Europa está en crisis. La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 no ha hecho más que poner de manifiesto de forma aún más cruda sus debilidades: un crecimiento económico lento en muchos países y una recesión con graves consecuencias políticas y sociales, los recortes sociales y las tímidas respuestas de los gobiernos a situaciones enquistadas. Hemos asistido a una sucesión de fracasos económicos y políticos que ha contribuido al surgimiento de partidos de extrema derecha. Las poblaciones más vulnerables se han convertido en el chivo expiatorio de todos los males, pero los principales obstáculos para el crecimiento de la Europa actual se derivan de decisiones basadas en un culto ciego a los mercados.Si Europa desea activar de nuevo una economía innovadora y dinámica, si aspira a una prosperidad más inclusiva, a la solidaridad y la justicia social, los países de la Unión Europea deben romper con su actual y errática trayectoria. Este libro ofrece estrategias de renovación que revitalizarían el proyecto de integración europeo, con ideas que traen aire fresco a los ámbitos de la macro y la microeconomía, sin obviar temas como los bancos centrales, la inversión pública, las políticas sociales y el comercio internacional.
With history and the extraordinary parallels between Biden and FDR as his guide, the veteran political analyst diagnoses what’s at stake for America in 2022 and beyond
Joe Biden has found his way back to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. After four decades of diminishing prospects for ordinary people, the public likes what Biden is offering. Yet American democracy is in dire peril as Republicans, increasingly the national minority, try to destroy democracy in order to cling to power. It is the best of times and the worst of times. In Going Big, bestselling author and political journalist Robert Kuttner assesses the promise and peril of this critical juncture. Biden, like FDR in his time, faces multiple challenges. Roosevelt had to make terrible compromises with racist legislators to win enactment of his program. Biden, to achieve the necessary governing coalition, needs to achieve durable multiracial coalitions. Roosevelt had to conquer fascism in Europe; Biden must defeat it at home. And after four decades of neoliberal policy disasters reflecting Wall Street’s political influence, Biden needs to go beyond what even FDR achieved, to restore a democratic economy of broad possibility. From a writer with an unparalleled understanding of the history and politics that have made this moment possible, this book is the essential guide to what is at stake for Joe Biden, for America, and for our democracy.

Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment funds with combined asset holdings that are fast approaching four trillion dollars. Recently emerging as a major force in global financial markets, SWFs have other distinctive features besides their state-owned status: they are mainly located in developing countries and are intimately tied to energy and commodities exports, and they carry virtually no liabilities and have little redemption risk, which allows them to take a longer-term investment outlook than most other institutional investors. Edited by a Nobel laureate, a respected academic at the Columbia Business School, and a longtime international banker and asset manager, this volume examines the specificities of SWFs in greater detail and discusses the implications of their growing presence for the world economy. Based on essays delivered in 2011 at a major conference on SWFs held at Columbia University, this volume discusses the objectives and performance of SWFs, as well as their benchmarks and governance. What are the opportunities for SWFs as long-term investments? How do they fulfill their socially responsible mission? And what role can SWFs play in fostering sustainable development and greater global financial stability? These are some of the crucial questions addressed in this one-of-a-kind volume.
