Ese mismo a\u0026amp;ntilde;o, 2001, China se incorpor\u0026amp;oacute; a la Organizaci\u0026amp;oacute;n Mundial del Comercio, estall\u0026amp;oacute; el caso Enron \u0026amp;mdash;s\u0026amp;iacute;mbolo de la quiebra de un capitalismo fuera de control y premonici\u0026amp;oacute;n del\u003ci\u003e crash\u003c\/i\u003e de Lehman Brothers\u0026amp;mdash; y Washington se retir\u0026amp;oacute; del Tratado sobre Misiles Antibal\u0026amp;iacute;sticos. El declive del imperio estadounidense se pon\u0026amp;iacute;a en marcha y no ha dejado de acelerarse desde entonces, a lo largo y ancho de este loco primer cuarto de siglo. Despu\u0026amp;eacute;s llegaron la Gran Recesi\u0026amp;oacute;n, la crisis del euro, el Brexit, Trump y el ascenso de los populismos, la pandemia y un empacho de conflictos b\u0026amp;eacute;licos que se asemeja a una guerra civil global, en una danza macabra en que Europa es incapaz de abandonar su adicci\u0026amp;oacute;n a trazar l\u0026amp;iacute;neas en la arena.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEn \u003ci\u003eLas invasiones b\u0026amp;aacute;rbaras\u003c\/i\u003e, Claudi P\u0026amp;eacute;rez hace un repaso de los \u0026amp;uacute;ltimos a\u0026amp;ntilde;os de crisis con dos tesis entrelazadas. Una: los b\u0026amp;aacute;rbaros no estaban a las puertas, sino perfectamente instalados en el coraz\u0026amp;oacute;n del sistema, con una extrema derecha aliada con los tecnomagnates que han protagonizado un reflujo reaccionario en la geopol\u0026amp;iacute;tica y la geoeconom\u0026amp;iacute;a. Dos: el pesimismo propio de estos tiempos est\u0026amp;aacute; perfectamente justificado por esta mezcla t\u0026amp;oacute;xica de desorden y descontento, pero el catastrofismo es excesivo; el Apocalipsis casi siempre defrauda a sus profetas. Somos la gente m\u0026amp;aacute;s saludable, rica y longeva de la historia pero, al mismo tiempo, cada vez estamos m\u0026amp;aacute;s asustados: esa es una de las grandes paradojas de nuestro tiempo. Hemos entrado en una nueva era de temor y por delante, adem\u0026amp;aacute;s, el futuro va descubriendo el rostro amenazante de la crisis clim\u0026amp;aacute;tica. Aun as\u0026amp;iacute;, hay que acordarse de Paul Auster: \u0026amp;laquo;Parec\u0026amp;iacute;a que el mundo estaba a punto de acabarse, pero no se acab\u0026amp;oacute;\u0026amp;raquo;.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA story of what has happened in the world since the beginning of the new millennium to understand where we are headed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe catastrophic course of the 21st century begins with 9\/11, the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. That same year, 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization, the Enron scandal erupted\u0026amp;mdash;a symbol of the collapse of runaway capitalism and a harbinger of the Lehman Brothers crash\u0026amp;mdash;and Washington withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The decline of the American Empire was set in motion and has not stopped accelerating since then, throughout this crazy first quarter of a century. Then came the Great Recession, the euro crisis, Brexit, Trump and the rise of populism, the pandemic, and a glut of armed conflicts resembling a global civil war, in a macabre dance in which Europe is unable to shake its addiction to drawing lines in the sand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e The Barbarian Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e, Claudi P\u0026amp;eacute;rez reviews the recent years of crisis through two intertwined theses. One: the barbarians were not at the gates, but firmly entrenched at the heart of the system, with a far-right allied with the tech magnates who have spearheaded a reactionary backlash in geopolitics and geoeconomics. Two: the pessimism characteristic of these times is perfectly justified by this toxic mix of disorder and discontent, but the catastrophism is excessive; the Apocalypse almost always disappoints its prophets. We are the healthiest, wealthiest, and longest-living people in history, but at the same time, we are increasingly afraid: that is one of the great paradoxes of our time. We have entered a new era of fear, and ahead of us, moreover, the future is revealing the menacing face of the climate crisis. Even so, we must remember Paul Auster: \u0026amp;ldquo;It seemed as if the world were about to end, but it didn\u0026amp;rsquo;t.\u0026amp;rdquo;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49741625164003,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9791387904722","price":144.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/79be45eb341a-9791387904722.jpg?v=1789614966","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/las-invasiones-barbaras-the-barbarian-invasions","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
