It is important to note that all of these objectives contain an emphasis on rural development. This emphasis was the result of decisions by Cuban economic planners to correct what had been perceived as the most serious ·negative consequence of the Island's economic past--the economic imbalance between town and coun­ try. 1 The dependence of the Cuban economy on sugar production, with its dramatic seasonal employment shifts, the control of the Island's sugar industry by American companies and the siphoning of sugar profits out of Cuba, the concentration in Havana of the wealth created primarily in the countryside, and the lack of economic opportunities and social services in the rural areas, were the main features of an economic and social system that had impoverished the rural population, creating a movement for change.

  • CONVERSIONS and CAPITAL of MUTUAL THRIFTS: CONNECTIONS, PROBLEMS, and PROPOSALS for CREDIT UNIONS Stephanie 0
    CONVERSIONS AND CAPITAL OF MUTUAL THRIFTS: CONNECTIONS, PROBLEMS, AND PROPOSALS FOR CREDIT UNIONS Stephanie 0. Crofton High Point University Luis G. Dopico Macrometrix James A. Wilcox Haas School of Business University of California, Berkeley The history ofconversions ofmutual thrifts to stock thrifts provides important perspectives on more recent credit union conversions. From the middle 1 970s to the early 1 990s, undercapitalized mutual thrifts used conversions to raise capital. Since then, however, converting thrifts typically already had considerable capital and economic value, which was transferred from mutuals’ members to insiders and outside investors. Long-ignored proposals addressed the capital and conversion problems of mutual thrifts, as well as of credit unions. In 1977, the US Government Accounting Office proposed that, in lieu of converting, mutual thrifts be allowed to count some bonds as capital. In 1973, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board proposed that, to avoid unwarranted transfers of wealth, converting mutuals should distribute stock on the basis of members’ deposit histories. Conversions of credit unions to other depository institutions (depositories) are a recent phenomenon. The first conversion of a credit union to a mutual thrift took place in 1995; the first conversion of a former credit union, that had become a mutual thrift, to a stock-owned thrift took place in 1999. So far, only about thirty credit unions have converted and their aggregated assets at conversion would amount to less than 1 percent of those in the credit union industry in 2010. However, there has been an upsurge in interest recently in converting, and interest has been especially pronounced at larger, more successful credit unions.

Annick Peters-Custot Between Rome and Constantinople: the Romanness of Byzantine southern Italy (9th –11th centuries) Medieval Southern Italy and Sicily hosted the three monotheisms, the two main spheres of Christianity, Roman and Oriental, an Islamic polity, two empires, princi- palities, and many different kingdoms: the most important political entities and the main communities of the medieval Mediterranean coexisted in a restricted area. It is no wonder that this zone is nowadays considered as a laboratory for the analysis of medieval Mediterranean communities: Norman ethnogenesis, Greek iden- tity and communities, Sicilian ‘Mozarabs’ and Sicilian Arab-speaking Jews, the con- cepts of identity and of community.
