, Dani Rodrik, Joseph Stiglitz, Daniel Cohen, Olivier Blanchard, Deepak Nayyar and John Williamson to reconsider and propose alternative development policies to the Washington Consensus. Covering a wide range of issues from macro-stabilization to trade and the future of global governance, this important volume makes a real contribution to this important and ongoing debate. The volume begins by introducing the Washington Consensus, discussing how it was originally formulated, what it left out, and how it was later interpreted, and sets the stage for a formulation of a new development framework in the post-Washington Consensus era. It then goes on to analyze and offer differing perspectives and potential solutions to a number of key development issues, some which were addressed by the Washington Consensus and others which were not. The volume concludes by looking toward formulating new policy frameworks and offers possible reforms to the current system of global governance.
Rendering unto Caesar
Nowhere has the relationship between state and church been more volatile in recent decades than in Latin America. Anthony Gill's controversial book not only explains why Catholic leaders in some countries came to oppose dictatorial rule but, equally important, why many did not. Using historical and statistical evidence from twelve countries, Gill for the first time uncovers the causal connection between religious competition and the rise of progressive Catholicism. In places where evangelical Protestantism and "spiritist" sects made inroads among poor Catholics, Church leaders championed the rights of the poor and turned against authoritarian regimes to retain parishioners. Where competition was minimal, bishops maintained good relations with military rulers. Applying economic reasoning to an entirely new setting, Rendering unto Caesar offers a new theory of religious competition that dramatically revises our understanding of church-state relations.
