Abstract
En los últimos cuarenta años los bancos centrales han ganado un peso enorme en las
economías capitalistas. Al mismo tiempo, su forma de actuar y las justificaciones ideológicas para
esas actuaciones han sufrido transformaciones muy profundas. Este texto intenta recorrer la
transformación de los bancos centrales desde la época del keynesianismo clásico, pasando por el
neoliberalismo y monetarismo, hasta llegar a nuestra situación presente de crisis permanente y
financiación monetaria en la sombra. Al hacerlo se busca un objetivo doble. Por una parte, criticar
y profundizar más allá de los relatos más simplistas sobre el papel de los bancos centrales en la
economía. Por otra parte, tratar de identificar las contradicciones y ventanas de intervención
política en esta coyuntura, en la que se abre por primera vez en décadas una posibilidad real de
transformación de la sociedad.
In the last forty years, central banks have gained enormous importance in all capitalist economies. At the same time, their actions and the ideological justifications for those actions have undergone profound transformations. This essay attempts to trace the transformation of central banks from the era of classical Keynesianism, through neoliberalism and monetarism, to our present situation of permanent crisis and shadow monetary financing. In doing so, the aim is twofold. On the one hand, to criticize and move beyond the most simplistic accounts of the role of central banks in the economy. On the other hand, to try to identify the contradictions and windows of opportunity for political intervention at this conjuncture, when for the first time in decades a real possibility of societal transformation is opening up.
