Las edades de la globalización

Today the most urgent problems are fundamentally global. Therefore, if we want to ensure the long-term future of the world, it is necessary to undertake concerted action at the global level, because, in fact, the scale of human history has always been global. In The Ages of Globalization, Jeffrey D. Sachs, a renowned economist and expert on sustainable development, draws on world history to explain how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Through 70,000 years of history, he recounts how the interaction between humans, technology and nature has shaped globalization. A history, that of globalization, which has included glorious human achievements, cruelties, and self-harm. And he has shown the enormous difficulty of progressing in crises, which allows us to identify patterns that help us understand our current dilemmas from a different perspective. Now that we are faced with forces that we cannot counteract alone, such as climate change and environmental degradation, Sachs argues convincingly that our fundamental mission is to apply the concept of sustainable development, conducting an analysis essential to understand today's global dilemmas.
