Braun y Llach presentan de modo simple, consistente y realista las nociones básicas de la macroeconomía y las aplican de manera aguda y original a las peculiaridades del caso argentino.Pensado y escrito desde la perspectiva de nuestra economia, este libro es no solo un manual completo sobre los conceptos fundamentales de la macroeconomia, sino tambien una caja de herramientas accesible y eficaz para entender los debates actuales sobre la realidad argentina.¿Por que algunos paises son ricos y otros pobres? ¿Que factores determinan el crecimiento economico? ¿Como inciden las politicas publicas en los niveles de produccion, empleo y precios? ¿Cuales son las causas de la inestabilidad argentina? ¿Que papel juega la globalizacion en una economia como la nuestra? ¿De que dependen los movimientos de los precios o del tipo de cambio?¿De que hablamos cuando hablamos de inflacion o deficit fiscal?

Las dificultades por las que atraviesa la zona euro, aunque tengan causas, manifestaciones e intensidad que varían según los momentos históricos, no resultan novedosas. Son el producto de muchos factores externos, entre los que sobresale la creciente financiarizacion de la economia, que impone al capitalismo mundial sus formas y sus contenidos dominantes. Pero provienen tambien de un entramado institucional y economico insatisfactorio e incongruente. De ahi que la eurozona se halle inmersa, desde finales de los ochenta, en una fase prolongada de crecimiento blando, que tiende a alternar con periodos de recesion. Consecuencia de las numerosas limitaciones e incongruencias que sustentan el entramado de la moneda unica es que no solo esta no ha reducido las disparidades entre Estados miembros, como se argumento cuando fue ideado el proyecto, sino que se ha alcanzado lo contrario. El proceso de integracion europea no contribuye a dinamizar la economia mundial y se halla inmerso en una dinamica de involucion de la que unicamente podra salir si los gobernantes y responsables comunitarios asumen que no resulta viable una union monetaria privada de su horizonte federal. Aunque se descarte por inviable una plena soberania federal a corto plazo, se impone, como minimo, una institucionalizacion de los mecanismos de cooperacion voluntaria entre los Estados. Lo que requiere enfoques de ajuste mas simetricos. La encrucijada en la que se halla el proceso europeo, tal como se viene desarrollando, hace que los terminos de la alternativa sean entre mas integracion o, por el contrario, creciente intergubernamentalismo e implosion del propio proceso de integracion. Lo que alentaria el retorno de las pulsiones ultra-nacionalistas proteccionistas en Europa y el auge de los varios populismos abriria nuevamente las puertas a la barbarie.

Desde el ámbito político y mediático se acostumbra a establecer un vínculo sencillo y directo entre la creación de empleo y el crecimiento de la economía. Sin embargo, esta relación está lejos de ser tan diafana como se pretende. La ampliacion del mercado laboral no solo depende de un aumento del PIB, sino tambien de un cumulo de factores que se interrelacionan de una forma compleja.Crecimiento y empleo desvela las claves macroeconomicas que condicionan el mercado laboral, denuncia algunas falacias comunes e ilustra sus argumentos aplicandolos a la España actual. Y no solo analiza el presente, sino que se atreve a dar pistas de como desarrollos demograficos, tecnologicos y medioambientales van a determinar el futuro del empleo en las proximas decadas.

Desde Adam Smith, la teoría económica ha dado por supuesto que la mano invisible del libre mercado nos proporciona bienestar material. En este libro, los premios Nobel de Economía George Akerlof y Robert Shiller cuestionan esta idea, argumentando que los mercados dañan tanto como ayudan. A juicio de los autores, mientras exista la posibilidad de sacar un beneficio, los vendedores que concurren en los mercados explotaran sistematicamente las debilidades psicologicas y la ignorancia del consumidor a traves de la manipulacion y el engaño. Es decir, que el mercado esta plagado de trucos y trampas, y nos manipula como a bobos. Es nuestra obligacion como consumidores, y con este objetivo han escrito el presente libro, conocer estas trampas para evitar caer en ellas. De este modo, ahorraremos dinero y, a la vez, evitaremos que unos pocos se enriquezcan a costa de unos muchos.

Para saber dónde estamos, tanto en lo económico como en lo social o en lo político, debemos preguntarnos de dónde venimos. Lo primero es explicar lo ocurrido, y lo ocurrido, según Juan Rosell, presidente de la CEOE, es que el gasto, sobre todo el publico, nos ha devorado y amenaza con seguir haciendolo. El gasto como solucion, explica Rosell en este brillante ensayo, es una utopia viciada que solo sirve para confundir a la ciudadania. Es momento de cambiar las cosas con urgencia. Y para cambiarlas no podemos seguir haciendo lo mismo que hemos hecho hasta la fecha y que no ha funcionado: vivir como antes manteniendo el despilfarro. Es hora de cuadrar los numeros y esto, segun el autor, solo se puede conseguir con reformas en profundidad porque, tal y como reza el titulo de este libro, sin reformas no hay futuro. En esta obra Rosell propone una serie de cambios de gran calado, tales como la reestructuracion de las administraciones publicas, la mejora de la gestion publica, la reforma de la justicia, la laboral o la de la educacion, los cuales, por dificiles que sean, nos conducen a un mejor futuro para todos y nos desvian de la inexorable senda del declive y del empobrecimiento de nuestro pais. Los retos son muchos, y por esta misma razon las reformas deben afrontarse sin dilacion si queremos volver a situar a la economia española en el lugar que ocupo hace pocos años, incrementar la productividad y acabar de una vez por todas con la lacra del desempleo. En definitiva, si queremos volver al crecimiento economico y, con ello, evitar el declive.

Este libro ofrece un enfoque comparativo de los casos de desarrollo económico de China y Perú. Es una obra colectiva en la que escriben 22 autores, de China y de Perú. Este doble enfoque tiene por objetivo promover el conocimiento mutuo e identificar lecciones aprendidas. China y Peru son economias de ingreso medio que aspiran a ascender al grupo de las economias de ingreso alto. Los obstaculos en este camino configuran la llamada "trampa del ingreso medio" que esencialmente seria una trampa de crecimiento. El libro discute varios temas centrales que influyen en este proceso. Por ejemplo, la transicion economica en ambos paises, las tendencias de su apertura al mundo, la inversion en infraestructura en un caso y la brecha de infraestructura en otro, los desafios del desarrollo regional en ambas partes, el papel de la innovacion como motor del crecimiento futuro y sus limitantes, entre otros temas.

Published in 1923, A Tract on Monetary Reform is a lucid diagnosis of postWorld War I monetary disorder and a manifesto for stabilizing the domestic price level. Combining crisp polemic with empirical care, Keynes dissects inflation and deflation as "arbitrary and inequitable" redistributions, reframes the quantity theory as a practical guide to policy, and urges a managed currency over mechanical fidelity to gold. He advances index-number stabilization and assigns central banks the duty of safeguarding the internal value of money, warning against restoring prewar parities; the lapidary reminder, "in the long run we are all dead," punctuates his impatience with purely long-run cures. Keynes wrote as a Cambridge economist and seasoned Treasury official, shaped by wartime finance and the Versailles aftermath. His close observation of European hyperinflations and British deflation, together with looming plans to return to gold, compelled a brisk, unsentimental treatise in which statistical reasoning, institutional detail, and policy design are inseparable. This book merits close reading by economists, historians, and policymakers concerned with inflation targeting, central bank mandates, and the perennial trade-offs of monetary regimes. Clear, compact, and prescient, it illuminates the foundations of modern monetary policy while remaining acutely relevant to todays dilemmas of price stability and financial credibility.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
