Joseph Stiglitz''s landmark book lifted the lid on how globalization was hurting those it was meant to help. Many of its predictions came true, and it became a touchstone in the debate. This major new edition looks afresh at the continuing mismanagement of globalization, and how it has led to our current political and economic discontents. Globalization can still be a force for good, Stiglitz argues. But the balance of power has to change. Here he offers real, tough solutions for the future.''A massively important political as well as economic document ... we should listen to him urgently'' Will Hutton, Guardian''Stiglitz is a rare breed, an heretical economist who has ruffled the self-satisfied global establishment that once fed him. Globalization and its Discontents declares war on the entire Washington financial and economic establishment'' Ian Fraser, Sunday Herald''Gripping ... this landmark book shows him to be a worthy successor to Keynes'' Robin Blackburn, Independent

Querido lector, estamos seguros de que frases como “El emprendimiento como motor del crecimiento y desarrollo económico y social de los países” le resultan de sobra conocidas, ya que en los últimos a

En economía, cuando el cuerpo de instituciones es insuficiente para resolver los problemas que surgen, dos fuerzas actúan en la generación de nuevas propuestas: el riesgo del acreedor y la incertidumbre. Con el objetivo de reducir estas variables, los acreedores han promovido la creacion de organismos que inicialmente servirian como estabilizadores de la economia mundial, pero hoy se han convertido en instrumentos de politica exterior, en oficinas de informacion sistemica.Bajo este contexto, la presente genealogia nos permite observar, mas alla del devenir historico, que la arquitectura financiera internacional los instrumentos, practicas e instituciones que aseguran la estabilidad es, en realidad, la expresion del poder politico del sistema financiero: cada escenario en el que la institucionalidad pierde vigencia implica una crisis, un momento en el que se juega el liderazgo en la economia internacional y se construye una nueva comprension, pero esta tiene siempre a los mismos beneficiarios.Muchos son los cambios que ha experimentado la arquitectura financiera: cambio conforme la economia paso de ser productiva e internacional a financiera y global; muto cuando el riesgo se elimino de las inversiones gracias al respaldo del dinero publico. Actualmente la financiarizacion esta presente en todas partes; en la sustitucion del salario por credito de consumo, en el arbitraje de tasas de interes (que sustituyo a la oferta y la demanda de bienes), etc. Sin embargo, todo parece indicar que existe un trato preferente. Es asi como se presenta un panorama que no es la foto fija de un devenir, sino el abordaje critico en busqueda de soluciones.

The definitive history of the Great Financial Crisis, from the acclaimed author of The Deluge and The Wages of Destruction. In September 2008 the Great Financial Crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman brothers, shook the world. A decade later its spectre still haunts us. As the appalling scope and scale of the crash was revealed, the financial institutions that had symbolised the West's triumph since the end of the Cold War, seemed - through greed, malice and incompetence - to be about to bring the entire system to its knees. Crashed is a brilliantly original and assured analysis of what happened and how we were rescued from something even worse - but at a price which continues to undermine democracy across Europe and the United States. Gnawing away at our institutions are the many billions of dollars which were conjured up to prevent complete collapse. Over and over again, the end of the crisis has been announced, but it continues to hound us - whether in Greece or Ukraine, whether through Brexit or Trump. Adam Tooze follows the trail like no previous writer and has written a book compelling as history, as economic analysis and as political horror story.
