The remarkable explosion of American industrial output and national wealth at the end of the nineteenth century was matched by a troubling rise in poverty and worker unrest. As politicians and intellectuals fought over who to blame for this crisis, Henry George (1839-1897) published Progress and Poverty (1879), a radical critique of laissez-faire capitalism and its threat to the nation's republican traditions. His book, which became a surprise best-seller, offered a popular, provocative solution: a single-tax on land values. George's writings and years of social activism almost won him the mayor's seat in New York City in 1886. Though he lost the election, his ideas proved instrumental to shaping a progressivism that remains essential to tackling inequality today.Edward T. O'Donnell's exploration of George's life and times merges labor, ethnic, intellectual, and political history to illuminate the early militant labor movement in Gilded Age New York. O'Donnell locates in George's rise to prominence the beginning of a larger effort by American workers to regain control of the workplace and obtain economic security. The Gilded Age was the first but by no means last period in which Americans confronted the mixed outcomes of modern capitalism. George's accessible, forward-thinking ideas on democracy, equality, and freedom have tremendous value to ongoing debates over the future of unions, corporate power, Wall Street recklessness, regulation, and political polarizationEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/odon12000 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31430 Henry George and the Crisis of Inequality : Progress and Poverty in the Gilded Age [texto impreso] / O'Donnell, Edward . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource(376 p.) : : illustrations.

Título : Evaluating Antipoverty Transfer Programmes in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Better Policies? Better Politics? Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Barrientos, Armando ; Villa, Juan Miguel Número de páginas: 1 online resource Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: antipoverty transfers impact evaluation Latin America poverty sub-Saharan Africa Resumen: Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse. Critical reasoning, supported through academic research is needed.

Broadening access to this scholarship enables more people to address these issues in an informed manner: it helps us combat false news sources, to consider the nature of truth and ethics, and to understand the struggles of all members of society
Two broad explanations can be offered for the incidence of impact evaluations in antipoverty transfer programmes in developing countries. The first, and arguably dominant, explanation suggests this is a consequence of a shift towards evidence-based development policy. A second explanation emphasises the complementary role of policy competition and political factors in motivating evaluations. The paper assesses the relevance of the latter in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa through (i) a comparison of evaluation practice and (ii) the analysis of a new database of flagship antipoverty transfer programmesEn línea: https://doi.org/10.1515/jgd-2014-0006 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31374 Evaluating Antipoverty Transfer Programmes in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
