Some of that same sorcery--minus the stomach-upsetting side effects--is present in the duo's terrific new CD Gozo Poderoso (BMG U.S. Latin). Aterciopelados (the name means the Velvety Ones and was borrowed from the writings of Simone de Beauvoir) formed in Bogota around 1990. Echeverri's parents were dentists; Buitrago's family ran a store in a market. The two dated, but soon their bond became a purely musical one. "That relationship is in the past," says Echeverri. "But we respect each other and we love each other...

Korsgaard, professor of Philosophy, Juliet B. Schor, senior lecturer in Women's Studies, Richard F. Thomas, professor of Greek and Latin, and Bert R.

That grimy army of Mexico City street vendors, he claims, is part of an underground economy that helps create 85% of Latin America's new jobs. All it takes to jump-start economic growth in poor nations, he insists, is to legalize those clandestine markets, unleashing legions of new creditworthy entrepreneurs who can be trading partners for businesses in the U.S. and elsewhere. And De Soto thinks he knows how to make...
...Third World's poor--two-thirds of the world's population--have little choice but to work outside the legal system. De Soto estimates the value of their extralegal property at $9.3 trillion--about as large as the annual GDP of the U.S. economy.
