El proyecto progresista como ruta hacia la prosperidad
Los gobiernos de Brasil y España defienden un modelo de gestión económica que funciona y que construye sociedades más justas y prósperas
The progressive project stands as a pathway to prosperity, despite a zombie idea persistently resurrected despite being proven false: that right-wing governments are good for the economy, while left-wing ones are doomed to inefficiency. The root of this misconception lies in a narrow view of economics that overlooks the various dimensions of sustainability or the distribution of growth.
Neoliberal experiences in numerous countries have led to larger public deficits, deepening inequalities, recurrent crises, and more fragile economies. Left-wing governments have often been the ones to restore fiscal order, a task left weakened by right-wing administrations. However, a segment of the left has fallen into the trap of handing over to the right the banner of growth, fiscal sustainability, and inflation control, even though evidence showed they defended these better.
This has weakened their credibility among citizens who simply want to work, start businesses, and improve their lives.
