Javier Guzmán Calafell .............................................. 225 Preface he second meeting of Central Bank Technicians Tof the American Continent was held in 1950 in the city of Santiago, Chile. At this forum the delegation from Banco de México, led by Agustín Luna Olmedo, Head of the Economics Studies Department, presented a project for establishing a body that would be called Institute for Latin American Economic Stud- ies. All indications point to the outstanding influence in the idea for the project of the Deputy Director of that bank, Rodrigo Gó- mez, and the Spanish economist, Javier Márquez, who had trav- elled from England to Mexico in 1939 to live in the country for the rest of his productive life. Although there is no written evidence, there was very strong at the time that the Mexican proposal aroused much concern in the renowned economist Raúl Prebisch, who was then the Sec- retary General of the Economic Commission for Latin America. He seemingly believed that if the institution proposed by Banco de México was established it would lead to a duplication of func- tions with the sub continental organization founded in 1948 on the initiative of the Chilean diplomat Hernán Santa Cruz. Perhaps Prebisch’s complaints were heard and the project was modified to, in narrower terms, propose the establishment of a research in- stitute sponsored by central banks of Latin America and aimed at providing training and undertaking research in specialized bank- ing and monetary policy fields. preface xi The impetus of Banco de México and growing support from other central banks of Latin America meant the project finally materialized in 1952. The motivation was to study the monetary and banking problems afflicting countries of the sub-continent, but from the perspective of such countries. Another motivation, perhaps a little more ambitious, was that of attempting to create original economic thought in countries of the area regarding monetary and banking issues. Moreover, and at a less abstract level, it also emphasized the advantages of providing effective training at affordable costs for central bank executives and technicians of the zone. Such effort would reduce the costs of training and the education would also be more pertinent and appropriate for the actual problems faced by central banks of the area. In recognition of his noteworthy professional capabilities and the part he had played in creating the project, Banco de México recommended that the Director of the institution, which would be known as the Center for Latin American Monetary Studies, should be Javier Márquez. Mr. Márquez put his heart and soul into the task from the moment cemla opened its doors right up until his retirement, approximately two decades later. At the beginning Márquez’s work consisted of ensuring the survival of the institute. In fact, it was crucial it obtained the backing and membership of a growing number of Latin American and Caribbean central banks. It was also very important to recruit, as collaborating cen- tral banks, those of the United States, Canada, France, England, and Spain in order for them to contribute financial resources, speakers and students. In this start-up period it was gradually established that the organization would focus on teaching and training tasks. Later it would have the opportunity to diversify its functions, placing more attention on publishing, organizing events and meetings, and encouraging research. Given that Banco de México had made the proposal for set- ting up cemla, the founding members of the organization agreed that its head offices should be located in the Mexican capital. In this regard, Eduardo Turrent had been correct in emphasizing the support cemla was to receive from its alma mater, as well as xii cemla: a key institution in latin america, 1952-2012 the Mexican government.

    Simon Radowitzky and the People’s Justice Osvaldo Bayer Elephant Editions Simon Radowitzky and the People’s Justice by Osvaldo Bayer Serialised in Madres de Plaza de Mayo Monthly, June to September 1991, Buenos Aires. Simon Radowitzky and the By the reckoning of the oligarchy, the military, the police, the clergy—which is to say, of all who stood for the system of exploitation—the young anarchist who gave the hated police chief Colo- nel Ramon L. Falcón his just deserts in November 1909, belonged “to that caste of helots who veg- etated on the steppes of Russia, eking out their wretched lives amid the inclemency of nature and the rudeness of an inferior status.” As far as the people were concerned, though, his had been the avenging hand that, in an individu- al act separated from the masses, had carried out an act of revolutionary legitimacy: avenging all the workers whom the police had massacred just weeks before. Here we offer an outline biography of the young anarchist who, at as young an age as 14 had been wounded in Kiev (Russia) in 1905 for his participation in popular campaigns: who spent 21 years in prison over Falcón: who fought alongside the Republicans in the battle against Francisco Franco's fascist uprising: and who, with the passage of time. was to become a legend and a symbol of working class integrity in face of adversity. 1 By the reckoning of the oligarchy, the military, the police, the clergy—which is to say, of all who stood for the system of exploitation—the young anarchist who gave the hated police chief Colo- nel Ramon L.

This group arose in the context of the rise of state interventionism and the new challenge for Latin American economies in the interwar period. The thesis focuses primarily on the University of Buenos Aires, where the first Faculty of Economic Sciences in Latin America was created in 1913. The dissertation examines the evolution of this institution, as well as the debates it provoked over economic policy, intervention and non-intervention and the nature and scope of economics as a science. It also examines the figures of Alejandro Bunge, Federico Pinedo and Raúl Prebisch. The ultimate goal of this work is to define the scientific spirit of students and professors who were impelled by a new and promising discipline: economics as the most rigorous social science devoted to solve structural problems. The thesis is located at the intersection of the subfields of intellectual history and the history of political economy.

  • Balance of Payments Imbalances
    Balance of Payments Imbalances ALAN GREENSPAN Considering the nature of the title of my paper, I am incredibly impressed that there are so many people who wish to hear what I have to say on this subject. Thank you, Sir Andrew and Mr. Van Houtven. The financial crisis that erupted on August 9 was an accident waiting to happen. Credit spreads across all global asset classes had become compressed to clearly unsustainable levels. Something had to give. If the crisis had not been triggered by a mispricing of secu- ritized U.S. subprime mortgages, it would have eventually erupted in some other sector or market. The candidate of many analysts in recent years has been a dramatic and abrupt unwinding of Amer- ica's huge current account deficit, with all sorts of extraordinary aftermaths as a consequence. To date this has not happened. But fear-laden concerns put that deficit on the agenda of virtually every international gathering I attended as Fed chairman and since. Unless protectionist forces drain the flexibility of the international financial system, I do not view the ultimate unwinding of America's current account deficit, amounting to 6 percent of our GDP, as a cause for undue alarm. Apprehensions about the U.S. external deficit are certainly not groundless. At some point, foreign investors will balk at increasing the share of dollar-denominated assets in the portfolios they hold. There obviously is a limit to the extent that U.S. financial obligations to foreigners can reach. And perhaps the recent decline in the U.S. dollar and shrinkage of the current account defi- cit is an indication that America is approaching that limit.

  • Register of Culturally Significant Property
    THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S REGISTER OF CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY he Department of State owns or has under long-term lease over 3,500 properties at 265 posts worldwide. Among these are approximately 150 properties that are historically, architecturally, or culturally significant. Building types include chanceries, residences, office buildings, staff apartments, a gardener’s house, and a guesthouse. The Department also has a significant collection of fine and decorative arts in its inventory. These seven criteria were used to evaluate properties for listing by the Secretary of State in the register: • Designation or Acknowledgement by a Government as a Significant Property • Part of the United States’ Overseas Heritage • Association with a Significant Historical Event or Person • Important Architecture and/or by an Important Architect • Distinctive Theme or Assembly • Unique Object or Visual Feature • Archaeological Site The Secretary’s Register is similar to the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of State’s Register is an important initiative to commemorate our significant international heritage and to promote and preserve American history and architecture. SECRETARY OF STATE Schoenborn Palace Prague, Czech Republic The American Embassy in the Schoenborn Palace in Prague has a long and complex his- tory of adaptations to accommodate a wide range of royal, noble, and governmental own- ers. Today the dominant image dates to 1718 when the Colloredo family renovated the building to the design of the expatriate Italian architect Giovanni Santini. Five medieval residences and a malthouse were combined together by various owners in the early decades of the seventeenth century.
