This article explores young people's consumption of credit and the role of credit and debt in the distinction between youth and adulthood. The article engages with recent shifts in the nature of credit that have turned credit into an object of consumption in itself, as well as broader arguments about the financialisation of daily life, in order to understand the temporalities and moral distinctions enacted in different forms of credit and debt among youth. While it is well recognised that financialised capitalism operates and creates value from differences including gender, racialisation and class, the formation of youth subjectivities through credit and debt technologies remains unexplored in the literature despite an emerging crisis of consumer credit among young people. With this in mind, this article draws on a qualitative study of youth, credit and debt, to show that young people experience debt within contradictory temporalities and calculative logics, including the long-term 'investments' required to become an adult, and the logic of consumption attached to consumer credit which positions credit as a failure of self-responsible adulthood because it places future creditworthiness in jeopardy. In this way, the article suggests a future research agenda on the way that biographical distinctions are enacted through credit and debt, and how notions of youth and adulthood contribute to the qualification and consumption of credit.

La historia económica hispanoamericana ha llamado la atención de los académicos por sus particularidades. La región es conocida por su abundancia de recursos naturales, pero desde la independencia no ha podido transformar esta riqueza en crecimiento económico moderno. Algunos investigadores afirman que “aún estamos muy lejos de entender las causas para el lento crecimiento de América Latina”. Este articulo revisa y evalúa la literatura y los debates acerca de la pregunta ¿Por qué Hispanoamérica no tuvo una Revolución Financiera después de la independencia? Además, propone una explicación novedosa sobre las razones de la inmadurez del mercado financiero en Hispanoamérica, la persistencia del Censo Eclesiástico, un tipo de préstamo ampliamente utilizado como fuente de crédito durante la dominación colonial que solo fue prohibido a mediados del siglo XIX. Este tipo de préstamos tenían características muy particulares, como las monopolísticas y cerradas relaciones interpersonales entre los prestamistas y prestatarios en el mercado de capital de la región de la época, lo cual puede explicar la falta de interés de las elites en el establecimiento de instituciones financieras. La inmadurez del mercado financiero en Hispanoamérica es un síntoma de la persistencia de los censos. Sin embargo, más estudios son necesarios para sostener esta afirmación, por lo que este artículo es un llamado para investigaciones en el tema.

Review of / Reseña de: Bohoslavsky, Juan Pablo y Mariana Rulli. Deuda feminista: ¿Utopía u oxímoron? La Plata: EDULP, 2023. 537 pp. ISBN: 978-987-8475-99-8.

Many regional and national development questions involve the interaction of external and internal evolutions and can be conceived macroeconomically in balance-of-payments terms. In this light, China's engagement in international trade, outward and inward foreign direct investment, accumulation of reserves, development cooperation, aid and international finance initiatives are examined and related to evolving domestic and international conditions. After joining the Western-centred international economic and political order, while protecting its economic and political sovereignty and defining itself as part of the Global South, China emerged as a very large semi-peripheral upper-middle-income country. In the new millennium China and other emerging economies started to upgrade into higher value-added sectors and to reshape international governance arrangements in ways that reflect the civilisational values and colonial and semi-colonial experience of the Global South. Although these steps do challenge the unequal and unfair 'liberal rules-based order' and US hegemony, they also help create a more equitable and peaceful multipolar world system.

En Venezuela se dieron varios fenómenos que suelen preceder la cesación de pagos soberanos según la literatura. Entre ellos, se pueden contar la volatilidad del crecimiento económico, el desplome de la actividad y la desalineación del tipo de cambio real —desequilibrio que generó la apreciación del bolívar debido a la paridad fija establecida—. En este artículo, se valida que la debilidad institucional parece ser un determinante del impago de la deuda, situación que se dio después del mayor auge de precios del petróleo del que se tenga registros. El país entra a ser definido como deudor serial debido al incumplimiento periódico de sus obligaciones.

