Raúl Prebisch y la dinámica económica: crecimiento cíclico e interacción entre el centro y la periferia

Prebisch pensaba que para comprender la evolución de las economías capitalistas en el tiempo y en diferentes contextos se requería una teoría general del ciclo que abarcara las diferentes áreas de la actividad económica, a la que denominó “dinámica económica”. Esta teoría, elaborada entre 1945 y 1949, surgió como crítica de las teorías neoclásica y keynestiana, que Prebisch consideraba representaciones estáticas del capitalismo. Se aplicó primero a una economía cerrada y luego a un contexto de centro-periferia. En ella se combinaba la noción de que los beneficios son la fuerza motriz de la actividad económica, con un proceso de ahorro forzado y la idea de que el desfase temporal entre la circulación de ingresos (y la consiguiente demanda) y la finalización del proceso productivo constituyen la principal fuente de fluctuaciones cíclicas. La teoría dinámica de Prebisch, que nunca llegó a completar, influyó en la elaboración del “Manifiesto” (Prebisch, 1949). PALABRAS

The economics of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean: Paradoxes and challenges of sustainable development

The robust growth of Latin American and Caribbean economies in recent years has led to an improvement in economic and social conditions in the region. It has also had collateral negative effects, however, such as more air pollution in urban areas and a serious deterioration of various natural assets, including non-renewable resources, water resources and forests. There are economies and societies within the region that are highly vulnerable to all sorts of adverse impacts of climate change, and whose production structures and consumption patterns still tend to leave a large carbon footprint. This situation has reached the point of undermining the foundations of the region’s economic buoyancy. Latin America and the Caribbean therefore needs to make the transition in the years to come towards a sustainable form of development that will preserve its economic, social and natural assets for future generations and leave them with a legacy of a more equal, more socially inclusive, low-carbon form of economic growth. Viewed from this standpoint, the climate change challenge is also a sustainable development challenge, and if it is to be addressed successfully, a global consensus that recognizes the asymmetries and paradoxes of the problem will have to be reached..
