Las edades de la globalización

A Foundational Work to Guide Our Future

Today's most pressing problems are fundamentally global. Therefore, if we want to secure the long-term future of the world, concerted action at a global level is necessary, because, in fact, the scale of human history has always been global.

In The Ages of Globalization, Jeffrey D. Sachs, renowned economist and expert in sustainable development, draws on world history to explain how we can face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Through 70,000 years of history, he recounts how the interaction between humans, technology, and nature has shaped globalization. A history, that of globalization, which has included glorious human achievements, cruelties, and self-inflicted harm. And it has demonstrated the enormous difficulty of making progress in crises, allowing us to identify patterns that help us understand our current dilemmas from a different perspective.

Now that we face forces we cannot counteract alone, such as climate change and environmental degradation, Sachs convincingly argues that our fundamental mission is to apply the concept of sustainable development, providing an indispensable analysis for understanding today's global dilemmas.
