<p>Years before he became renowned as one of the most original social scientists of the twentieth century, Albert O. Hirschman played an active role in the rebuilding of postwar Europe. Between 1946 and 1952, he worked as an economic analyst in the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States, focusing on the reconstruction of Europe and the Marshall Plan. In that capacity, Hirschman wrote a number of reports about European economic policies, the first efforts at intra-European cooperation, and the uncertainties that surrounded the shaping of a new international economic order with the United States at its core.presents a collection of these interrelated reports, which offer incisive firsthand analysis of postwar Europe and give a behind-the-scenes view of American debates on European economic recovery. They feature nuanced and sophisticated discussion of topics such as the postwar “dollar shortage,” U.S.-European relations, and the first steps toward European economic integration. Hirschman provides original and perceptive interpretations of the struggles that European governments faced along their paths toward economic recovery. Throughout, Hirschman’s stylistic gifts and characteristic ways of reasoning are on full display as he highlights the counterintuitive and paradoxical aspects of economic and political processes. Shedding new light on the origins of European economic cooperation, this book provides unparalleled insight into the development of Hirschman’s thinking on economic development and reform.</p>

<p>A lo largo de los últimos dos siglos y medio se produjeron las principales conquistas emancipatorias de la ciudadanía moderna: igualdad ante la ley (siglo XVIII), participación política (siglo XIX) y derechos sociales (siglo XX). Pero a cada una de estas conquistas le siguió una furiosa ola de reacciones conservadoras tan influyentes social y culturalmente como las propias reformas contra las que se levantaban. En este verdadero clásico de las ciencias sociales, Albert O. Hirschman logró identificar y aislar tres tipos de argumentos reaccionarios paradigmáticos (la tesis de la perversidad, la de la futilidad y la del riesgo de todo intento de cambio histórico) que sirven para analizar la lógica con la que piensan y actúan los reaccionarios de cualquier época... también la nuestra.</p>
