Obama-protectionism/proteccionismo

Oppenheimer warns against the protectionist temptation barely avoided by the stimulus package that Obama’s administration just issued. Even after washed down, the "Buy American" provision raised the surprice advantage for an American provider over his foreign competitors in public inversions from 6% to 25%. A global spread of retaliation measures still looms on the horizon in a resemblance of the protectionist war of the thirties which (according Oppenheimer)  brought the long lasting recession. In any case, the free-trade party is over.

Oppenheimer advierte contra la tentación proteccionista apenas eludida por el paquete de estímulo recién emitido por el gobierno de Obama. Incluso después de diluída, la cláusula de "Compre Americano" aumentó la ventaja de sobreprecio de un proveedor norteamericano sobre sus competidores extranjeros en inversiones públicas del 6% al 25%. Un reguero de medidas de reciprocidad amenaza en el horizonte, perfilando la guerra proteccionista de los ‘30 que (según Oppenheimer) causó la larga recesión. En cualquier caso, la fiesta librecambista terminó.
