OBAMA AND THE CAPITALIST PARADIGM SHIFT



Behind the two-party conflict regarding the approval of the Stimulus Package for Economy amounting to 789,000 million dollars lies an ideological debate that he was buried from years' 90 to planetary scale, but particularly in the developed world: the role of the state in managing the capitalist economy.

In that sense the analysis of the Nobel Prize in Economics 2008, American Paul Krugman are by themselves sufficiently eloquent and representative of a school of thought which had among its leading exponents of the economist John Kenneth Galbraith also. When questioned Barak Obama to stop half-way to compromise with a Republican opposition sector, whose MPs are defending strictly libremercado policies, deregulation and tax cuts for the rich, which is updated Krugman concept of the state as a regulator and guidance in the generation and distribution of wealth .

This attack is effectively a large part of the team Obama's economic formed in the school of economic neoliberalism, but converts today need certain assumptions Keynesians. It is very common today to hear prominent referents the Chicago School of Economics defend public spending and government regulation as "an exceptional measure" to deal with a systemic crisis of capitalism that threatens to be as or more severe than in 1929 unleashed given the high degree of global economic integration, made commonly known as globalization.

One result of globalization is crucial that enabled China, giant socio-competitor of the United States position as the other first-order geopolitical power. But China has a social debt owed to the majority of its inhabitants, and falling exports and slowing its explosive growth put his government in the dilemma of turn to the development of its domestic market, or face a crisis social unpredictable political consequences. The shift to economic protectionism that is hinted at in the U.S. is likely to reinforce this decision.

As shown, this ideological debate and its results, theoretical and mainly practical, will have a and concrete influence in shaping the world during the coming years, at least in two aspects. Will be one of the main beams of the new relations of power between "old powers" and "emerging powers" - the same within each group referred -. also for the countries' second or third order "in global politics and economics, like most African nations, Asian, Latin American and Eastern European : a model for sustainable economic development socially and environmentally that places politics and the state in a lead role in the process of neoliberal paradigm change from the tax on a global scale by the Conservative Revolution.
