    La larga depresión : cómo ocurrió, por qué ocurrió y qué ocurrirá a continuación
    • Sin complejos, partiendo de un punto de vista marxista, 'La larga depresión' sostiene que la economía mundial está aún agónicamente inmersa en una gran recesión. Argumentando que la rentabilidad del capital es hoy demasiado baja, y que la deuda acumulada es demasiado alta, Michael Roberts presenta aquí, de forma muy convincente, su teoría de que la recesión actual persistirá hasta que la rentabilidad del capital se restablezca a través de una nueva depresión económica. "'La larga depresión' es un impresionante análisis de la crisis económica global. Reuniendo una amplia variedad de evidencias, Michael Roberts contrargumenta las explicaciones simplistas y superficiales de los comentaristas del 'establishment0 (y de muchos otros economistas 'alternativos') mostrando en su lugar cómo los orígenes de esta crisis están directamente relacionados con el declive del rendimiento capitalista." - Tony Norfield, autor de 'The London and the Global Power of Finance'.

      For three decades, Manolo Blahnik_s shoes have held the fashion world spellbound. His sense of the theatrical wedded to the finest materials and superlative craftsmanship inspire fanatical devotion. Diane Von Furstenberg has more than 80 pairs; Paloma Picasso has been fan since the age of 14; and Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Piaggi and Kate Moss, to name a few, are fellow addicts. Here, collected together for the first time, are over one hundred and twenty exquisite drawings that Blahnik makes at the outset of the design process. These sketches are executed with such exuberance and deftness that they have become as sought-after as the shoes themselves (they often fetch up to £10,000 at charity auctions). Inimitable in style, these drawings, beautifully reproduced in this book with special inks, vividly convey Blahnik_s unique vision.
