What would Hume make of our Current Theories and our Current Economic Predicament? And what should we make of his views on government debt?

In his essay on public credit, Hume advances two arguments in favour of government borrowing and five against. It is interesting to cast his various arguments and claims in terms of modern models, or their variants, to see how they might be formalized - and thus potentially supported, or qualified, or contradicted. Some of Hume's observations seem somewhat mistaken in the light of later and recent experience, while others appear uncannily prescient.

Crop wild relative checklist and inventory descriptors v.1

The present list of descriptors for the standardized development of crop wild relative (CWR) checklists and inventories is based on results from a series of international projects that progressively worked to improve information management related to CWR conservation and use. The creation of checklists and inventories of crop wild relative are the first steps towards the development of a national strategy and action plan for CWR. This descriptor list aims to facilitate the compilation of these lists in a standardized way

A INFLUÊNCIA DOS TEXTOS OFICIAIS NO PROCESSO DE SUBJETIVAÇÃO DO PROFESSOR

O presente texto tem como objetivo verificar os efeitos de sentidos produzidos a partir da influência dos “textos oficiais” ou “policy texts”, conforme Walshaw (2007) no processo de subjetivação de professores, utilizando a perspectiva discursiva de análise.Partimos do pressuposto de que o sujeito é constituído em relação à língua e à história e por meio dessas relações ele produz efeitos de sentidos e significa, de acordo com Orlandi (1999), (2008) e (2012). Para Foucault (1982 [2010]) e (1984a [1998]), o processo de subjetivação ocorre segundo determinadas práticas, fundamentadas em uma ética e uma moral, em que supostamente o professor de Ensino Médio teria como base