Tomando como punto de partida la reelaboración de Maurizio Lazzarato del concepto de deudor/culpable desarrollado por Nietzsche en La genealogía de la moral, el presente artículo se aproxima a las imágenes que constituyen la deuda en el contexto del capitalismo actual. Asimismo veremos como la deuda, y el individuo endeudado, forman parte de un repertorio de imágenes más amplio que, por su especial crudeza o alusión al cuerpo, se graban con facilidad. Estas son las imágenes que constituyen la "mnemotecnia de la crueldad". Pero las mismas imágenes que sirven para afianzar la memoria, o sus reelaboraciones en el campo de la ficción del terror gótico, pueden funcionar también en un sentido crítico. Aquí ya no hablamos de la deuda sino del uso de las im´´agenes del terror-arte como parte de una maquinaria progresista, o simplemente liberadora, entre las que destaca la imagen del vampiro. Las imágenes empleadas para denunciar los abusos del capital constituyen desde el siglo XVIII el "capitalismo gótico": una visión del mundo moderno a través de imágenes de otro tiempo.

La importancia del crecimiento económico que tiene un país está ligada al conocimiento sobre educación financiera que tiene la población. Algunas dificultades que tiene la población de jóvenes ecuatorianos son: endeudamiento, falta de liquidez mensual y desconocimiento de conceptos básicos. El objetivo del estudio fue diagnosticar el nivel de conocimiento sobre cultura financiera de una muestra de 349 jóvenes de entre 18 a 30 años de edad que están cursando estudios universitarios en carreras financieras. Se describieron tres características: planificación y manejo de las finanzas, comportamiento y actitudes financieras y conocimiento financiero, para evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de la cultura financiera de los estudiantes encuestados. La mayoría de los jóvenes de la muestra denotan una vulnerabilidad financiera para llegar a fin de mes con relación a sus gastos mensuales. Los estudiantes prevén un mes para sobrevivir sin una fuente de ingreso mensual en caso de quedarse sin empleo. El 93,39% tiene interés en realizar capacitaciones para mejorar su conocimiento de educación financiera. Por tal motivo, se deben establecer capacitaciones sobre toma de decisiones financieras, informadas como un pilar fundamental de la inclusión económica para fortalecer la administración de recursos, desarrollar habilidades para realizar inversiones que satisfagan sus necesidades básicas mensuales.

Debt is a financial instrument used by companies to finance their growth, make investments and maintain efficient operations. The market share index (MPI) is an indicator of a company's competitive position in its respective market. This application studies the relationship between indebtedness and MPI in a data set of companies in the manufacturing environment belonging to zone 3 of Ecuador. For the resolution of this study, two phases are used, the first one resides in a Spearman correlation analysis, the second one establishes a relational case by means of an automated boosting regression. The results show that a positive relationship coexists between short-term indebtedness and asset indebtedness, and MPI. This suggests that firms with significant levels of short-term indebtedness and asset indebtedness tend to have higher MPI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El propósito central del estudio es analizar los factores determinantes de la demanda de microcrédito formal e informal en las plazas de mercado de la ciudad de Pasto, año 2021. La investigación tiene un enfoque mixto, con un alcance, inicialmente, descriptivo y, luego, correlacional. Se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra representativa de 344 comerciantes de las cuatro plazas de mercado de la ciudad. Los resultados muestran que el 33% los comerciantes accedieron a microcrédito formal, el 33% a microcrédito informal y el 15% combinaron ambos microcréditos. Las variables determinantes en la demanda de microcrédito formal fueron ingresos, antigüedad, sexo, confianza en las instituciones financieras formales y el acceso a préstamos informales. En el modelo de demanda de préstamo informal se identificaron como factores explicativos, además del ingreso, la antigüedad y el sexo, el tener vivienda propia y acceder a microcrédito formal. Dentro de las conclusiones más relevantes que se obtuvieron a partir de esta investigación se destaca que el microcrédito formal y el informal son productos rivales, pero no excluyentes. Asimismo, las características y el destino que se le da a los recursos difieren entre microcréditos; el ingreso es una variable importante en el acceso al microcrédito formal y reduce la probabilidad del acceso al informal, al igual que la antigüedad del negocio y tener vivienda propia. Por otro lado, la propensión de las mujeres de adquirir financiamiento informal es mayor que la de los hombres.

