Thanks, Leanna, so much for your presentation just now! Nice to see your warm cheery face sharing about fun and great Lego Robotics!
In searching on "WRO LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 tournament" (since I have WeDo 2.0) and think these tournaments could inspire learners from home even - especially if in a new virtual environment - and found -

Am curious if this virtual Lego idea could emerge further in combination with edX Online Campus - with which at edX the MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is officially partnering - could emerge as part of World University and School's planned campus of a #Realistic Virtual Earth for STEAM - https://twitter.com/hashtag/

Glad that the WUaS Educational Services' Store is officially carrying the 3 Lego Robotics' kits (thank you)
And I touch on both MIT OCW Lego Robotics and WUaS plans for our undergraduate engineering degree here in the recent World Univ & Sch's open Monthly Business Meeting Minutes -

Wonderful presentation -
Yale University Professor Ana De La O
Dear Ana,
Thank you again for your excellent and delightful "Crafting Policies to End Poverty" Stanford talk - https://mailchi.mp/stanford.
Two further thoughts or questions came to mind after it yesterday:
Could you see cash transfers as becoming experiments (re an UBI), even somehow substituting the word such 'experiments' for 'cash transfers' conceptually?
And could you see an organization in Latin America emerging to distribute a single cryptocurrency, paralleling the European Central Bank (representing 19 our 28 nation states' central banks regarding the EURO), and which could address in a pan-Latin American way, and governments-wise, questions of insulation of programs, as well as fair distribution of cash transfers, mitigating the country by country issues you mentioned and in the countries' you study?
Best regards,
Scott
My questions from before your talk and during:
What role might UBI experiments to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks come to play in crafting policies to end poverty in Latin America? (And how best to proceed with WUaS facilitating a single cryptocurrency distributed via UBI experiments in most of all of ~200 countries - to alleviate poverty - and with Wikidata PIN #s for all 7.8 billion wiki teachers and learners? https://
Thank you for your delightful & excellent talk, Prof. De La O! But what about ubi EXPERIMENTS, and especially to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of Latin America’s central banks (and post-Euro backed by 19 out of 28 countries' central banks, and the US dollar as a de facto international currency)? What might be these social protection systems’ relationship with their national banks? Are CCT transfers forms of UBI experiments - and IT-wise esp., - could one hypothesize and study? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@

Are you familiar with this recent book by Manuel Castells?
The New Latin America
by Fernando Calderón, Manuel Castells, Ramsey McGlazer (Translation)
Latin America has experienced a profound transformation in the first two decades of the 21st century: it has been fully incorporated into the global economy, while excluding regions and populations devalued by the logic of capitalism. Technological modernization has gone hand-in-hand with the reshaping of old identities and the emergence of new ones.
The transformation of Latin America has been shaped by social movements and political conflicts. The neoliberal model that dominated the first stage of the transformation induced widespread inequality and poverty, and triggered social explosions that led to its own collapse. A new model, neo-developmentalism, emerged from these crises as national populist movements were elected to government in several countries. The more the state intervened in the economy, the more it became vulnerable to corruption, until the rampant criminal economy came to penetrate state institutions. Upper middle classes defending their privileges and citizens indignant because of corruption of the political elites revolted against the new regimes, undermining the model of neo-developmentalism. In the midst of political disaffection and public despair, new social movements, women, youth, indigenous people, workers, peasants, opened up avenues of hope against the background of darkness invading the continent.
This book, written by two leading scholars of Latin America, provides a comprehensive and up-do-date account of the new Latin America that is in the process of taking shape today. It will be an indispensable text for students and scholars in Latin American Studies, sociology, politics and media and communication studies, and anyone interested in Latin America today.

Webinar SpeakersOctober 23, 2020 - Ana Lorena De La O Associate Professor of Political Science, Yale University @Live-stream link: https://tinyurl.com/ Lecture Description: The current global health crisis and its economic impact have revealed the weaknesses of social assistance systems in many countries. In this talk, I will discuss some of the themes in the book Crafting Policies to End Poverty in Latin America, and will draw lessons from the design and implementation of conditional cash transfer programs in the region. The talk will underscore the importance of understanding the causes and consequences of policy design choices, such as the decision of governments to insulate social policies from political manipulations or not. I will show that whether presidents limit their own discretion or not has consequences for the survival of policies, their political manipulation, and the political capabilities of poor people. About the Speaker: Ana Lorena De La O is an associate professor of Political Science at Yale University, where she is affiliated with the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, the Institution of Social |

Dear Professor Murillo,
Thanks for your Stanford talk -
Observers often take institutional weakness as an exogenous feature of the landscape, decrying the many ways in which weak institutions get in the way of accomplishing various political agendas. In the book "The Politics of Institutional Weakness in Latin America, Brinks, Levitsky and Murillo turn the tables, showing the ways in which institutional weakness is itself a political strategy. Their analysis draws on the contributions of chapters covering an array of formal institutions, from constitutions and electoral rules, to labor laws and indigenous rights regimes.
https://mailchi.mp/stanford.
My questions:
How is institutional strength or weakness informed by the 'actors' of political disaffection and public despair, new social movements, women, youth, indigenous people, workers, peasants?
And from a different theoretical perspective, and regarding the 2020 book, "The New Latin America," in what ways could a "new model, neo-developmentalism," reshape state capacity in terms of institutional strength or weakness ?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for sending your inspiring email before or after our talking, and for your news about what sounds like a wonderful trip - "Beautiful fall foliage, all meals outdoors, lots of good walks and even waded in a lake." :)
And nice to talk Ma, and so glad you had a good trip to Ligonier.
Am glad too you enjoy and attend the 1st Unitarian Church of P service online!
Seems like there's more of a vision of love in the 'church' than in any other institution in society eg govts, companies, universities, phil depts in univs etc, & am appreciative of the Unitarian Church in these regards, since you & Dad met & married there, & I've learned to love - as in caring & loving - much from your wonderful love, and experientially inside
Heading out later to get another a full car load from my move later, and time soon for breakfast. :)
Sending love, Scott
