Abstract

El Profesor D. C. M. Platt, fallecido el 15 de agosto de 1989 en Oxford, tenía la rara cualidad de escribir con facilidad temas pensados en profundidad y con rigor, el mismo que exigía de sus colegas. Rigor en el análisis, en los datos, en las fuentes, aspectos que lo obsesionaron en particular en los últimos años. No en vano gustaba citar aquello de que «en un mundo como el nuestro, para que valga la pena regar un jardín (debiéramos saber), si está o no plantado con flores de papel». Esta obsesión por distinguir las flores falsas de las verdaderas lo llevó a replantearse la validez cuantitativa de muchas de las afirmaciones relacionadas, sobre todo, con los movimientos y flujos de capital.
