Description
Hoy en día los problemas más urgentes son fundamentalmente globales. Por ello, si queremos asegurar el futuro del mundo a largo plazo, es necesario emprender una acción concertada a nivel mundial, porque, de hecho, la escala de la historia de la humanidad siempre ha sido global. En Las edades de la globalización, Jeffrey D. Sachs, reconocido economista y experto en desarrollo sostenible, recurre a la historia del mundo para explicar cómo podemos afrontar los desafíos y las oportunidades del siglo xxi. A través de 70.000 años de historia, relata cómo la interacción entre los humanos, la tecnología y la naturaleza ha conformado la globalización. Una historia, la de la globalización, que ha incluido gloriosos logros humanos, crueldades y daños autoinfligidos. Y ha evidenciado la enorme dificultad de progresar en las crisis, lo que nos permite identificar patrones que nos ayudan a entender nuestros dilemas actuales desde una perspectiva diferente. Ahora que nos enfrentamos a fuerzas que no podemos contrarrestar solos, como el cambio climático y la degradación del medio ambiente, Sachs defiende convincentemente que nuestra misión fundamental es aplicar el concepto de desarrollo sostenible, realizando un análisis indispensable para entender los dilemas globales de la actualidad.
