This research addresses the development of crypto assets throughout history and their current relevance in international financial markets. It focuses on how they have been implemented in the Costa Rican market, as well as their impact on the current economy. Based on this economic framework, the issue of applicable legal regulation is addressed, especially whether they are subject to economic regulation by the State, either as an equivalent to money or as an investment mechanism. It is concluded that they have a relevant existence in the Costa Rican financial market, but despite this, there is no current legal framework that extends to their regulation.

The main objective was to determine the participation of small and medium-sized companies in the Public Procurement of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Manta Canton in the 2020 period, for the promotion of inclusion in the acquisition processes. The research was carried out in three phases. In the first, the legal and theoretical basis was investigated. In the second, an interview was applied, addressed to the public procurement assistant. In the last phase, an improvement plan was proposed to contribute to the participation of SMEs and training so that companies can access the portal, and thus efficiently carry out purchasing procedures. It was possible to witness that there is a lack of knowledge of the companies to be able to access the public procurement portal, likewise, with the application of surveys, a low level of participation of SMEs in the hiring of the municipal entity was verified.

The figure of the intermediary, agent, manager or representative of sportsmen and women has been discussed and much debated. The sports system itself has made every effort to regulate this figure, in the majority of disciplines, trying to shed light and clarify the scope, rights and obligations of the agent, but, above all, trying to control their power and the influence they generate not only on a sporting level, but also in the economic market, through the lex sportiva. To date, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association has enacted four regulations, and barely a year ago, FIFA announced a new regulatory twist with the forthcoming entry and publication of the Regulations on Agents, which is the subject of this paper.

The document "Critique of the myth of perfect competition and the perfect market mechanism" by Franz Hinkelammert questions the idea of perfect competition and the perfect market mechanism. The author argues that perfect competition does not lead to general equilibrium and is a transcendental illusion. Furthermore, he maintains that the perfect market requires complete and error-free information, which is impossible in practice. Hinkelammert also highlights that perfect competition ignores human beings and their social relationships. The text analyzes the criticism of these concepts and proposes the need to redirect the market through systematic interventions, emphasizing the role of the State in alternative proposals. The topic of humanism of praxis is also addressed, and mythical reason in Western history is criticized, highlighting the importance of myths and utopias in constructing a rationality that guarantees human life on the planet.

This paper describes the current situation of small-scale fishing in Puerto Madero, Chiapas, based on empirical information collected in situ through ethnographic methods such as observation and interview. First, to give a general characterization of the activity, I briefly contextualize the study area and retrieve discussions from maritime anthropology. Then, I identify the social stakeholders involved in the process from capture to commercialization, and characterize three specific ways for obtaining and distributing fishery products that complement each other to diversify production and markets. Finally, my ethnographic research concludes with the discussion of some problems that, in the perspective of the interlocutors, affect fishing nowadays, which will serve as baseline for further research.

This work contributes to research on the continuity of family businesses, by providing empirical evidence of the coexistence and feedback between the processes of succession, professionalization, and institutionalization, based on elements of strategic planning, human resources, and governing bodies. A qualitative methodology was used, with a descriptive scope, through the case study method. The work was conducted in a small family business located in Mexico City, dedicated to specialized technological services. The succession process occurs from a family institutional logic. The founding father has served as the successor's mentor and under his leadership --although not consciously-- has conducted professionalization and institutionalization with the successor's participation. With the professionalization of the successor and the incorporation of external professionals in key areas of the business, greater operational efficiency and better financial performance are expected. Although the company has been in the market for 15 years, it does not have a systematized organizational structure that allows it to be more efficient and obtain better financial results, so from institutionalization, the structural elements that support the business model, so that the decisions that management makes are not reactive but proactive, especially in dynamic and hostile economic environments (such as the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic). This work reveals the elements that contribute to increase the percentage of companies, mainly of micro and small sizes, to achieve the generational transfer of the founding father to the children, from visualizing the coexistence and feedback between the processes of succession, professionalization, and institutionalization for the continuity of the family business. The importance of formalizing the family protocol to give certainty of the transfer of control and ownership is rescued. The institutionalization process can generate conflicts between the founding father and the successor in their ways of taking risks and of strategic management. The COVID-19 pandemic crisis showed that one of the main strengths of the family business is the solidarity and commitment of family members in crisis situations. Finally, the succession process, in order to have a higher probability of success, requires the professionalization of the successor, and this, in turn, generates the institutionalization of the organization.

As a way to apprehend the referential that guides public policies for family farming, we seek to understand how the mediators, classified in five “social worlds” (extensionist, manager, researcher, teacher and social movements), identify the policies that were most focused on productive inclusion in the last three decades (1990-2020). For this, we used the semi-structured interview technique carried out with 80 social mediators who work with the public of family farming in the state of Tocantins. It is concluded that despite the change in the "referential" of government policies aimed at incorporating the notion of productive inclusion, this does not coincide, in most cases, with the ideas and practices of the mediators involved in the processes of socio-technical intervention with different groups of family farmers.

This article reviews and discusses Professor Maxi Nieto's observations on some major topics in in the modern theory of socialism. Notably, his interpretation of the argument against the "possibility" of economic calculus without private property rights developed by the new generation of Austrian school authors. It focuses on methodological issues to highlight the theoretical deficiencies of some of the leading ideas defended by Nieto. It also analyzes his proposal of cyber-communism as an alternative to overcome the challenge of economic calculation through the new information and communication technologies. It argues that his analysis is superficial and that the Austrian' challenge on the impossibility of socialism remains sound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The health emergency in Mexico City (CDMX) has made it vital to revitalize food supply models such as Short Marketing Chains (SMC), which can be constructed via structures such as El Mercado el 100 (M100). This article analyzes M100's potential to contribute to the food security of local spaces in CDMX. Additionally, the article defines how these structures responded to the current health emergency. SMC structures such as the M100 are models of agrifood associativity that emerge with renewed strength in times of crisis, promoting local food security in cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The political narrative in Mexico City has raised the idea of transforming certain traditional public markets into gourmet markets. The city authorities developed policies to support this commercial format without achieving the expected results, granting only insufficient funds to remodel their aging infrastructure. Our aim in this article is to examine the alleged transformation of Mercado de San Angel towards a gourmet market, by confronting the official discourse and information collected in interviews with tenants and customers before, during and after the remodeling process. As part of our conclusions we argue that more than achieving the transformation from traditional to gourmet, we find the participation of the private sector in the emergence of staged gourmet markets, aimed at sectors of the population with high cultural and economic resources, who are willing to pay for products and services framed in a consumption experience.

Tourism has become a fundamental element in restructuring the economy of many cities in the Capitalist West. This urban renaissance has also come together with a neo-liberal outsourcing of its productive systems. As a dynamic phenomenon, tourism has not come alone, but accompanied, on a large number of occasions, by profound physical and symbolic transformations: urban projects, cultural policies, celebrations and hosting of mega-events, etc. In this way, the metamorphosis of the urban space, as well as the aestheticization of its structure, are the consequence of the dynamic role of tourism and culture, current bases of economic change. In all this, markets, both traditional retail markets, as well as a new typology that has emerged in recent years specialized in aesthetics and leisure, are fundamental in the continuation of the processes of capitalist accumulation. This article aims to show, through an analysis of two different markets - Mercado de Motores and Palo Alto Market, located in the cities of Madrid and Barcelona- the role that these facilities play in the dynamics of tertiarization and consumption of the contemporary cities. In order to do that, we will show their common elements and those that make them unique, with the aim of highlighting their new functionality in the international competition for making cities more attractive for visitors and capitals.
