Abstract
Marshall, los Webb y Schumpeter, tres grandes nombres de la historia del pensamiento económico, viajaron a Estados Unidos en distintos momentos de la llamada Época Dorada del capitalismo, entre comienzos del último tercio del siglo XIX y la Gran Guerra. Este periodo coincidió con la fase de ascenso de Estados Unidos al indiscutible liderazgo conómico internacional, tras una rápida e intensa transformación desde una sociedad aún esencialmente agraria y rural a otra industrial y urbana. Marshall visitó Estados Unidos en 1875, los Webb en 1898, y Schumpeter en 1913. Los tres descubrieron una nueva realidad económica que contrastaba con la vieja Europa, pero las diferencias de percepción fueron notables, tanto porque visitaron el país en tres momentos distintos de su rápido proceso de transformación, como porque contemplaron la novedosa realidad que se les presentaba desde tres miradas bien dispares.
Marshall, Schumpeter, and the Webbs, three great names in the history of economic thought, traveled to the United States at different times of the so-called Golden Age of capitalism, between the beginning of the last third of the nineteenth century and the Great War. This period coincided with the ascent of the United States to the undisputed world economic leadership. Marshall visited the young country in 1875, the Webbs in 1898, and Schumpeter in 1913. The three discovered a new economic reality that contrasted with the old Europe, but the differences in perception were remarkable, because they visited the country in three different times of its rapid and intense process of transformation from an agrarian and rural society to an industrial and urban one, and also because they watched this new economic reality from very disparate looks.
