Abstract

El libro invita al lector a hacer, básicamente, un recorrido por el mundo occidental, que nos lleva desde las cuevas del Neolítico hasta Wall Street en la mitad de la crisis de 2007. Un recorrido que tiene escalas importantes para conocer la realidad y el pensamiento desarrollado a partir de esta en el mundo preindustrial, en sus componentes de mundo antiguo, de Grecia y Roma; del Medievo escolástico; del mercantilismo colmado del pragmatismo de los comerciantes; del amarre con la tierra del pensamiento fisiocrático hasta llegar a Adam Smith, colocado en el cruce de caminos entre ese mundo mercantil y tímidamente industrial; el mundo de la Revolución Industrial que alimenta y desafía el pensamiento de Ricardo, Marx y Stuart Mili, y luego de los socialistas utópicos y los marginalistas con sus tres ramas, de la escuela austriaca, de los walrasianos y de los anglosajones de la escuela de Cambridge. El recorrido nos lleva por el estallido político, económico y social que trajo la Primera Guerra Mundial y sus secuelas, de donde surge la propuesta de un capitalismo reformado con fuerte presencia del Estado, que es el pensamiento de Keynes, pensamiento que a su vez hará crisis en la década de los años setenta, abriendo paso al regreso del liberalismo clásico con Milton Freidman y la llamada revolución neoliberal. El libro concluye en un pasado próximo, en el 2007, hace una década, cuando estos planteamientos entran en crisis y se abre una discusión que continúa al orden del día sobre perspectivas de futuro, tanto de la realidad económica como de su análisis. Es un llamado a ese reencuentro del pensamiento económico con el rico y diverso tronco del conocimiento y análisis social, con el cual debe mantener un diálogo respetuoso, dejando de lado las vanas pretensiones de un economicismo pedante; que sea enriquecedor en el proceso inacabado de acercarnos a una plena comprensión de la condición humana y de sus expresiones sociales.
