Description
"Este libro parte del convencimiento de que el combate a la corrupción puede ser una política pública real, sin simulaciones; de que podemos aspirar a un Estado de derecho donde la rendición de cuentas forme parte estructural de nuestras instituciones. Sin embargo, dice, el gatopardismo -- aquel acto de cambiar todo para que las cosas sigan igual -- es el obstácula más urgente de derribar. Desde la Colonia y las tropelías de Hernán Cortés, hasta nuestros muy aciagos días de señores de las ligas, casas blancas, estafas maestras y presidentes impresentables, Juan Antonio Cepeda -- especialista en corrupción y Estado de derecho -- reconstruye el rompecabezas histórico, social, político y cultural de la corrupción en México para mostrar cómo hemos sido proclives a perpetuarla. Pero que hayamos privilegiado el gatopardismo por encima de una transformación genuina, nos dice, no significa que estemos condenados a padecerlo por siempre. Gatopardismo mexicano es un ensayo donde convergen de manera magistral el periodismo, la historiagrafía y el análisis político para explicar los orígenes de la corrupción en México, así como su largo trayecto como razón de ser y práctica cotidiana de la vida pública." --,Provided by publisher.
Description
"This book is based on the conviction that the fight against corruption can be a real public policy, without simulations; that we can aspire to a rule of law where accountability is a structural part of our institutions. However, he says, the gatopardismo -- that act of changing everything so that things remain the same -- is the most urgent obstacle to knock down.From the Colony and the outrages of Hernán Cortés, to our very fateful days of lords of the leagues, white houses, master scams and unpresentable presidents, Juan Antonio Cepeda -- a specialist in corruption and the rule of law -- reconstructs the historical, social, political and cultural puzzle of corruption in Mexico to show how we have been inclined to perpetuate it, but that we have privileged gatopardismo above of a genuine transformation, he tells us, does not mean that we are condemned to suffer it forever.Mexican Gatopardismo is an essay where journalism, history and political analysis masterfully converge to explain the origins of corruption in Mexico, as well as its long journey as a raison d'être and daily practice of public life." --,Provided by publisher.
Description
