Abstract

En este ensayo se compara la crisis del COVI9-19 en América Latina con dos crisis de larga duración (la Gran Depresión y la crisis de la deuda) y dos más recientes y menos prolongadas (la crisis asiática de 1997 y la crisis del Atlántico Norte de 2008-2009). En el análisis se indica que casi todas las perturbaciones de origen externo, asociadas al financiamiento externo, los términos de intercambio, el volumen de comercio y las remesas, han sido menos extremas durante la crisis actual. La principal deficiencia ha sido la limitada cooperación financiera internacional. Por este motivo, la gravedad de la crisis obedece más a factores internos: que la región haya sido el epicentro mundial de la pandemia durante varios meses y que la crisis haya ocurrido tras un lustro de pobre desempeño económico y tres décadas de lento crecimiento. Por este motivo, la región, más allá de políticas para superar la crisis, necesita modificar sus patrones de desarrollo.
