Summary:

This article was originally conceived as an argument against the illusions of the ultra-liberal An^o-Saxon school, which always preaches, with its Victorian morality, that the right way to achieve happiness is via austerity and the free market. Later it became a tribute to Raúl Prebisch, the first Latin American political economist to have a critical view of the dominant economic thinking and to propose a framework for interpreting the "historical situation of the periphery".
