Plastic Capitalism - Banks...

Sean H. Vanatta

American households are awash in expensive credit card debt. But where did all this debt come from? In this history of the rise of postwar American finance, Sean H. Vanatta shows how bankers created our credit card economy and, with it, the indebted nation we know today. 
 
 
  
America's consumer debt machine was not inevitable. In the years after World War II, state and federal regulations ensured that many Americans enjoyed safe banks and inexpensive credit. Bankers, though, grew restless amid restrictive rules that made profits scarce. They experimented with new services and new technologies. They settled on credit cards, and in the 1960s mailed out reams of high-interest plastic to build a debt industry from scratch. 
 
 
  
In the 1960s and 70s consumers fought back, using federal and state policy to make credit cards safer and more affordable. But bankers found ways to work around local rules. Beginning in 1980, Citibank and its peers relocated their card plans to South Dakota and Delaware, states with the weakest consumer regulations, creating "on-shore" financial havens and drawing consumers into an exploitative credit economy over which they had little control. We live in the world these bankers made.

The Puppet As An Educational...

Paula G. Eleta

In this short paper Paula Eleta explores the theme of the value of the puppet in the pedagogical field, mainly in early childhood (0-6 years), as an effective tool to improve the quality of the educational service through play. Under the direction of the educator, the puppet can become an excellent ”assistant” to build new educational contexts, able to offer all those who live in the services different accesses to a common and shared space. The puppet can help to found a more inclusive ”school”, giving voice and listening to the past, experiences, knowledge and skills of the various actors involved: children (first of all), families, educators, pedagogical coordinators and other subjects of their own territory. ”The puppet as an educational tool value” is a written text in an accessible and immediate form. Furthermore, the topics covered have been elaborated on the basis of the author`s long experience in the field. The content is therefore full of concrete and enlightening examples and, among the many proposed activities to be carried out, there is an easy and quick technique to build puppet characters: an activity that can be performed, at the various educational services, both together with families and children (with the support of adults).

Caesar and the Roman Republic -...

Rogan Fish

Julius Caesar’s rise to power is one of the most fascinating stories in Roman history. Born into a patrician family in 100 BCE, Caesar’s early life was marked by both privilege and struggle. Although he came from a noble family, his position was not secure. His family had fallen from political prominence, and Caesar’s early years were fraught with financial difficulties and political rivalries. His father died when Caesar was young, leaving him to navigate the complex political landscape of Rome largely on his own.
Caesar’s first major step toward power came when he joined the military, gaining valuable experience and recognition in the Roman army. His leadership and military skill helped him rise through the ranks, and by 69 BCE, he had secured a position as quaestor, a crucial step in his political career. During his time in the army, Caesar gained a reputation for his boldness and ambition, qualities that would define his later political career.
His political journey truly began when he formed the First Triumvirate in 60 BCE, a political alliance with two of Rome’s most powerful figures: Pompey the Great and Crassus. This alliance was not born of friendship, but rather of mutual interests. Pompey sought land for his soldiers and recognition for his military victories, while Crassus, the wealthiest man in Rome, sought political influence and power. Caesar, for his part, wanted to secure military command and the financial backing necessary to rise to the top of Roman politics. Together, they formed a formidable bloc that allowed Caesar to advance rapidly in his career.
