Nafta Integration: Unproductive Finance And Real Unemployment, Melvin Burke

School of Economics Faculty Scholarship

NAFTA did not begin on January 1, 1994, but rather, many years earlier in 1988 with the Canadian/USA Free Trade Agreement and with President Carlos Salinas de Gortari's economic reforms. The latest Mexican crisis is but the historic continuation of its 1982 debt crisis. Both are part of the larger global stagnation crisis which began in the 1970s and continues today. NAFTA is not a free trade agreement, but rather the creation of a North American trade block, designed and implemented by American multinational corporations to obtain a greater share of a stagnant global output.

Fernando Estrada

My interest is to understand the problems with some careful handling of the issues, I believe, relevant. Aristotle, Sophocles, Descartes, Hobbes, Kant, Foucault, Popper and other thinkers, are analyzed in their own texts, or in other cases of individual straight to interpret the problems they posed. It is "the freedom the individual, "" democracy "," body "," man, "language" "Ethics," "rationality," "the argumentacin" etc.. For the reader is book support, a resource for which he is challenged to read reseados texts, a letter with ways to analyze in different directions to locate each one that cause you most concern
