This chapter focuses on John M. Hunter, the thirty-nine-year-old Illinois native who spoke as director of Colombia's first economic research center and addressed readers of one of Colombia's premier journals of economic research, the Revista del Banco de la República. It also talks about economics in Latin America. During the years after 1945, Colombian universities established freestanding economics programs where none had existed before. There had been men called economists in Colombia for decades; they were brilliant lawyers, engineers, businessmen, and politicians who made national economic policy and taught occasional courses in political economy on the side. But the crisis of the 1930s had inspired a new regard for economic expertise as a specialized form of knowledge, and Colombians set out to create a new kind of economist to steer the state. The invention of economics as an independent discipline, a nineteenth-century process in the United States and much of Europe, was thus a twentieth-century phenomenon in Latin America, born of new visions of national development and spearheaded by renowned men in business and government.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar alguns entendimentos quanto ao processo de acumulação do capital (principalmente de David Harvey, 2011, e Roswitha Scholz, 2016) a partir do estudo da ascensão das quantidades de contratos e recursos liberados nacionalmente através do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) ao longo dos governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) e seu histórico de distribuição às comunidades quilombolas no Vale do Ribeira/SP. Tal articulação, entre reprodução do capital em sua totalidade, a política econômica nacional e a particularidade das relações sociais nas comunidades quilombolas, se faz importante como forma de análise que põe em tensão estes planos o que, defendemos, possibilita explicitar os limites da acumulação e das medidas tomadas para contornar as crises fenomênicas do capital. Assim, e com base nos trabalhos de campos realizados entre 2015 e 2018 nas cidades de Eldorado, Iporanga e Registro (nos quais entrevistamos agricultores quilombolas, técnicos agrícolas da Fundação Instituto de Terras do Estado de São Paulo - ITESP -, da Coordenadoria de Assistência Técnica Integral - CATI - e agentes financeiros do Banco do Brasil), buscamos apresentar a relação entre o acesso ao crédito e a promessa de “enriquecimento” que esse representa para as famílias quilombolas, o como compreendem os sujeitos envolvidos quando da inadimplência e as relações que esta possui com a totalidade posta pela reprodução do capital em geral.Palavras-chave: política de crédito; comunidades quilombolas do Vale do Ribeira/SP; acumulação do capital. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to discuss some understandings about the process of capital accumulation (mainly formulated by David Harvey, 2011, and Roswitha Scholz, 2016) through the study of the rise in the quantities of contracts and resources released nationally by the “Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar” (PRONAF) over the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) and their distribution history to the quilombola communities in the Vale do Ribeira/SP. This articulation, between the reproduction of capital in its totality, the national economic policy and the particularity of social relations in the quilombola communities, becomes important as a form of analysis that puts these plans in tension, which, we argue, makes it possible to make explicit the limits of accumulation and of the actions taken to circumvent the phenomenal crises of capital. Thus, based on fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2018 in the cities of Eldorado, Iporanga and Registro (in which we interviewed quilombola farmers, agricultural technicians from the “Fundação Instituto de Terras do Estado de São Paulo” - ITESP -, the “Coordenadoria de Assistência Técnica Integral” - CATI - and financial agents of Banco do Brasil), we sought to present the relationship between access to credit and the promise of “enrichment” that this represents for quilombola families, how the subjects involved understand when defaulting and the relations between these process and the totality given by the reproduction of the capital in general.Keywords: credit policy; quilombola communities of Vale do Ribeira /SP; accumulation of capital.

The Ideal

Whenever scholars inquire into the relationship between space and power, you can almost invariably find a reference to Henri Lefebvre. However, his initial popularization by David Harvey involved an overemphasis on the political-economic dimensions of his work. This article revisits The Production of Space to show that Lefebvre considered rhythmanalysis – and not a political economy of space – as the ideal method for transforming space and everyday life. Lefebvre argues that a more embodied and intimate knowledge of spatial rhythms can inform the appropriation of space by its everyday inhabitants, in opposition to capital and state power. To demonstrate the radical political potential of rhythmanalysis, I follow my reading of The Production of Space with an examination of “The Siege of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis,” a rhythmanalytic account of the recent Minneapolis uprising. This account, which was circulated online to share tactical insights with other protesters, evokes a number of new avenues for rhythmanalytic research.

The Relationship

It is striking that historians of the early nineteenth century have been relatively reluctant to consider relationships between economic policy and the consolidation of the British state. In today's context, the economic and political challenges posed by both European integration and resurgent nationalism have generated hotly contested controversies on the political economy of state formation. From the perspective of the United Kingdom, the prospect of political and administrative devolution has forced us to address the implications of political decentralization for regional economic development (and vice versa) and to consider in turn the impact of these dynamics on the political integrity of a multinational state. For Britain, the period between circa 1780 and 1850 was characterized by unprecedented economic growth, imperial crisis and acquisition, and political consolidation. In a metropolitan sense the most dramatic feature of this process was, of course, the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1800. Insofar as historians of early nineteenth-century Britain have examined the relationship between “state formation” and economic policy, however, they have tended to focus on the ideas, politics, and pressures surrounding the retreat of the state from economic intervention. Thus in more general accounts it became axiomatic that the nineteenth-century state shrank progressively from social and economic intervention, liberating commerce, and resting the fiscal system on secure but modest direct taxation.More recently, the relationship between the concept of “laissez-faire” and British state formation has been dramatically revised and refined by Philip Harling and Peter Mandler.

The Relationship

In the article the authors are examining three positions within the 18th Century aesthetic discussion on the sublime - Edmund Burke's, Immanuel Kant's and Friedrich Schiller's. They are also trying to reconstruct the political backgrounds of each of this theoretical positions: old regime conservatism (Burke), republican liberalism (Schiller) and romantic longing for the 'third way' (Kant). The most sophisticated and mature theory of sublime is found in Schiller's aesthetic works, especially in those following his disappointment in French Revolution, in which the relationship between sublime and paradoxes of historical violence is most thoroughly reflected.

The Relationship

The relationship between employability, professionalism and routes to chartered engineer for engineering graduates in relation to the sustainability of quality and standards is discussed in this paper. Different political and economic developments, set in the context of globalisation, like knowledge led economic policy and the political drift from neo-liberal to third way policies have impacted and shaped the current notion of employability, professionalism and standards. These concepts are outlined and considered in relation to sustaining quality assured formation of undergraduate engineers through routes to professional chartered engineer. Two routes, academic and work related are discussed using case studies to show how the necessary academic standards can be achieved for recognition as a chartered engineer and consideration given as to whether the same quality assured outcomes can be achieved by both routes. These two routes do not deliver similar profiles. A model and work related framework is proposed, which needs to be government led within a global context to achieve the solution to many of the tensions discussed and provide a common global system of professional formation.
