Abstract

Poco antes de morir Ulpiano le pedí que si me ayudaba a mirar de nuevo la situación fiscal para ver qué le podíamos aconsejar al entonces presidente electo, cuando todavía no tenía equipo económico conformado. Me respondió que el estaba ya "jarto" de sumar y que no le veía ningún atractivo intelectual a las cifras fiscales o a la resolución de problemas de aritmética cuan- do hay tantos problemas reales por resolver. El decía que el exceso de preocupación con la macro hacía que muchas de las mejores cabezas de Colombia se dedicaran exclusivamente a ese te- ma y a sumar, y se desentendieran de los otros problemas económicos y administrativos del país, cuando lo necesario es precisamente concentrarse en esos problemas para ir removiendo obstáculos críticos para el desarrollo y crear soluciones de largo plazo a los problemas financieros y administrativos del Estado.
