Extract

En la década de 1930, el rendimiento de la economía norteamericana fue notablemente similar al de la década de 1970. En ambos períodos, la tasa de crecimiento del PIB cayó tras varios años de fuerte aumento. Las tasas de desempleo alcanzaron unos niveles sin precedentes y la inestabilidad resultante fue duradera más que transitoria. Al comienzo de cada una de estas décadas, profundas perturbaciones exógenas iniciaron las dificultades posteriores. Y, en ambos casos, enormes obstáculos políticos e intelectuales postedieron la adopción y la puesta en práctica de políticas contracíclicas adecuadas. ¿Son estas similitudes una mera coincidencia? ¿Demuestran simplemente un isomorfismo, o son la expresión de relaciones homólogas más profundas? Estos interrogantes constituyen el núcleo de este ensayo.
