Government-Directed Money Flows and The Discordance Between Production and Consumption in Provincial Economies, 1961–1979

The increasing scale of direct government intervention in money flows raises questions about the changing structure of Canada's space economy. Estimates of intersectoral and interprovincial money flows provide a basis for assessing the changing impact of govenment-directed flows in final demand expenditure, in personal income composition, and in explaining the pattern of discordance between the production and consumption modes of provincial economies. Inferences are made also about the relevance of dominance rankings of urban centres controlling revenue flows in Canada's economic-geographic system.
L'échelle croissante d'intervention directe du gouvernement dans les flux de l'argent soulbve des questions au sujet du changement de structure de l'économie spatiale du Canada. Les estimations des flux d'argent intersectoriels et interprovincaux donnent une base pour évaluer le changement d'impact des écoulements dirigés par le gouvernement vers les utilisateurs finals, la composition du revenus personnel, et par l'explication de l'echantillonage de dtsaccords entre les modes de production et de consommation des tconomies provinciaizs. Des interventions sont faites Cgalement au sujet de la pertinence des classements dominants des centres urbains par le contr6le des flux de revenus dans le systkme Ccono-ghgraphique du Canada.

Indian Lands,Environmental Policy and Military Geopolitics in the Development of the Brazilian Amazon: The Case of the Yanomami

This article examines the realignments of the developmentalist discourse and strategy of the Brazilian military for the Amazon during the civilian government of the ‘New Republic’ (1985–90). It focuses on a case study, i.e. the official expropriation of the lands of the Yanomami Indians in the states of Roraima and Amazonas along the Brazil/Venezueta border. The analysis brings to light how, during this period, the military aimed at neutralizing both the pressure of environmental NGOs on Brazil's international creditors and the emergent democratization of decisions on land use in Amazônia. It shows how such attempts involved manipulating environmental legislation and ecological rhetoric in order to perpetuate military hegemony over the development of Amazônia to the benefit of mining interests. Finally, the paper traces the roots of these man?uvres to a geopolitical and economical model for Amazonian integration still inspired by the national security doctrine drawn up in the 1950s and 1960s by the Escola Superior de Guerra.     

Lithopedion as an archaic occurrence

Identification of a 3100-year-BP lithopedion in the Archaic Southwest antedates its first clinical notation by 2100 years. It was only the ‘autopsy’ of time (excavation of the site) that allowed its presence to be brought to light.
