Who Adjusts?: Domestic Sources of Foreign Economic Policy during the Interwar Years

Se podrÃan decir bastantes cosas de este libro dependiendo el abordaje que se le pretenda dar. Su valor es innegable y la habilidad de Weber de situarse en el centro de distintas discusiones me parece magistral. SÃ es un texto sobre historia y economÃa pero toca aspectos igual de relevantes como la sociologÃa, religiÃ³n, polÃtica, entre otras.

A pesar de que sus mejores ejemplos y argumentos se sitÃºan acerca del mundo europeo, tambiÃ©n se incluye esa categorÃa borrosa llamada oriente. Al hablar de China, India y otras latitudes, se enriquece el anÃ¡lisis, sin embargo, serÃa ingenuo llamarlo completo o preciso.

Entre sus mayores aciertos rescato su esquematizaciÃ³n y su intento racional de captar en la historia no una mera secuencia de eventos. Es un libro imprescindible (tal vez no todo pero ciertas partes) para comprender de mejor manera cÃ³mo es el paso de actividades econÃ³micas y su relaciÃ³n con el resto de las Ã¡reas y los campos.

Por Ãºltimo, creo pertinente advertir que se queda en el siglo XIX. Justo el cierre del texto es donde se aborda la transiciÃ³n a un capitalismo mÃ¡s familiar o conocido por nosotros. Pedirle mÃ¡s constituirÃa un sinsentido.
