In an era of globalisation, issues of language diversity have economic and political implications. Transnational labour mobility, trade, social inclusion of migrants, democracy in multilingual countries, and companies' international competitiveness all have a linguistic dimension; yet economists in general do not include language as a variable in their research. This volume demonstrates that the application of rigorous economic theories and research methods to issues of language policy yields valuable insights.

Este libro reúne cuatro trabajos de don Silvio Zavala, que giran en torno a uno de los temas más controvertidos y particulares de la historia de México: la castellanización de los indígenas, que a su vez, incide en otro tema no menos controvertido, el de las políticas del lenguaje. Con agudeza y meticulosidad, el autor traspasa el tiempo y observa que desde el siglo XVI existe un problema que aún hoy en día no parece encontrar salida coherente para una nación unificada. La unidad, la identidad, la nacionalidad, el plurilingüismo son los finos hilos que se entretejen en una compleja red de posturas contradictorias y oscilantes entre dos polos: el español o lenguas indígenas. Vieja polémica esta que paradójicamente se urde mucho tiempo antes del encuentro de dos lenguas imperiales: el náhuatl y el español; y que después se reproduce en nuevos moldes surgidos de la vecindad del español con el inglés.
