[German] - G/GESCHICHTE - Die Maya: Aufstieg und Kollaps einer Hochkultur

Beeindruckend an den Maya-Pyramiden ist, wie steil sie sind. In Chichén Itzá und Uxmal die Stufen von oben herabzublicken, verursacht leicht ein flaues Gefühl. Was ging in den Menschen vor, als sie damals solche Treppen über das Dach des Dschungels hinaus in den Himmel bauten? Die Pyramidenstufen sind wie ein Sinnbild für die Zivilisation der Maya: ihren steilen Aufstieg, ihren noch steileren Abstieg. Auch andere Hochkulturen brachen zusammen, etwa die bronzezeitlichen Reiche am Mittelmeer – aber es blieben doch Menschen in dem Gebiet, die auf den alten Straßen wanderten, die verfallenden Gebäude bestaunten, die Mythen weitererzählten. Die Maya-Städte hingegen versanken komplett im Dschungel, und sie fielen dem Vergessen anheim, als ob es sie nie gegeben hätte. Alles über den Aufstieg und Kollaps der Hochkultur erfahren Sie in dieser spannenden Ausgabe von G/Geschichte.-

[Spanish] - Sarmiento: El presidente que cambió a la Argentina

¿Qué sabemos de Sarmiento más allá de su obsesión por la educación? Daniel Balmaceda recupera los valores de ese hombre emprendedor, apodado el 'loco', que llegó al poder en medio de una guerra, con la prensa y su propio partido en contra, y que, a pesar de todo, logró convertir a la Argentina en un país atractivo para el mundo. Sarmiento renunció a la masonería antes de asumir, vivió de prestado en casas de parientes y sufrió un grave atentado por parte del mismo bando que propició el asesinato de Urquiza. Cargó con la epidemia de la fiebre amarilla y la mayor tragedia naval de su tiempo. Completó su mandato en medio de una rebelión militar. Lo trataron de borracho, corrupto, inútil y anticonstitucional. Pero el contexto hostil no le impidió expandir los ferrocarriles y el telégrafo, promover la ciencia y la tecnología, impulsar el uso de maquinaria agrícola, concretar el primer censo y fomentar el crecimiento de las economías regionales. Aunque algo arrogante, altanero y soberbio, su inteligencia le permitió adoptar lo mejor del modelo norteamericano que tanto admiraba. Las cartas íntimas a su mujer, amantes y amigos, sus peleas con las maestras norteamericanas, la cuestionada visión del gaucho, la polémica por la supuesta entrega de la Patagonia y el mito de la Casa Rosada son solo algunas de las originales historias que pintan un perfil amplio, a veces ignorado y, sobre todo, cautivador, del presidente que torció el rumbo del país.

The Chile Project: The Story of the Chicago Boys and the Downfall of Neoliberalism

In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the story of how the neoliberal economic model came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric was elected president, vowing that 'If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave.' More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century-but is now on the retreat. In 1955, the United States State Department launched the 'Chile Project' to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile's 'Chicago Boys' implemented the purest neoliberal model for the next seventeen years, undertaking a package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a 'Chilean miracle.' But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo. The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.
