China y su camino a la apertura
|
Resumen: En abril del 2014 la Comisión Reguladora del Mercado de Valores del China y la Comisión de Valores y Futuros de Hong Kong (CSRC y SFC, por sus siglas en ingles) anunciaron sus intenciones de crear un mecanismo que hiciera posible conectar las bolsas de Shanghai y Hong Kong, marcando un paso importante en la apertura del mercado de capitales anhelado por China en su XII plan quinquenal. De igual forma se buscaría la internacionalización del yuan y la consolidación de Hong Kong como centro financiero. Fue así que el 17 de noviembre del mismo año, ambas bolsas vincularon sus operaciones mediante el programa denominado Stock Connect. El programa nace con el sello de “experimental” y permite a los inversionistas de Shanghai invertir una cuota anual de 250,000 millones de yuanes (40,550 millones de dólares) en el parque de Hong Kong, mientras que los inversores procedentes de Hong Kong contarían con un máximo de 300,000 millones de yuanes (48,660 millones de dólares). |

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: |
