Description

El mundo en el que hoy vivimos es el que han ido conformando, principalmente, la ideología liberal y el capitalismo anglosajones. Con la caída de los regímenes comunistas en 1989, el triunfo de la concepción anglosajona del mundo pareció haber vencido a su último oponente. Desde entonces, han sido muchos los intelectuales, politólogos, economistas e historiadores británicos y norteamericanos que, desde sus tribunas globales en periódicos, revistas, universidades, escuelas de negocios y think tanks, han ido construyendo ideologías que apuntalaran dicha concepción con vocación de única alternativa posible. Pankaj Mishra analiza en profundidad ese proceso, iniciado ya durante el Imperio británico y su imposición en los países colonizados. Como afirma en la introducción, «todavía no se ha escrito la historia mundial de las ideologías liberales y la democracia después de 1945 y tampoco una sociología amplia de los intelectuales de Angloamérica. Y eso a pesar de que el mundo que hicieron y deshicieron está entrando en su fase más peligrosa. [...] 'Pero está claro desde hace mucho que la apuesta global por mercados no regulados y las intervenciones militares en su nombre han sido los experimentos ideológicos más ambiciosos de la era moderna. [...]Homo economicus, el sujeto autónomo, racional y portador de derechos de la filosofía liberal se puso a acosar a todas las sociedades con sus fantásticos planes para incrementar la producción y el consumo en todo el mundo. La jerga de la modernidad acuñada en Londres, Nueva York y Washington DC pasó a definir el sentido común de la vida intelectual pública en todos los continentes, alterando de forma radical la manera en que buena parte de la población mundial entendía la sociedad, la economía, la nación, el tiempo y la identidad individual y colectiva».
