la creación de una sociedad del aprendizaje

What is the role of knowledge and learning in a society shaped by countless market policies? Do neoliberal policies truly foster growth and facilitate learning? Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald shed revealing light that invites us to understand the importance of these reflections for political and economic theory. Drawing from Kenneth J. Arrow's 1962 text, Learning by Doing, the authors explain why the production of knowledge is different from that of other goods and why market economies themselves often fail to produce or transmit knowledge efficiently. To understand how countries grow and develop, it is essential to know how they learn, how they become more productive, and what their governments can do to promote learning, given that if anything makes a difference between developed and less developed countries, it is not so much resources or production capacities, but rather gaps in knowledge.
