"Como propunha Kindleberger, os Estados Unidos, hoje, arbitram isoladamente o sistema monetário internacional, promovem ativamente a abertura e desregulação das economias nacionais e o livre comércio, têm incentivado a convergência das políticas macroeconômicas, têm atuado pelo menos em parte como last resort lender em todas as crises financeiras e detêm**** um poder incontrastável no plano industrial, tecnológico, militar, financeiro e cultural" (Fiori, 1999:71).**** E no entanto, o capitalismo tem convivido com uma prolongada instabilidade sistêmica que acompanha o novo sistema cambial.

Kindleberger argues that an enlightened hegemon is necessary to allow a reasonably open international trading and financial regime to operate in a world without international government. A necessary precondition for a state to play the role of hegemon is that it disposes of sufficient industrial, military and financial resources to provide the public goods of international lender of last resort and international security, simultaneously reconciling national interests with international stability. This role was played by Great Britain under the Pax Britannica and the gold standard until World War One. The interwar period was one of crisis, with Great Britain being too weak to continue to play this role, and the United States, while possessing the requisite resources, lacked the political will. It was only with the Bretton Woods agreement (1944), the founding of the United Nations, NATO, etc. that the internationalists won out in American foreign policy and established the Pax Americana. With the present financial crisis and the Iraq war we are finally witnessing its demise in a typical pattern of imperial overreach and state bankrupcy. |
