Abstract

Resumen: el objetivo de este artículo es presentar una explicación analítica de la crisis en el mercado hipotecario de Estados Unidos, a partir de la hipótesis de la inestabilidad financiera de Minsky. Se sostiene que esta crisis es consecuencia de un proceso especulativo inmobiliario que alentó a las familias a pedir créditos para comprar vivienda y revenderla a un precio mayor. En este caso, las entidades financieras estuvieron en capacidad de proveer liquidez a las familias que la solicitaban, gracias a las innovaciones financieras que estas instituciones venían realizando desde los anos treinta. Sin embargo, Minsky (1992) sostiene a través de su hipótesis de la inestabilidad financiera, que la innovación en los mercados financieros que caracteriza el capitalismo moderno, lleva consigo la fragilidad misma de estos mercados.
