Sommario/riassunto |

Two unprecedented, striking developments form part of the reality of many Latin Americans. Recent decades have seen the dramatic rise of a new religious pluralism, namely the spread of Pentecostal Christianity - Catholic and Protestant alike - and the growth of indigenous revitalization movements. This study analyzes these major transitions, asking what roles ethnicity and ethnic identities play in the contemporary process of religious pluralism, such as the growth of the Protestant Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal movements, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and the indigenous Maya movement in Guatemala. This book aims to provide an understanding of the agenda of religious movements, their motivations, and their impact on society. Such a pursuit is urgently needed in Guatemala, a postwar country |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The practice of setting a single price that all buyers pay is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Today's marketplace requires firms to develop innovative pricing strategies to remain competitive. Is it better to bundle goods or price them separately? What type of online auction will generate the most revenue? The purpose of this book is to use microeconomic theory to determine which pricing strategies will succeed, and under what conditions. |
