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.

El Capital, escrito por Karl Marx en 1867, es una obra fundamental que aborda la economía política y las dinámicas del capital en la sociedad capitalista. A través de un estilo riguroso y analítico, Marx explora conceptos como la mercancia, el valor y la plusvalia, ofreciendo una critica profunda de las relaciones de produccion y su impacto en la clase trabajadora. La obra se inscribe en un contexto literario y filosofico del siglo XIX, marcado por el auge de la revolucion industrial y las teorias economicas clasicas, cuestionando las bases del liberalismo economico y proponiendo una alternativa socialista. Su prosa, aunque densa y tecnica, se caracteriza por un enfoque sistematico que invita al lector a reflexionar sobre las implicaciones sociales y economicas del capitalismo. Karl Marx (1818-1883), filosofo, economista y sociologo aleman, fue una figura central en el desarrollo del pensamiento critico sobre el capitalismo. Influenciado por la filosofia hegeliana y las condiciones sociales de su tiempo, Marx busco comprender y desentrañar las estructuras de poder que perpetuaban la desigualdad. Su experiencia como periodista y su implicacion en movimientos politicos le llevaron a considerar la necesidad de una transformacion radical de la sociedad, algo que se manifiesta en El Capital como un llamado a la conciencia de clase y la emancipacion social. Recomiendo encarecidamente El Capital a aquellos que buscan comprender no solo los mecanismos economicos que rigen nuestras sociedades, sino tambien su raiz historica y social. La obra de Marx sigue siendo relevante y provocativa, ofreciendo herramientas conceptuales que permitan cuestionar y analizar las realidades contemporaneas del capitalismo. Sin duda, es una lectura esencial para academicos, estudiantes y cualquier persona interesada en la critica social y economica.

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.

Together, these texts reflect Smiths capacity to merge analytical rigor with a nuanced understanding of human nature, situating his ideas in the Enlightenment tradition of inquiry and critical thought. Adam Smith (1723-1790), a philosopher and economist, profoundly influenced Western thought with his beliefs in economic self-regulation and moral philosophy.
