Pero los felices noventa se acabaron bien pronto, antes incluso de que Clinton abandonara l. a. Casa Blanca. los angeles economía entró en recesión y los escándalos empresariales destronaron a los sumos sacerdotes del capitalismo: daba los angeles impresión de que los directivos de algunas empresas se estaban lucrando a expensas de sus accionistas y empleados. l. a. globalización, que tan recientemente se había saludado como el comienzo de un mundo nuevo, también parecía verse con malos ojos. los angeles reunión de l. a. Organización Mundial del Comercio celebrada en Seattle en 1999, que tenía por fin ahondar en l. a. apertura del mundo, acabó en disturbios protagonizados por grupos preocupados por los efectos, a veces devastadores, que los angeles globalización tiene sobre los más pobres. Es necesario arrojar nueva luzsobre lo que ocurrió esos años, acentuando los angeles necesidad de reinterpretarlos. Este libro no se limita a rescribir los angeles historia económica de los noventa: es, en los angeles misma medida, una historia del futuro, del punto en el que los países desarrollados se encuentran en este momento, y de hacia dónde deberían gentle para que l. a. economía mundial llegue a un curso más justo y estable.
