Описание:
Climate change and the intertwined extinction crisis lend themselves to political economy. Joseph Henry Vogel has constructed an argument for bringing the carbon-rich but economically poor countries through the bottleneck of a cowboy economy and into the 'cap and trade' Annex I countries of the Kyoto Protocol. Ecuador serves as the example. 'The Economics of the Yasuni Initiative' is a counterpoint to 'The Economics of Climate Change' by Sir Nicholas Stern on many levels. At the most basic level, Vogel argues that Stern is wrong for his failure to recognize the nature of climate change as thermodynamic, thereby missing the point of Northern appropriation of the atmospheric sink. The switch to thermodynamics brings into focus the legitimacy of a 'carbon debt' that starts to tick with the first report of the IPCC in 1990. Through the lens of economic theory, the understandable intransigence of poor countries to assume the 'cap' in 'cap and trade' is a distortion to the economic system. But by that same economics, one distortion can justify another. That other distortion is the payment Ecuador seeks for not drilling in the Yasuni Biosphere. Heeding the call of Deirdre (formerly Donald) McCloskey that economics needs more humor, Vogel has written a scathing critique of economics-as-usual which also entertains.
'The Museum of Bioprospecting, Intellectual Property, and the Public Domain' addresses one of the most heated policy debates of our day: access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits. Seven scholars - an anthropologist, an economist, a sociologist, and four lawyers - discuss how a museum can flesh out the relevant ethical issues that frustrate any purely technical solution. The visitors to the proposed museum become a source of considered judgments. Commercial movies are screened and discussion follows about some aspect of bioprospecting, intellectual property, and the public domain, suggested in the films. Both the screenings and discussions occur in small amphitheatres named according to the uneven chronology in the management of information: 100,00 BC to 16 September 1787 (public domain); 17 September 1787 to today's date (intellectual property); and today's date to (?) (legislation sui generis). The three amphitheatres surround a courtyard caf which is a metaphor for the mission of the museum: conversation. The scholars vet the blueprint before an imaginary octogenarian who is not at all impressed and will "say the damnedest things." As this 21st century Don Quixote moseys across the chapters and pokes fun at the scholarly ruminations, the reader begins to understand how the proposed museum is indeed a forum for the nuanced ethics over bioprospecting, intellectual property, and the public domain. The dialogue-within-a-dialogue is highly original and entertaining.

Описание: El cambio clim tico y la crisis de extinci n entrelazados se prestan a la econom a pol tica. Joseph Henry Vogel ha construido un argumento a favor de llevar a los pa ses ricos en carbono, pero pobres econ micamente, a trav s del cuello de botella de la econom a de vaquero y hacia el "comercio en el derecho de emisiones" de los pa ses Anexo I del Protocolo de Kioto. Ecuador sirve como el modelo. "La econom a de la Iniciativa Yasun -ITT" es un contrapunto a muchos niveles a "El Informe Stern" por Sir Nicholas Stern. En el nivel m s b sico, Vogel sostiene que Stern se equivoca por su falta de reconocimiento de la naturaleza del cambio clim tico como termodin mica, con lo cual pierde de vista la apropiaci n del Norte del sumidero atmosf rico. El cambio a la termodin mica pone de relieve la legitimidad de una "deuda de carbono," que comienza a hacer tictac con el primer informe del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre Cambio Clim tico ((IPCC) por sus siglas en ingl s) en 1990. A trav s del lente de la teor a econ mica, la intransigencia comprensible de los pa ses pobres para asumir el "tope" en el "comercio en el derecho de emisiones" es una distorsi n del sistema econ mico. No obstante, acorde con esa misma econom a, una distorsi n puede justificar otra. Esa otra distorsi n es el pago que Ecuador busca por no perforar en la Reserva de la Biosfera Yasun . Haciendo caso de la llamada de Deirdre (antes Donald) McCloskey de que la econom a necesita m s humor, Vogel ha escrito una cr tica penetrante sobre la econom a convencional que a su vez entretiene.

Описание: IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO THE IOWA CAUCUSES, most pundits and political experts scoffed at the idea that young voters would play a significant role in Barack Obama's bid for President. Yet just months later, as Obama won primary after primary with the help of unprecedented youth turnout, the conventional wisdom was turned on its head. Not since the Kennedys in the 1960s had a politician so energized young people in America. The difference was that this new generation of "Millennials" could mobilize through technology and online networking in ways unimaginable to previous campaigns. Within weeks of Obama's presidential announcement, online groups swelled into the hundreds of thousands, creative videos went viral on YouTube, and interest translated into record-setting donations and massive turnouts across the country. The Obama Movement captures the energy and idealism of a grassroots movement that swept the nation and made history. In addition to the twenty-five personal stories that comprised the first edition, this fully updated book includes a new introduction and a detailed narration of the campaign as it unfolded, from Iowa to the nomination.
