«Informe Lugano: Cómo preservar el capitalismo en el siglo XXI» is the essay by Susan George, published by Icaria editorial in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
A global working group convened by world leaders analyses how to preserve capitalism. It concludes that the economy is mismanaged and heading for ecological collapse; only extreme therapy would give a comfortable future to the winners of globalisation. Susan George rejects these conclusions and proposes alternatives in the appendix and epilogue.
The 14th edition, with a foreword by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, belongs to the Encuentro collection (Contemporary Analysis).
Recommended for readers of economic and political essays interested in globalisation and the future of capitalism.
Susan George was an American and French political and social scientist, activist and writer on global social justice, Third World poverty, underdevelopment and debt. She was the president of the Transnational Institute, a think-tank located in Amsterdam. She was a fierce critic of the present policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (IBRD) and what she called their 'maldevelopment model'. She similarly criticized the structural reform policies of the Washington Consensus on Third World development. She was of U.S. birth but resided in France, and had dual citizenship since 1994.
