| book description |

Uno de los expertos econÃ³micos mÃ¡s importantes del panorama internacional, disecciona el impacto que el coronavirus ha tenido en el sistema capitalista. La apariciÃ³n de un desconocido virus en China en diciembre de 2019 mereciÃ³ breves y confusos titulares, pues nadie supo prever su posterior conversiÃ³n en pandemia global. En cuestiÃ³n de semanas, la economÃa mundial se detuvo abruptamente: los aviones permanecÃan en tierra, las cadenas de suministro se rompÃan y sectores completos como el turismo reducÃan su actividad a cero. Ni tan siquiera los mercados financieros, tan alÃ©rgicos al riesgo, pudieron preservarse de un colapso econÃ³mico que provocÃ³ la caÃda mÃ¡s rÃ¡pida y fuerte de los mercados de valores desde 1929. De la noche a la maÃ±ana, nuestro mundo cambiÃ³ y 2020 se convirtiÃ³ en un aÃ±o de inflexiÃ³n. El gran cronista de la pasada crisis financiera, el economista Adam Tooze, nos presenta el anÃ¡lisis mejor informado sobre la historia de ese cierre y sobre hacia dÃ³nde nos dirigimos. Gracias a su acceso privilegiado a datos, protagonistas e instituciones se relata, de forma convincente y a veces impactante, cÃ³mo ha repercutido este desafÃo tanto en los grandes centros econÃ³micos mundiales como en los mercados emergentes. Mientras nos aferramos al milagro tecnolÃ³gico y del conocimiento en forma de vacuna, la crisis del coronavirus ha evidenciado nuestra fragilidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the most important economic experts on the international scene dissects the impact that the coronavirus has had on the capitalist system. The appearance of an unknown virus in China in December 2019 received brief and confusing headlines, as no one could foresee its subsequent conversion into a global pandemic. In a matter of weeks, the world economy came to an abrupt halt: planes remained grounded, supply chains broke down, and entire sectors such as tourism reduced their activity to zero. Not even the financial markets, so averse to risk, could be preserved from an economic collapse that caused the fastest and strongest market decline since 1929. Overnight, our world changed and 2020 became a year of inflection. The great chronicler of the past financial crisis, economist Adam Tooze, presents the most informed analysis of the history of this shutdown and where we are headed. Thanks to his privileged access to data, key players, and institutions, he compellingly and sometimes shockingly recounts how this challenge has impacted both major global economic centers and emerging markets. While we cling to the technological and knowledge miracle in the form of a vaccine, the coronavirus crisis has highlighted our fragility.
