El porvenir de la política del desarrollo sustentable en América Latina
|
Resumen: La primera parte del texto discute y presenta dos libros de reciente aparición desde una perspectiva latinoamericana que examina aspectos sobre el desarrollo. Se hace una crítica a ciertas interpretaciones del estructuralismo latinoamericano en uno de los libros, y los silencios y desconocimientos del mismo por parte del otro. Otra idea, es la de intentar trascender la aparente contradicción entre la gestión de los "recursos renovables", por un lado, y por el otro, la transformación y reforma de las relaciones para pensar el desarrollo desde la noción de las asimetrías de poder, lo cual requiere otra lectura del estructuralismo. Habiendo examinado algunos conceptos de Prebisch para analizar la idea del "mercado", "precios" y "ganancias", en la segunda parte ("Posesión en separación" y la constitución de los agentes") se intenta proponer una serie de categorías y conceptos para pensar las asimetrías de poder a partir de la noción de la "heterogeneidad", consecuencia de las diversas formas de "posesión en separación" de los recursos productivos y simultáneamente pensar la constitución del "agente". Para concluir, se ofrece un bosquejo de un mapa político que podría generarse de una perspectiva que parte de una visión sobre la heterogeneidad económico-social de la región. |

For decades, the mainstream of both the Democratic and Republican parties favored expanding trade between the U.S. and other countries. Greater globalization, these politicians promised, would increase economic growth — and with the bounty from that growth, the country could compensate any workers who suffered from increased trade. But it didn’t work out that way. Instead, trade has contributed to the stagnation of living standards for millions of working-class Americans, by shrinking the number of good-paying, blue-collar jobs here. The incomes of workers without a bachelor’s degree have grown only slowly over the past few decades. Many measures of well-being — even life expectancy — have declined in recent years. All along, many politicians and experts continued to insist that trade was expanding the economic pie. And they were often right. But struggling workers understandably viewed those claims as either false or irrelevant, and they refused to support further expansions of trade. Fuente: |

Headlines are abuzz with the return of inflation, which, according to some measures, is now reaching 40 year highs. Considering that vanquishing inflation is supposed to be the one undisputed achievement of neoliberalism, why is it rising? Many explanations – from excessive money creation to disrupted supply chains to tightening labour markets and a post-lockdown surge in demand are offered. The view that it would be a short term affair is giving way to a more sobering assessment of its persistence, particularly since geopolitical conflict gave inflation a booster shot. As for its solution, one thing is clear, dealing with it as Paul Volcker famously did in the late 1970s is not a politically affordable option for governments beholden to elites whose outrageous fortunes depend on low interest rates. This panel will seek to examine this phenomenon by asking question such as why is inflation rising? Can we expect it persist? What are the major policy-options being discussed and what are their political implications of each? How should socialists think about this new problem? Fuente: |
