Robert Boyd, un irlandés en busca de la libertad en España
Full text linkThe article focuses on the relationship between Robert Boyd and Jose Maria Torrijos, a Spanish liberalist leader who fought against the absolutism of Fernando VII, and the determined support that the Irish gave to the Spanish through Sterling and the “Apostles of Cambridge” with the donation of his own fortune and his own personal commitment. He accompanied the liberals to Gibraltar, from where, after several unsuccessful invasion attempts, they tried to carry out the “Plan Viriato”, a deception concocted by the Malaga’s governor that resolved with the execution of 49 people on the beaches of that city on December 11, 1831 without a prior trial being necessary. It finally gathers the international reactions produced after the executions.El artículo se centra en la relación entre Robert Boyd y José María Torrijos —líder de los liberales españoles que pugnaban contra el absolutismo de Fernando VII— y el apoyo decidido que el irlandés brindó al español a través de Sterling y los Apóstoles de Cambridge con la donación de su propia fortuna y con su propia entrega personal. Incluso acompañó a los liberales hasta Gibraltar, desde donde, tras varias tentativas de invasión fallidas, intentaron llevar a cabo el Plan Viriato, un engaño urdido por el gobernador de Málaga que concluyó con la ejecución de 49 personas en las playas de esa ciudad el 11 de diciembre de 1831 sin que fuera preciso un juicio previo. El artículo recoge, finalmente, las reacciones internacionales que se produjeron tras los fusilamientos

Norms and Bounded Rationality
No full textAnthropologists believe that human behavior is governed by culturally transmitted norms, and that such norms contain accumulated wisdom that allows people to behave sensibly even though they do not understand why they do what they do. Economists and other rational choice theorists have been skeptical about functionalist claims because anthropologists have not provided any plausible mechanism which could explain why norms have this property. Here, we outline two such mechanisms. We show that occasional learning when coupled with cultural transmission and a tendency to conform can lead to the spread of sensible norms even though very few people understand why they are sensible. We also show that norms that help solve problems of selfcontrol that arise from time-inconsistent preferences can spread if individuals tend to imitate successful people and are occasionally influenced by members of other groups with different norms.
