THE CONDOR'S FLIGHT: A REFLECTION ON ETHICS AND ECOLOGY by Miguel Polo Santillán pp. 1-3

FUJIMORI’S NEOLIBERALISM by Gustavo Flores Quelopana pp. 5-6
Because of its origin and theoretical and practical contents Fujimori’s neoliberalism is in essence the same that imperialism is applying in the rest of the world. Against what they say, the liberal resurrection is not a sign of vitality of the capitalist system, but to the contrary, it is a mark of its failure in order to raise again and to give a rational solution to the graves problems of the contemporary world.
THE USE OF MODELS IN THE MONETARY METHODOLOGY by Richard Vivar T. pp.7-8
In this paper we make a critical analysis of the econometric models used in the Monetary Economic School. We have underlined the compulsive use of some of the operative and formal characteristics of the social-scientific research like the methodological one neglecting the theoretical basis and praxis as a source of knowledge and criterion of thruth or scien-tic validity. We have divided our paper in two parts in order to introduce it. In the first one we describe the Monetary methodoly and stablish its origin. In the second one we illustrate the application of that methodology, after we analize and critize it and finally we deduce the respective conclussions.
ON THE FALL OF THE REALLY EXISTENT MARXIST SOCIALISM by Manuel A. Paz y Miño pp. 9-13
The fall of the European Marxists governments and the partially liberal economics of the communist China have done to many people to think that the reaching of ideals like social justice, fraternity, etc. of Marxism’s founders -and also of great philosophies and religions- has been a simple uthopia. Nineteenth century’s Marxism was "scientific". At the present social and natural sciences have a different level of develop-ment, then whichever tentative of political and social betterment should have them in account -and why not? the best of humanities as well- in order to get a better efectivity. Also it is mentioned some criticisms to Marxism with their re-spective responses.
