Abstract

El retorno a la lectura de los autores clásicos hace posible una amplia interpretación de la crisis subprime. En Marx se identifica el origen de las crisis, pero también de la globalización, en las contradicciones de la acumulación, particularmente la financiera. Keynes, y después Minsky, contribuyen a valorar la función de las finanzas en la determinación del empleo y las inestabilidades macroeconómicas. Wicksell destaca la función de las tasas de interés en la génesis de las fases de expansión y de impulso; mientras que el modelo de Von Neumann permite detectar las burbujas especulativas en Internet y el mercado inmobiliario estadounidense. A su vez, Schumpeter vincula innovación y acceso al crédito como la fuente de las fases de expansión, y posteriomente del vuelco drástico de la coyuntura. Para Fisher, la reabsorción del exceso de endeudamiento que conduce a la crisis puede desembocar en una depresión asociada con una deflación. Estos fenómenos, en el caso de la crisis iniciada en septiembre de 2008, proveen una interpretación caleidoscópica y, finalmente, ésta sería más hayekiana que keynesiana.
