Este artículo examina el panorama mundial en el contexto de la pandemia por Covid-19. Aborda ejemplos de distintas medidas que algunos países han tomado para frenar la pandemia y la crisis que la acompaña, y analiza sus resultados en cuanto a contagios y consecuencias económicas. Plantea que para tomar medidas contra la crisis se deben considerar las lecciones de la crisis financiera de 2008, con el fin de no caer en los mismos errores, aminorar sus efectos negativos y obtener mejores resultados a largo plazo.

Esta nota realiza un análisis breve de las propuestas del Informe sobre el Comercio y el Desarrollo 2019, de la Conferencia de la Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD, por sus siglas en inglés), el cual, con base en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible planteados por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) para 2030, reflexiona sobre los desafíos mundiales que obstaculizan el cumplimiento de dichos objetivos.

These immortal lines from Allama Iqbal make me very humble
standing before you today to deliver the Allama Iqbal lecture. Mr
Chairman, Mr President, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, friends
all,. thank you very much for this honour and opportunity to speak to
you on a very difficult subject. I would like to emphasise that, thanks
to Professor Naqvi, this is not the first time I am appearing before the
Pakistan Society of Development Economists, but it certainly is the
first time, thanks to Dr Rashid Amjad, I have been invited to give this
very distinguished lecture. Both men are very distinguished in their own
right; they are people whom I have greatly respected over the years.
Professor Naqvi's contributions, particularly on ethics and economics,
and the challenge of rethinking Islam reminds me of Allama Iqbal's
Reconstruction of Islamic Thought and the relevance of it for the
challenges facing the world today, as highlighted by Professor Saith's
lecture yesterday. The lines from Iqbal that I began with are very
relevant, of course, to the whole question of inequality. I met Dr
Rashid Amjad about three decades ago in the context of his work at the
ILO. Over the decades, he provided sterling leadership in very different
and changing circumstances. In a sense, it is his absence from the ILO
today that is particularly felt because we face a very unique situation
in the world today where, unfortunately, various forces seem to have
successfully conspired to prevent a strong economic recovery. This is
the subject of the lecture I would like to deliver.

There are competing theories to explain the reasons behind the international competitiveness of manufacturing in Asia. Analysing these different theories will bring important lessons, not just for Asia, but for developing economies the world over. This lucid book studies industries and firms in East Asia and examines the major determinants of their economic performance. With contributions from such leading thinkers as Ha-Joon Chang and Rajah Rasiah, the book covers such themes as: *industrial policy and East Asia *Taiwan's information technology industry *The role of the government in technological capability building Manufacturing Competitiveness in Asia touches on many important themes and issues and as such will be of great interest to students, academics and policy-makers involved in industrial economics, international trade and Asian studies.

This article critically explores the roots of the financial crisis of 1997 that tormented the East-Asian region and devalued the currencies and economic power of the second generation newly industrialised countries. It argues that despite the existence of such crisis in the same region in the past, the appropriate response to current problem lies elsewhere. Given that the market, which has become more and more self governing, lacks memory and the capacity to be naturally immuned, the onus is on the actors to elaborate policies to establish the necessary institutions and reconsider and restructure the institutional mechanisms for the management of public affairs.
Je tiens à témoigner ma reconnaissance à Jan Kregel, Al Alim Ibrahim, Din Merican et Warren Bailey pour m'avoir formulé des observations critiques utiles, qui ne les engagent toutefois en aucune façon. Les principales causes et conséquences des récentes crises monétaires et financières en Asie du Sud-Est, surtout en Malaisie, continuent de susciter un débat considérable. Le présent essai se veut polémique, puisqu'il n'existe à l'évidence aucun consensus sur les diverses questions controversées en jeu. Autant que faire se peut, le langage utilisé n'est pas technique, de manière à être accessible à un lectorat aussi vaste que possible. Puisque la situation continue d'évoluer, ces réflexions sont sujettes à révision au fil du temps, des événements et des tendances. Les critiques et suggestions sont donc particulièrement appréciées.

Malaysia's development of bureaucratic capitalism is traced within a review of political developments since independence from GB in 1957. Before 1969, Malaysia was ruled by an alliance of the United Malaya National Organization (UMNO), the Malayan Chinese Assoc, & the Malayan Indian Congress, with the UMNO maintaining a dominant position. After the 1969 elections, the Chinese no longer played an effective role in government; the strengthened UMNO more actively pursued capitalist policies, with the support of Malay politicians educated to serve in the British colonial administration. A "New Economic Policy" has favored Malays in comparison with other groups in its educational & employment programs, with Uc Malays benefiting the most. However, the disproportion between government work opportunities & the increasing numbers of U graduates, & the dissatisfaction of wage laborers, constitute threats to the bureaucratic capitalist government. 2 Tables.
