Tra conservazione e innovazione: la Banca Mondiale e la modificazione del concetto di sviluppo, 1946–1981

2004

Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale si è a lungo ritenuto che la crescita economica fosse uno strumento sufficiente a migliorare in un ragionevole lasso di tempo le condizioni di vita delle popolazioni dei paesi in via di sviluppo.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta divenne però evidente che la crescita economica non coinvolgeva tutti gli strati delle popolazioni di un paese, spesso escludendo dal processo gli strati più poveri. La crescita economica non implicava necessariamente un adeguato sviluppo dei sistemi sociali e politici dei paesi interessati. La Banca M…

Spanish banking system restructuring after the crisis and the solvency in financial institutions. Consequences for savings banks

2013

La crisis financiera que ha afectado a todo el mundo ha tenido una incidencia especial en España. Las cajas de ahorros, que llevan más de 100 años desarrollando su gestión financiera, han desaparecido, por lo menos tal como venían desarrollando su actividad. Esta caída ha sido motivada por las políticas marcadas por el Banco de España, el Ministerio de Economía y el Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria (FROB) para salvar el sistema financiero español.

The World Bank’s Early Reflections on Development: A Development Institution or a Bank?

2009

Until the late 1960s, the World Bank presented itself as an institution devoted to making sound and directly productive project loans. Yet, during its very early years, some discussions developed inside the Bank regarding the possibility of issuing different types of loans, namely (i) loans aimed at tackling social issues ("social loans"), and (ii) loans aimed at providing foreigncurrency to address disequilibria in the balance of payments ("impact loans"). This paper brings together historical analysis and theories of organization development to study the housing issue as a case in point. The analysis reveals that the Bank was unwilling to lend for housing programs not because these were n…
