    Poverty, Trust, and Social Distance: A Self-Reinforcing “Poverty Trap”?
    with Almudena Fernández and Luis F. López-Calva
    Social Philosophy and Policy 40 (1): 129-149. 2023.
    We consider the concept of poverty from the asset-accumulation approach and propose an integrated framework, building upon existing theories, to describe how the interconnected factors of trust (or lack thereof) and social distance can reinforce poverty traps. Social distance is influenced by choice, while trust is the symptom that defines the strength of social ties on a group. We look at how an absence of trust influences how households make decisions about the use and accumulation of assets i…Read more

    with Áurea Anguera de Sojo, Juan Ares, María Aurora Martínez, Juan Pazos, and José Gabriel Zato
    Foundations of Science 19 (4): 387-401. 2014.
    This paper presents the manner in which the DNA, the molecule of life, was discovered. Unlike what many people, even biologists, believe, it was Johannes Friedrich Miescher who originally discovered and isolated nuclein, currently known as DNA, in 1869, 75 years before Watson and Crick unveiled its structure. Also, in this paper we show, and above all demonstrate, the serendipity of this major discovery. Like many of his contemporaries, Miescher set out to discover how cells worked by means of s…Read more
