En los últimos años, ha surgido una importante literatura y un crecienteinterés por la historia de la medicina y la salud pública en el Perú. A diferencia de la historia de la medicina tradicional, que poseía una visión triunfalista de la ciencia médica, esta nueva corriente de historia médica social, como originalmente se denominó, orienta sulabor hacia la influencia de los factores sociales y políticos en la producción de conocimientos científicos, la visión de los pacientes, el uso de la medicina y la salud pública como herramientas de control social, y el encuentro entre la medicina occidental con tradiciones curativas locales.1 A pesar de los avances, existen todavía importantes vacíos que cubrir. El presente ensayo desarrolla uno de los periodos menos estudiados por la historiografía médica peruana, como lo esel comprendido por las décadas inmediatamente posteriores al colapso del régimen virreinal. El personaje central de este texto es el médico británico Archibald Smith (1798-1870), quien pasó aproximadamente cuatro décadas —entre 1820 y 1860— viajando por el Perú y haciendo observaciones sobre los distintos climas, pueblos y enfermedades que encontró a su paso. En este trabajo, intento demostrar que los escritos de Smith constituyen una fuente sumamente valiosa para la mejor comprensión del estado de la ciencia médica peruana en los albores de la República.

Government propaganda has been a topic of interest since America was founded, and today is no exception. Every recent Presidential Administration has been accused of using taxpayer dollars to fund propaganda. Although the funding of propaganda has been prohibited by the Consolidated Appropriations Act since 1951, it still occurs frequently. There is no entity that reviews government correspondence before it is released to the public, so government agencies are free to produce what they feel is appropriate even if it is prohibited by the Act. Furthermore, there is no law that specifically forbids government propaganda, and the current punishments amount to a slap on the wrist making the production covert propaganda worth the risk. This thesis will also look at the Smith-Mundt Act and the media that it funds for foreign audiences. The material produced through this Act is banned from being disseminated in the U.S. The Smith-Mundt Act's ban does not take into account for the technological advances that have occurred since 1948 making the ban problematic for public diplomacy. The intent of this thesis is to evaluate the current state of government propaganda and determine what changes need to occur in order to curtail or eliminate government propaganda. This research will analyze the current laws and types of propaganda that are being used while taking into account the relevant history, frequently used types, and methods of propaganda.

In this paper I offer an analysis of the Adam Smith Problem. This Problem arises from perceived inconsistencies between Smith's economic work, The Wealth of Nations, and his moral theory, the Theory of Moral Sentiments. I argue that far from being inconsistent with Smith's economic theory, his moral theory serves as a necessary foundation. I suggest that, because he takes humans to be moral by nature, Smith defends social capitalism which requires moral economic agents rather than homo economicus. I then sketch some specific implications for the moral limits of Smithian social systems. / Master of Arts
