Is there a ”global” economist? A pessimistic note

Abstract

IDENTIFY AND GLOBALIZATION ARE TWO INTERESTING CONCEPTS TO START THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WAY IN WHICH A DEFIANT GLOBAL WORLD MAY INFLUENCE ON AN ECONOMIST. THIS ESSAY DESCRIBES BRIEFLY THE SITUATION IN AMERICA AND IN EUROPE, WITH A SHORT OUTLINE FOR THE CASE OF ARGENTINA, AND CONCLUDES WITH A NON-OPTIMISTIC ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WHETHER A GLOBAL ECONOMIST EXISTS.