El artículo expone parte de los resultados del proyecto de investigación «Violencia y endeudamiento: mecanismos que coartan los derechos humanos de personas endeudadas en el sector informal costarricense», desarrollado en la Universidad Estatal a Distancia. Bajo un carácter descriptivo, a partir de la revisión de antecedentes nacionales e internacionales y la participación de seis mujeres, se logra comprender el impacto del endeudamiento informal en la historia de vida de la población participante. Como parte de los hallazgos, las personas participantes evidenciaron una serie de privaciones relacionadas con la educación, empleo formal y conocimientos financieros; a su vez, la figura del crédito informal se destina a gastos regulares requeridos para la reproducción de condiciones de vida (pago de alquiler, alimentación o servicios básicos), con montos catalogados como «micro créditos», sujetos a plazos y condiciones definidos a criterio de la persona prestamista; espacio en el cual, se evidencian mecanismos coercitivos de presión y violación a la integridad de la persona (amenazas, daño físico) para pagar la deuda.

En este trabajo se sostiene la tesis de que Uruguay tiene una dilatada tradición en la liberalización de sus finanzas, materializada en un aspecto muy poco conocido: la pujanza de su Bolsa. Para demostrarlo, presento varios índices de cotizaciones desde sus orígenes hasta el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y otros indicadores de capita­lización de la economía uruguaya. Todos ellos revelan una fuerte pujanza de la actividad bursátil hasta 1913 en que el control de la Bolsa cayó en manos del Estado, de manera que la gran empresa uruguaya se financió desde entonces en el exterior.

The non-bank financial institution Greensill Capital pioneered platform-based supply chain financing and the securitisation of supply chain debt, then controversially extended the business to lending funds to firms in the productive economy based on anticipated future invoices. By rolling over these supposedly short-term and liquid loans, this mechanism provided unsecured long-term funding to risky businesses. The article examines how regulatory and political arbitrage, and the ambiguity of a positioning on the edge of legality, enabled Greensill to challenge the established boundaries between the financial and the productive domains.

El modelo de ser humano: homo oeconomicus, impuesto por la racionalidad económica capitalista, ha tenido en las dos últimas décadas una metamorfosis compleja, a saber, la formación de un tipo de subjetividad representada en la figura del “emprendedor” o “su propio jefe” que, desde una nueva gramática teológica, encarna un proyecto mercantil solapado y subrepticio que condiciona las relaciones entre sujetos. En razón a esto, el propósito de este texto es pensar dicha problemática desde el ejercicio hermenéutico-crítico que lleva a cabo el joven Marx, para someter al análisis las categorías de culpa, deuda, sacrificio y expiación destacadas por Walter Benjamin, a la luz de la categoría esencia subjetiva de la propiedad privada que permita entender cómo el capitalismo se vale hoy de la teología y su lenguaje para continuar responsabilizando al ser humano de su pobreza, de su riqueza o su fracaso económico.

The default prevention and management policy (DPMP) is a federal policy that was ostensibly designed to address debt and default in First Nation communities in Canada. The policy works through various levels of external intervention into First Nation finances. According to research findings presented in this article, when First Nations are under the policy a new form of deficit is created rather than improved: Housing stock and water infrastructure becomes much worse off than for First Nations who have never been under the policy. This article puts infrastructure to work as method (Cowen 2020) to explore how intimate geographies of infrastructure and "infrastructure denial" (Curley 2021), such as housing and water systems on reserves, connect socioeconomic policy frameworks with theories of settler colonial dispossession.

