The Magical State
By:Fernando Coronil
Published on 1997-11-10 by University of Chicago Press

In 1935, after the death of dictator General Juan Vicente Gómez, Venezuela consolidated its position as the world's major oil exporter and began to establish what today is South America's longest-lasting democratic regime. Endowed with the power of state oil wealth, successive presidents appeared as transcendent figures who could magically transform Venezuela into a modern nation. During the 1974-78 oil boom, dazzling development projects promised finally to effect this transformation. Yet now the state must struggle to appease its foreign creditors, counter a declining economy, and contain a discontented citizenry. In critical dialogue with contemporary social theory, Fernando Coronil examines key transformations in Venezuela's polity, culture, and economy, recasting theories of development and highlighting the relevance of these processes for other postcolonial nations. The result is a timely and compelling historical ethnography of political power at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary reflections on modernity and the state.

Issues in Money and Banking High quality books Issues in Money and Banking By:George Macesich Published on 2000-01-01 by Greenwood Publishing Group Today's banking systems, from prosperous America to muddled Europe and wobbly Japan, may be in worse shape than is generally assumed. Although large financial institutions face the challenges of the new Euro with confidence, smaller banks are not as well prepared to deal with the world's changing financial scene. While most banks' profits continue to come from lending, many have accepted lesser borrowers, and others have entered businesses, such as asset management, that could become less attractive. Given the pressure on banks to earn more profits and the extra risks they have taken, it behooves us to revisit the key issues in banking. This book casts the ongoing changes in money and banking into perspective. This Book was ranked at 11 by Google Books for keyword Money. Book ID of Issues in Money and Banking's Books is h-...
