Fuhrer and Jane Sneddon Little* During the 1990s, the Federal Reserve has pursued its twin goals of price stability and steady employment growth with considerable success. But despite--or perhaps because of--this success, concerns about the pace of economic and productivity growth have attracted renewed attention. Many observers ruefully note that the average pace of GDP growth has remained below rates achieved in the 1960s and that a period of rapid investment in computers and other capital equipment has had disappointingly little impact on the productivity numbers.

  • 2016 Greece Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Greece Report Dimitri A. Sotiropoulos, Kevin Featherstone, Roy Karadag (Coordinator) m o c . a i l o t o F – Sustainable Governance g i n n a v Indicators 2016 o j © Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2016 | 2 Greece Report Executive Summary In the period under review, the progress which Greece had made up until mid- 2014 – fiscal consolidation and structural reforms – gave way to government volatility. This instability began with the parliamentary elections of January 2015, but was exacerbated by the 5 July 2015 national referendum, on the European Commission’s second-to-last proposal of reforms for Greece, called by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, leader of the new governing party Syriza. Just two months later (September 2015), political stability was further shaken when Tsipras was forced to call snap parliamentary elections as the radical left-wing faction of his left-wing party broke away, leaving the government coalition (between Syriza and the nationalist right-wing party ANEL) in danger of collapse. Prolonged negotiations between the Syriza-ANEL coalition government and the country’s creditors in the first half of 2015, combined with the previously mentioned political turmoil, brought economic activity to a standstill. As a consequence, the country’s economy, which had started growing in 2014, albeit by less than 1%, fell into depression. Capital controls were imposed on the banks when the government announced the aforementioned referendum. The Greek banking system was in dire need of recapitalization to a larger extent than previously understood. Even so, Greece’s democracy has been able to withstand long-term economic deterioration and acute political conflict.

  • Ingobernable: All Past Roads Lead to the Future
    Ingobernable: All Past Roads Lead to the Future Today Mediático is delighted to present an article on the Netflix series Ingovernable by Pablo Zavala, Ph.D. candidate at Washington University in St. Louis. His primary research focuses on the representation of “the people,” broadly construed, in Mexican print culture at the beginning of the twentieth century. His dissertation is titled, “Forging a People: Visual Culture in Mexico’s Magazines and Newspapers, 1917-1960,” and analyzes avant-garde, socialist, communist, governmental, and artistic outlets in their dialogue between civil society, artists, and the State in the (re)presentation of the people, or the masses. His academic work has explored similar connections in film, literature, and in contemporary cases of femicides in Ciudad Juárez and their intermedial representations. His article “La producción antifeminicidista mexicana: autoría, representación y feminismo en la frontera juarense” was published in Chasqui in 2016. “Ingobernable: All Past Roads Lead to the Future” by Pablo Zavala When I first heard about Ingobernable (Ungovernable Ibarra, 2017) I was not immediately drawn to it, largely because of my own lack of fondness for the excesses of the telenovela form. But Ingobernable, is a series which makes evident the value of a popular form like the telenovela and even its radical potential (López 1991: 596–606). Ingobernable the new Netflix series makes use of both the telenovela and the political thriller format. It follows in the footsteps of other Netflix popular Spanish-language series Club de Cuervos (Alazraki, 2015), the first one ever created in that language by the online streaming service and Narcos (Bernard, Brancato, Miro, 2015-).

  • 8. an Assessment of the Financial Assistance Programmes
    TÍTULO CAP XXXXXXXXXXXXX 8. AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMMES GUNTRAM B. WOLFF1 ABSTRACT This chapter aims at assessing the assistance programmes implemented by the Troika in four countries (Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus) along the lines of two main cri- teria: (i) whether it succeeded in allowing the country to regain market access; (ii) whether expectations and outcomes, or the underlying assumptions of the programme proved reasonable. Ireland and Portugal exited the programmes recently and can there- fore be seen as the most successful with regards to the first criterion. The Greek pro- gramme cannot be judged as successful at this stage, while it is too early to judge if and how Cyprus will be able to regain market access at the end of the programme, in May 2016. Regarding criterion two, the fall in domestic demand and the resulting unem- ployment was much worse than expected in Greece, Portugal and Ireland. This can be seen as a mistake in the design of the programmes but is also partly due to unexpected external factors. The trade balance and the current account improved more quickly than expected. Finally, all four countries have by-and-large adopted the fiscal consolidation measures prescribed by the Troika. As the funding was limited by the size of the already large programmes, the consolidation had to happen as demanded by the Troika. The Spanish programme has to be considered separately, since it essentially focused on the financial sector and the IMF was not involved as a Troika member. The pro- gramme was designed in a way to cover significant eventualities in terms of needed gov- ernment funding.