This article provides a conceptual understanding of the processes of financialization based on the concept of the biopolitics of housing financialization. Drawing on the Foucauldian categories of disciplining and regulation, we elaborate an empirical analysis of the mechanisms that, in Mexico, propagated the aspiration of various sectors of the population with limited resources to have access to a home of their own through mortgage loans. The construction of the notion of biopolitics of the financialization of housing is based on an empirical research conducted at two different times (2017 and 2020) and consisting of semi-structured interviews with owners of affordable housing in the periphery of the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico. It shows that, far from benefiting borrowers, their insertion in credit relations undermines income and negatively impacts their quality of life. The present discussion is articulated through five devices of the financial biocapitalism of housing --the discourse of personal wealth, socio-territorial stratification, the fallacy of social credit, the reality of peripheral life, and the reality of indebted lives--, which help to explain the epistemic violence inherent to a financialized model of economic and territorial development that produces economic and political gains for a few people, to the detriment of those who are supposed to benefit from housing policies. The analysis reveals that the devices implemented reflect the subtlety of the exercise of power in the financialized provision of housing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chile's specific form of capitalism has given rise to a class of financial consumers who navigate a consumer society with low incomes but easy access to credit. As a result, being in debt has become a common expectation in Chilean society. In this study, we conducted 46 in-depth interviews with indebted financial consumers to examine the practices, materialities, and moral and social evaluations surrounding credit and debt. We explored how these concepts are reinterpreted and domesticated in a context where indebtedness is deeply entrenched. Through our analysis, we identified three interrelated processes: (1) moral operations that allow for the separation of credit from debt; (2) the redefinition of prices, values, and materialities through various credit practices used by financial consumers to survive in a precarious consumer society; and (3) the subjective evaluation and categorization of debt levels, which subverts conventional quantifications and categorizations of debt. Our findings demonstrate how financial consumers can unmoralize indebtedness and redefine credit, providing opportunities for counter-agency, collectivization, and politicization of indebted subjects. This article contributes to the discussion on the meaning of debt, provides insight into the financialization of everyday life, and offers a perspective on installation and participation in a consumer society from the viewpoint of subordinated subjects in the Global South.

While countries in the Global North have staved off the worst economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through massive stimulus spending, this option has been unavailable to many low- and middle-income countries, largely because high debt burdens have constrained fiscal spending. Nevertheless, almost no debt relief has materialized. The ad hoc approach to sovereign debt governance that emerged out of the debt crises of the 1980s helps explain why. It established an absolute commitment to upholding the right of private creditors to choose whether to participate in debt restructurings that has helped obstruct all significant sovereign debt governance reforms, preventing meaningful debt relief even in the context of the worst humanitarian crisis since the Great Depression.

El presente artículo da cuenta de los procesos de transición de diversas dic-taduras militares de Hispanoamérica a regímenes democráticos, ocurridos en las últimas tres décadas del siglo pasado, poniendo el foco de atención en la manera como en distintos países de la región se enfrentó la pesada carga en materia de violaciones a los derechos humanos heredadas de esas dictaduras, así como los diferentes grados de verdad y justicia alcanzados en cada uno de esos procesos, como las dificultades que surgieron para alcanzar dicho cometido. Especial consideración se hace con respecto al caso chileno y los resultados obtenidos en esta área.

Este artículo presenta una revisión del concepto de sujeto neoliberal a través de sus distintas caracterizaciones en la filosofía política contemporánea. Bajo las nociones de empresa, deuda y reto, se estudian las obras de los principales autores que se han ocupado de la subjetividad neoliberal y se muestran sus diferencias, así como el hilo conductor que, mediante acuerdos implícitos, ha avanzado la investigación hasta alcanzar una concepción del sujeto neoliberal como aquel que toma su vida como una sucesión de retos deportivos. Así, se concluye que el concepto de reto ha recogido los análisis basados en la empresa y en la deuda, ofreciendo la definición más completa y exacta del sujeto neoliberal.

Drawing on 203 quantitative surveys with women workers in Cambodia and a further set of semi-structured interviews with 60 original participants, this paper is one of the very first to present empirically grounded research from garment workers on the financial challenges of navigating the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We show how in the making of clothes to be worn by Western consumers, poorly paid garment workers are reducing their eating to repay long-term debts and those newly taken on to cope with wage reductions resulting from factory closures, suspensions, and cuts in working hours. In its examination of this phenomenon, the paper improves understanding of the gendered contingencies of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 'wearing out' of garment workers through their attempts to reproduce life under (pre-existing) conditions of privation. We argue that the debt-hunger nexus is not new but reflects problems within Cambodia's capitalist development, and capitalism itself, as the costs of social reproduction and risk are privatised and financialised in the body politic. The COVID-19 pandemic is consolidating relations with financialised life such that they will outlast its duration and have long-lasting implications for workers and their families globally.

