Cuadernos de pedagogía
2011
Cuadernos de Pedagogía dedicó el "Tema del mes" de su número 405 (octubre de 2010) a "Cómo trabajar la crisis en la escuela", un tema de indudable relevancia y que merece una atención continuada, porque esta crisis ni es coyuntural ni meramente económica (Duch, 2010). Consideramos por ello necesario hacer frente a los intentos de presentar la actual crisis económica como un episodio coyuntural del que hay que salir volviendo a la situación previa a la misma, es decir, insistiendo en el crecimiento económico impulsado por la competitividad, para "favorecer la creación de puestos de trabajo". Este es el discurso oficial, profusamente difundido por los medios de comunicación. No es, sin embarg…
FutureDesign. Reflections at the Limit of iImpossible
2021
Can today design help to improve the world? During the 20th century, it did it. Actually, it has been establishing itself historically in this sense: to improve the everyday life of common people. In the last decades, however, design has become a sort of magic patina helpful to make goods attractive: a dimension of project linked to more the look of goods than to the challenges of our time. By the way, Maurizio Carta talks about ‘futuredesign’ and ‘alternative present’ – a reflection on present helpful to determinate a better (next) future. The present crisis, that is now rooted, calls for a rethink. We must grasp it in order to determinate the change that we need. The Paleo-Anthropocene in…
Interpersonal Distance in the SARS-CoV-2 Crisis
2020
Background Mandatory rules for social distancing to curb the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic require individuals to maintain a critical interpersonal distance above 1.5 m. However, this contradicts our natural preference, which is closer to 1 m for non-intimate encounters, for example, when asking a stranger for directions. Objective This review addresses how humans typically regulate interpersonal distances, in order to highlight the challenges of enforcing atypically large interpersonal distances. Method To understand the challenges posed by social distancing requirements, we integrate relevant contributions from visual perception, social perception, and human factors. Results To date, research on pr…

INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS AND JOBS THROUGH FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS
2013
After 3 years of collapse, foreign direct investments (FDI) have reached a minimum level of the last 9 years, in 2011, meaning 1, 94 billion Euros, below the 2003 level. In the first 10 months of 2012, foreign direct investments have reached a level of 1,27 billion Euros, surpassing the similar period last year, as the economic growth was centered around 0,5 %. At this time, foreign direct investments represent one third of the current account deficit. Romania is objectively reliant on foreign capital due to its low degree of internal saving. Investors have chosen the automotive industry in Romania, a sector deemed competitive, due to cheap labor force, large market and substantial state ai…

Le due crisi: crisi del capitalismo e crisi ambientale. Una soluzione sostenibile? (parte II)
2016
Vista nella Parte I la gravità della crisi ambientale, soprattutto l’instabilità climatica che caratterizzerà le prossime decadi, nella parte II si esplicitano le ragioni profonde della necessità di cambiare, e come, il modello di sviluppo. Negli ultimi quarant’anni la crisi ecologica non è mai diventata una variabile importante nelle politiche economiche. Colpa del neo-liberismo imperante, dall’ “unilateralismo” dell’amministrazione USA al “fiscal compact” della UE? Sì, ma anche le altre scuole economiche commettono lo stesso errore. L’attuale crisi del capitalismo è una crisi di sovrapproduzione, il cui carattere quantitativo, dovuto all’innovazione tecnologica nel mercato globalizzato, r…

2013
En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar la evolución económico-financiera de las sociedades cooperativas en los últimos años, especialmente los años 2004 y 2007 por considerar que en el primero de ellos las empresas, en general, gozaban de una cierta estabilidad que desaparece con los efectos de la crisis económica, y 2007 como año en el que sus efectos empiezan a ser percibidos globalmente en el tejido empresarial. En primer lugar evaluaremos la importancia de estas empresas en España.
