China hopes this process will also narrow the inequality gap and help preserve the environment. The Asian giant urgently needs to develop its domestic market so that it can depend less on fixed investment and exports as sources of accumulation. This will slow the pace of economic expansion but will have the advantage of creating a more balanced growth.</p> María Teresa Rodríguez y Rodríguez Copyright (c) 2 6 https://journals.unam.mx/index.php/rde/article/view/28270 <p>This article evidences that the fiscal system of inter-governmental relationships in Mexico has exacerbated the financial dependence of state governments over the past decade.

Malthus' model for population growth predicted a future of widespread famine. On the other hand, Pierre F. Verhulst's model helps us understand why this prediction has not come true. This article proposes the use of both models and the bifurcation diagram obtained from Verhulst’s model as a basis for a proposed mathematical model that helps us to better understand the issue of intensive and extensive exploitation of nature.</p> Arturo Bonilla Sánchez Jorge Zaragoza Badillo Copyright (c) 2 6 https://journals.unam.mx/index.php/rde/article/view/28273 <p>This article presents a critical view of the ideas of Eugen Varga, the leading theorist of the third communist international. Vargas examined various aspects of the economic cycle, the major crises that afflicted the capitalist world at the time, the evolution of various capitalist countries and State capitalism. Late in his life he came under heavy fire from Stalin's co-partisans, and was stripped of his post, though he was subsequently restored to office.</p> Luis Sandoval Ramírez Copyright (c) 2 6 https://journals.unam.mx/index.php/rde/article/view/28274 Juan Martínez Sorian Copyright (c) 2 6 https://journals.unam.mx/index.php/rde/article/view/28275 José Rafael Valencia González Copyright (c) 2 6
