are two examples, among many, of leaders in the abolitionist movements. These two personalities are both significant because they have lived the pre and post slave period. They knew what it was to be slave and also what it was to be free. In this paper, we will focus on a comparison of their speeches: “An Address to the Slaves of the United States of America” and “Fourth of July”. We will analyze how the two writers approach the system of slavery, freedom and the relationship between them. From

Notes on Inequality and Poverty in Brazil: Current Situation and Challenges Nathalie Beghin Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world. The paper analyses the causes of this inequality in terms of Brazil’s development process, which has traditionally ‘managed poverty’ without making efforts to promote change in the socio-economic order: what the author terms ‘conservative modernisation’.

CORPORATE MALFEASANCE A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACT Canada is criticized for not being rigorous with corporate malfeasance and is known to be a safe haven for white-collar crimes. This is seen through the analysis of the $150 million pump-and-dump YBM Magnex scheme where the President received a life time ban from becoming a director or officer of any issuer in Ontario only; the CEO received 5 year ban plus $250

spectacular blow-ups that are not directly linked to valuation or accounting tools, but rather, result from flaws in a firm's policy and business processes. To avoid a similar fate, all companies must adopt sound derivatives accounting policies.

Selon la majorité de ces chercheurs, l’aide n’a pas toujours été efficace ; mais, en général, l’augmentation des flux d’aide a été associée à une croissance plus rapide.
