Abstract

Este ensayo se ocupa de la macroeconomía del populismo en la América Latina. entendemos por "populismo" un enfoque al análisis económico que hace hincapié en el crecimiento y la redistribución del ingreso, y minimiza los riesgos de la inflación y el financiamiento deficitario, las restricciones externas y la reacción de los agentes económicos ante las políticas "agresivas" que operan fuera del mercado. Queremos demostrar aquí que las experiencias de política en diferentes países y periodos tienen rasgos comunes, desde la condiciones iniciales, la motivación de las políitcas y el argumento de que las condiocnes del país son diferentes, hasta el colapso final. Al examinar estas experiencias, la de Chile con Allende y la del Perú con García, no pretendemos hacer una afirmación moralista de la economía conservadora, sino advertir que las políticas populistas fallan en última instancia, y que cuando fallan lo hacen siempre a un costo inmenso para los mismos grupos supuestamente favorecidos...