This research study evaluates the effects of sales, budget constraint, and money availability on online credit card impulsive purchases during Black Friday in a Mexican city. The assessment probes their repercussions on credit card debt, up to twelve months after the event, and examines their effects on consumer financial distress. The methodology is quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and explanatory. An electronic survey is applied to 285 consumers. The analysis is conducted using partial least squares structural equations [PLS-SEM]. The results show that sales, budget constraint, and money availability prompt impulsive purchases, positively affecting credit card debt, which in turn increases financial problems. It is concluded that budget constraint has the greatest influence on impulsive purchases and that credit card debt strongly influences financial problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este trabajo se buscan distinguir las particularidades de las Asociaciones Público Privadas (APPs) respecto a formas históricas de asociaciones entre los sectores público y privado. Se auscultan sus alcances para brindar financiamiento al sector público. Es una aproximación teórico-descriptiva, con la pretensión de sintetizar la situación de las APPs y sus ventajas e inconvenientes. El estudio aborda la situación general al nivel internacional para ofrecer una panorámica de aspectos relevantes en torno a la utilidad efectiva que ofrece esta forma de contratación que se caracteriza por ofrecer financiamiento ante la escasez de recursos de los gobiernos para construir infraestructura y prestar servicios. En el ámbito geográfico y temporal busca proporcionar una panorámica sobre el surgimiento y utilización de las APPs en términos amplios, aunque refiriendo algunos aspectos concretos de Europa y América Latina.

Este artículo considera la relevancia de la obra de David Graeber, en particular de Debt, para la filosofía del derecho. Analiza su perspectiva del fenómeno jurídico y las implicaciones de sus nociones de deuda y sujeto de interés, con especial atención al efecto que han tenido sobre ellas los enfoques de austeridad. En segundo lugar, atiende a los conflictos axiológicos que se dan en el interior de nuestros ordenamientos sobre la primacía de la obligación de pagar las deudas y la distribución de responsabilidad y culpa entre los sujetos implicados. Para ello, tiene en cuenta también el tratamiento de la cuestión por parte del Tribunal Constitucional español. Por último, introduce algunas líneas de investigación posibles para la transformación del Derecho.

The neoliberal recommendations of the Washington Consensus were taken into account in the Political Constitution of 1991, however, in reality they had repercussions in the increase of the external public debt since the political and social conflict, as well as the backwardness of the national industry and dependence on coffee yields impeded long-term economic growth, increasing public spending and the need to resort to external credits [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the prevalence of transparency discourses in economic life (e.g., postcrisis socioeconomic reforms), scholarship is just beginning to analyze how these discourses produce new relations between market actors in platform economies. In this article, we argue that in the context of financial markets and the political economy of data, transparency functions as a discursive construction that creates suitable conditions for the manufacture and extraction of data as an asset. First, we examine the role of transparency and opacity in various understandings of the 2007–2008 global financial crisis (GFC). In doing so we link the emergence of FinTech firms to a careful ex post facto reconstruction of the GFC as what we term a "crisis of data." Then, through problematizing the idea that transparent economic relations necessarily lead to greater accountability, equity, or public good, we argue that transparency is better understood as a relational practice that is continuously and contingently renegotiated. Taking up the example of debt data, we provide case studies of the data brokerage companies BlackRock and dv01 to analyze how transparency constitutes the material infrastructure of debt markets, which facilitates the construction of data assets for profitable circulation in a financialized political economy. We analyze our case studies with a focus on four transparency practices used to infuse data with value—building relationality, increasing granularity, managing directionality, and creating legibility.

El patrimonio sin contenido económico realizable bastante plantea el problema de su propia existencia en el tráfico jurídico, puesto que el acreedor ostenta la legítima expectativa al cobro de su crédito a la vez que el deudor precisa de una seguridad que permita actuar ante tamaño escenario. La doctrina ha abordado esta enrevesada situación, donde la respuesta de los operadores jurídicos, primero, vacilante, ahora ya clara, para, precisamente, aliviar escenarios angustiosos que ni a unos, ni a otros, satisfacía en absoluto. Precisamente, la situación de excesivo celo tuitivo ha propiciado su análisis por la Resolución de la Dirección General de los Registros y del Notariado de 2 de septiembre de 2019 evitando, de una vez por todas, que este escenario confuso, a modo de inextricable jerigonza, dibuje un retrato bizantino que, no solo a los actores, sino particularmente a la economía, conviene atajar favoreciendo el emprendimiento y, sobre todo, la dignidad de la persona. Asimismo, la reciente Resolución de la Dirección General de Seguridad Jurídica y Fe Pública de 4 de octubre de 2021 ahonda en esta cuestión.
