Vol. 9 No. 16 (2011): Latin American Journal of Economic Development No. 16
Dear readers, I am pleased to present Number 16 of the Latin American Economic Development Magazine (LAJED), which incorporates two important novelties. First, from this edition the magazine will accommodate an article of discussion in a wide spectrum of topics related to economic, social, technological and ethical. Second, it is important to point out that along with this printed issue the first issue of the journal is sent in electronic format, which will maintain the scientific rigor and will be framed in the protocols of the Scielo platform. The topics covered in this publication are varied and range from an economic analysis of the energy sector, through a rigorous investigation of the productive chain of the country, to the discernment of a deep ethical article that raises the need to ask: what character must a man be built to make good decisions in an insecure, modern world, donated by economics and technology?
