Un placer participar ayer en esta mesa redonda sobre la economía del franquismo ("Del milagro a la realidad"), donde tratamos temas como el modelo económico, la hacienda, o el trabajo de las mujeres.
Gracias por la invitación, a Margarita Vilar y @50enlibertad.bsky.social
"La economía no es un juego de suma cero. Cada vez que envíen un Whatsapp, agradézcanselo a un joven inmigrante ucraniano sin estudios, a los servicios sociales de San Diego que le proporcionaron una vivienda y a una educación pública que solo le pidió dos facturas de luz para escolarizarlo."

"la productividad ha tenido un peor comportamiento con respecto a otras economías avanzadas durante las últimas tres décadas ... muchas políticas sociales emprendidas por el actual gobierno se sostienen implícitamente sobre la perspectiva de que la productividad tenderá a mejorar."
