Abundant land and strong property rights are conventionally viewed as key factors underpinning U.S. economic development success. This view relies on the “Pristine Myth” of an empty undeveloped land, but the abundant land of North America was already made productive and was the recognized territory of sovereign Indigenous Nations. We demonstrate that the development of strong property rights for European/American settlers was mirrored by the attenuation and increasing disregard of Indigenous property rights. We argue that the dearth of discussion of the dispossession of Indigenous nations results in a misunderstanding of some of the core themes of U.S. economic history.

We use data from marriage records in Murcia, Spain, in the eighteenth century to study the role of women in social mobility in the pre-modern era. Our measure of social standing is identification as a don or doña, an honorific denoting high, though not necessarily noble, status. We show that this measure, which is acquired over the lifecycle, shows gendered transmission patterns. In particular, same-sex transmission is stronger than opposite-sex, for both sons and daughters. The relative transmission from fathers versus mothers varies over the lifecycle, and grandparents may affect the status of their grandchildren.

An economic downturn coincided with the start of the epidemic but the recession was short and moderate, compared with that of 1920/21. Cross-sectional high-frequency data indicate that the epidemic affected the labor supply sharply but briefly with no ensuing spill-overs; most of the recession, brief as it was, was due to the end of the war. I analyze weekly city-level mortality data and economic indicators with time series methods and structural estimation of an economic-epidemiological model: interventions to hinder the contagion reduced mortality at little economic cost, probably because reduced infections mitigated the impact on the labor force.

This article provides an overview of wealth inequality in Germany during 1300–1850, introducing a novel database. We document four alternating phases of inequality decline and growth. The Black Death (1347–1352) led to inequality decline, until about 1450. Thereafter, inequality rose steadily. The Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) and the 1627–1629 plague triggered a second phase of inequality reduction. This distinguishes Germany from other European areas where inequality grew monotonically. Inequality growth resumed from about 1700, well before the Industrial Revolution. Our findings offer new material to current debates on the determinants of inequality change in western societies, past and present.

In the best case, too specific and traditional elements and equipment shortages are known problems, lack of training of certain administrative levels, inadequate buildings, the development of modules, presentation advice and obviously a relationship is established directly between the magnitude of these problems and inadequate financial resources. This project made the application of the technique "Break-even-point" (Breakeven) Costs of Distance Education and Higher Education Education Classroom. The project presents the ratio of fixed costs and variable costs and the influence of the number of students in the Semester Program Total Cost per case BA in Sociology.

Developing a Sustainable Campus prototype, based on the implementation of a Social and Environmental Management System, embodied in an environmental landscape architectural proposal. Intifying as the main comparative advantages of developing and implementing environmental management systems partner, And so, we can develop the new proposal for a new paradigm of Sustainable Campus, from awareness and conservation of the natural environment hroughout the evaluation based on a short questionnaire given to visitors who can assess the effectiveness of the intervention (educational and environmental process), especially since of attitudes, values, indicators and behavior data.

The objective of this research is to analyze what is the role of science in modern societies, based on the reflection on how science plays a vital role in the economic system that both globalization and the modernization process currently configured. To do this, some socioeconomic and educational indicators on the context in which science develops in Latin America and what are the social consequences that it has brought are analyzed. To do this, we rescued the findings from different scientific fields, they have been made about this issue and focus to our context. Thus, it seeks to contribute to the debate about the role of science in situations like ours and the links to be established between the scientific, economic and social spheres. It also seeks to contribute to the reflection on the role of research and its impact on the classroom and in its immediate context.

Around the world there are about six thousand languages, among the nations most threatened languages Mexico is one of the first places according to the Atlas of Endangered Languages in the World Organization of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. In the State of Mexico, INEGI registered a total of 97,820 Otomi language speakers, most of whom live in the etnorregión. However one of the current social situations in the country and particularly in the State of Mexico is the loss of identity by new generations on their roots, customs, traditions and culture the interest of young people to preserve this language it is almost nil. On the other hand mobile technology it is becoming a revolution in our society. The use of scraping and data collection will provide the information that is available on the web, facilitating the search for words and integrating an application, resulting in a more efficient translation to support the use, teaching and learning of the Otomi language teens / young Otomi communities north of the State of Mexico.
