Default is the riveting story of Argentina's sovereign debt drama, which reveals the obscure inner workings of sovereign debt restructuring. This detailed case study describes the intense fight over the role of the IMF in Argentina's 2005 debt restructuring and the ensuing bitter decade of litigation with holdout creditors, demonstrating that outcomes for sovereign debt are determined by a complex interplay between financial markets, governments, the IMF, the press, and the courts.

Story0
In this brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land and the poetry of Nicaragua, Salman Rushdie brings to the forefront the palpable human facts of a country in the midst of revolution. Rushdie went to Nicaragua in 1986. What he discovered was overwhelming: a land of difficult, often beautiful contradictions, of strange heroes and warrior-poets. Rushdie came to know an enormous range of people, from the foreign minister, a priest, to the midwife who kept a pet cow in her living room.

Experts believe that Brazil, the world's fifth largest country and its seventh largest economy, will be one of the most important global powers by the year 2030. Yet far more attention has been paid to the other rising behemoths: Russia, India, and China. Often ignored and underappreciated, Brazil, according to renowned, award-winning journalist Michael Reid, has finally begun to live up to its potential but faces important challenges before it becomes a nation of substantial global significance.

In October 2022, Lula was once again elected President of Brazil, replacing the far-right strongman Bolsonaro, sparking an insurrection, and exiling the fallen demagogue to Trump-friendly circles in the US. He won by promising to save the Amazon (and, therefore, the world) and, as ever, to give power back to the Brazilian people.

His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution while everyone around him drew guns and partied.

On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle one. Jonathan M. Katz, the only full-time American news correspondent in Haiti, was inside his house when it buckled along with hundreds of thousands of others. In this visceral first-hand account, Katz takes readers inside the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and through the monumental--yet misbegotten--rescue effort that followed.

Um livro corajoso que traz uma visão arejada e acessível sobre a economia brasileira. Entre 2006 e 2017, a economia brasileira viveu numa montanha russa. Do segundo mandato de Lula ao impeachment de Dilma Rousseff, o país passou por alguns dos anos de maior prosperidade de sua história, mas também viveu uma crise Sem precedentes. O que aconteceu? Este livro sugere uma resposta. Segundo a autora, os obstáculos para a continuidade do crescimento inclusivo de 2006 e 2010 eram superáveis, mas optou-se por fazer deles pretexto para uma malsucedida mudança de rumo.

¿Qué pasa si en un país inestable aparece un líder inestable? Este libro quería ser una radiografía de la nueva derecha que hoy tiene como líder a Javier Milei. Pero con el correr de los meses, de las entrevistas, de los encuentros off the record, de seguir facturas, sellos y papeleríos, el trabajo pasó de ser uno de campo con ribetes casi académicos a un thriller tragicómico, a medio camino entre los policiales negros de Raymond Chandler y La conjura de los necios de John Kennedy Toole. Los secretos místicos de Milei fueron la primera revelación que obligaron a cambiar los planes.

Regina Martínez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico’s Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories for the magazine Proceso laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics. She was barred from press conferences, and copies of Proceso often disappeared before they made the newsstands. In 2012, shortly after Proceso published an article on corruption and two Veracruz politicians, and the magazine went missing once again, she was bludgeoned to death in her bathroom. The message was clear: No journalist in Mexico was safe.

En este libro documentado con suficiencia y valioso para el debate público, quien fuera secretario de Comunicaciones y Transportes revela los pormenores de tal determinación tan polémica, sosteniendo que desde su concepción el NAICM fue un proyecto sin futuro, plagado de anomalías estructurales que tarde o temprano lo harían estallar.
