Synopsis

La educación es algo demasiado importante...como para dejarla en manos de los gobiernos.

Periodista cardinal y siempre dispuesto a desafiar las modas políticas del momento con inteligencia y humor, Andrés Oppenheimer demuestra en este libro que mejorar sustancialmente la educación, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación no es tarea imposible. Pero sí tremendamente necesaria. La razón es simple: el XXI será el siglo de la economía del conocimiento. Contrariamente a lo que pregonan presidentes y líderes populistas latinoamericanos, los países que avanzan no son los que venden materias primas ni productos manufacturados básicos, sino los que producen bienes y servicios de mayor valor agregado.

¡Basta de historias! es un agudo viaje periodístico alrededor del mundo, que aporta ideas útiles para trabajar en la principal asignatura pendiente de nuestros países y la única que nos podrá sacar de la mediocridad económica e intelectual en la que vivimos: la educación.

"Este libro sale a la luz en momentos en que buena parte de Latinoamérica está festejando el bicentenario de su independencia. La obsesión con el pasado es un fenómeno característico de la región. Curiosamente, no ocurre lo mismo en China, India y otros países asiáticos y de Europa del Este a pesar de que muchos de ellos tienen historias milenarias. Vale la pena entonces hacernos una serie de preguntas tan pertinentes como políticamente incorrectas: ¿es saludable esta obsesión con la historia? ¿Nos ayuda a prepararnos para el futuro? ¿O, por el contrario, nos distrae de la tarea cada vez más urgente de prepararnos para competir mejor en la economía del conocimiento del siglo XXI?",

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Education is a matter too important to leave it in the hands of the government.
 
Key journalist and someone that is always ready to challenge political trends with intelligence and humor, Andrés Oppenheimer explains that substantially improving education, science, technology, and innovation is not an impossible task, but rather an extremely crucial one. The reason is simple: the 21st century will be one known for knowledge. Contrary to what Latin American populist presidents and leaders preach, the countries that advance the most are not those that sell raw materials or basic manufactured products, but rather those that produce goods and services with higher added value.
 
Enough History! Is a piercing journalistic trip around the world in which Oppenheimer provides useful ideas on how to work on, and improve, the most important issue still pending in our countries, and the only one that can take us out of the economic and intellectual mediocrity in which we live: education.
 
“Having an obsession with the past [in Latin America] is a distinctive to the region. Interestingly, the same is not true in China, India, or other Asian and Eastern European countries even though many of them have ancient histories. It is worthwhile then, to ask ourselves questions that are relevant and even politically incorrect like: is this obsession with history healthy?”
