Hay datos que, cuando uno los lee, no deber\u00edan servir para inflar el pecho: deber\u00edan servir para despertarnos. Uno de esos datos est\u00e1 en la Maddison Project Database (MPD 2023), una de las bases m\u00e1s citadas para comparar PIB per c\u00e1pita hist\u00f3rico entre pa\u00edses. Y s\u00ed: en 1950, Rep\u00fablica Dominicana aparece por encima de Corea del Sur en \u201criqueza\u201d medida como PIB per c\u00e1pita.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan esa serie hist\u00f3rica, en 1950 el PIB per c\u00e1pita estimado (en d\u00f3lares internacionales comparables) coloca a Rep\u00fablica Dominicana en ~1,637, mientras que la Rep\u00fablica de Corea (Corea del Sur) ronda los ~998. Dicho simple: en ese corte, el dominicano promedio \u201cproduc\u00eda\u201d m\u00e1s que el coreano promedio.<\/p>\n

Ahora bien, cuidado con el autoenga\u00f1o: ese n\u00famero no significa que aqu\u00ed hubiera prosperidad justa, instituciones sanas o oportunidades para todos. Significa, estrictamente, que en esa m\u00e9trica y en ese a\u00f1o, la econom\u00eda dominicana luce por encima. En 1950, el pa\u00eds estaba bajo el mando de Rafael Le\u00f3nidas Trujillo, quien gobern\u00f3 con control total del Estado y con las sombras que conocemos , aunque con capacidad para imponer orden administrativo y dirigir recursos a su manera.<\/p>\n

\u00bfY por qu\u00e9 Corea del Sur estaba tan abajo en 1950? Porque 1950 no fue \u201cun a\u00f1o m\u00e1s\u201d para Corea: fue el inicio de una tragedia nacional. Ese mismo a\u00f1o estalla la Guerra de Corea (1950\u20131953), una guerra que parti\u00f3 al pa\u00eds y lo dej\u00f3 con cicatrices humanas y econ\u00f3micas profundas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Y aqu\u00ed viene la parte inc\u00f3moda: la historia no premia al que \u201cestaba mejor\u201d una vez; premia al que construye mejor durante d\u00e9cadas.<\/p>\n

Hoy, m\u00e1s de 70 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, Corea del Sur es una potencia tecnol\u00f3gica e industrial, y Rep\u00fablica Dominicana \u2014con avances reales\u2014 sigue lejos de ese nivel. M\u00edralo en un n\u00famero fr\u00edo, actual y directo: PIB per c\u00e1pita 2024 (Banco Mundial): Corea del Sur ~US$36,238.6 vs Rep\u00fablica Dominicana ~US$10,875.7.<\/p>\n

Corea no lleg\u00f3 ah\u00ed por magia, ni por \u201cdestino asi\u00e1tico\u201d, ni porque un d\u00eda amanecieron genios. Llegaron por una combinaci\u00f3n feroz de educaci\u00f3n disciplinada, industrializaci\u00f3n orientada a exportaci\u00f3n, ciencia y tecnolog\u00eda como religi\u00f3n de Estado, y una cultura nacional que convirti\u00f3 la productividad en orgullo. Mientras tanto, nosotros muchas veces hemos convertido la \u201cviveza\u201d en filosof\u00eda, el corto plazo en estrategia y la improvisaci\u00f3n en identidad.<\/p>\n

Entonces, el dato de 1950 no es para decir \u201c\u00a1ves! nosotros \u00e9ramos m\u00e1s ricos\u201d. Es para preguntarnos, sin maquillaje: \u00bfqu\u00e9 hicimos con el tiempo? \u00bfEn qu\u00e9 momento dejamos que el futuro se nos fuera volando mientras otros lo planificaban con obsesi\u00f3n?<\/p>\n

La comparaci\u00f3n no es para humillarnos; es para empujarnos. Porque si una naci\u00f3n devastada por guerra pudo reinventarse hasta convertirse en referencia mundial, nosotros tambi\u00e9n podemos \u2014pero solo si tomamos decisiones que duelen: elevar calidad educativa de verdad, blindar instituciones, premiar productividad, apoyar innovaci\u00f3n, y dejar de vivir \u201cresolviendo\u201d para empezar a construir.<\/p>\n

La historia ya habl\u00f3. Ahora falta que hablemos los dominicanos \u2026 con hechos.<\/p>\n
