Editorial Reviews

Product Description
How one of the greatest economic expansions in history sowed the seeds of its own collapse. In the 1990’s, yes, jobs were created, technology prospered, inflation fell, and poverty was reduced. But at the same time the foundation was laid for the economic problems we face today. This groundbreaking work by the Nobel Prize-winning economist argues that much of what we understood about the 90s' prosperity is wrong, that the theories that have been used to guide world leaders and anchor key business decisions were fundamentally outdated.

Description in Spanish: La década de los noventa marcó el surgimiento de la nueva economía, caracterizada por unos incrementos de productividad que duplicaban o triplicaban lo conocido durante las dos décadas precedentes. Pero los felices noventa se acabaron bien pronto, antes incluso de que Bill Clinton abandonara la Casa Blanca. La economía entró en recesión y los escándalos empresariales destronaron a los sumos sacerdotes del capitalismo: daba la impresión de que los directivos de algunas empresas estaban lucrando a expensas de sus accionistas y empleados. La globalización, que tan recientemente se había saludado como el comienzo de un mundo nuevo, también parecía verse con malos ojos. La reunión de la Organización Mundial del Comercio celebrada en Seattle en 1999, que tenía por fin ahondar en la apertura del mundo, acabó en disturbios protagonizados por grupos preocupados por los efectos, a veces devastadores, que la globalización tiene sobre los más pobres. Es necesario arrojar nueva luz sobre lo que ocurrió esos años, acentuando la necesidad de reinterpretarlos. Existe una pugna ideológica entre quienes abogan por reducir al mínimo la intervención del Estado en la economía y quienes sostienen que el Gobierno debe asumir un papel importante no sólo para corregir las carencias y limitaciones del mercado, sino también para tender hacia un grado más alto de justicia social. Stiglitz se cuenta entre los segundos, y en este libro pretende explicar por qué está convencido de que, aun cuando los mercados centralicen el éxito de nuestra economía, si los dejamos operar solos no siempre funcionan como debieran.

Esta obra no se limita a reescribir la historia económica de los noventa: es, en la misma medida, una historia del futuro, del punto en el que los países desarrollados se encuentran en este momento y de hacia dónde deberían tender para que la economía mundial llegue a un curso más justo y estable.
