Economia no japão

Background: In 1603, after decades of civil warfare, the Tokugawa shogunate (a military-led, dynastic government) ushered in a long period of relative political stability and isolation from foreign influence. For more than two centuries this policy enabled Japan to enjoy a flowering of its indigenous culture. Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US in 1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power that was able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied Manchuria, and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and an ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected politicians hold actual decision-making power. Following three decades of unprecedented growth, Japan's economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s, but the country remains a major economic power. In March 2011, Japan's strongest-ever earthquake, and an accompanying tsunami, devastated the northeast part of Honshu island, killing thousands and damaging several nuclear power plants. The catastrophe hobbled the…

Resumo 1 Gerard Dumenil and Dominique Levy’s latest book ‘The Crisis of Neoliberalism’ is an excellent, though flawed contribution to the burgeoning body of Marxist literature on the current economic crisis.

Dumenil and…

is that the contemporary world system has a history of at least five thousand years. The rise to dominance of Europe and the West in this world system are only recent -- and perhaps passing -- events. Thus, our thesis poses a more humanocentric challenge to Eurocentrism.Our main theoretical categories are:- 1. The world system itself. Per contra Wallerstein (1974), we believe that the existence and development of the same world system in which we live stretches back at least five…

revelou uma presença muito NEPP/UNICAMP marcante de partidos políticos de inspiração comunista, socialista ou trabalhista, o que representava do ponto de vista dominante uma perigosa clivagem política interna, agravada pela virtualidade de um modo de organização social alternativo, vivido no bloco socialista. Vislumbrou-se, assim, a necessidade de que fossem estabelecidos novos princípios e novos pactos nas relações entre capital e trabalho. A oferta de serviços na área social ,…

Both the U.S. and USSR believed that their ideologies were supreme and would spread to all corners of the…

at the University of Wisconsin Symposium on “Ethics in Our Time” in Madison, Wisconsin, on February 9, 1961. Since I am to speak on the Objectivist Ethics, I shall begin by quoting its best representative—John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged: “Through centuries of scourges and disasters, brought about by your code of morality, you have cried that your code had been broken, that the scourges were punishment for breaking it, that men were too weak and too selfish to spill all the blood it…
