ººº Abstract: It is so big the needing of the countries of the Third World,
so big the misery, that is necessary to think about solutions that could
allow to clarify future actions. However, the responsibility of the
situation of the not developed economies, corresponds first of all to our
leaders, their inability, corruption and lack of creativity. More than a
transformation of the capitalism, we need to look for the structural causes
of its inconsistencies, to be able to design economical policies that bring
us near to the results of the First World. ººº
Cordial greetings,
Partly I agree with Troy Davis in his proposal of leaving the socio-economic
debate for when WP was in function, however, is so big the needing of the
countries of the Third World, so big the misery that, as same as Luisa did,
I cannot avoid the duty of contributing prematurely to the search of
solutions that could allow to clarify future actions. Specially if some of
us believe to have some clarity about it to be shared.
Such clarity is obtained, not necessarily through the knowledge of the
intellect, but through the experiences and frustrations of trying to reach
the system from those not developed economies, which many of our
participants will never be able to evaluate in all their extension, for not
belonging to their living experience.
Some statements of Luisa should be deserved deeply, for example, is not fair
to consider the multilateral organisms of credit like the I.M.F., the World
Bank, as first responsible on the situation of our countries. They don't
have the direct handling of the economies, they impose their conditions to
cooperate, certainly, but the rigidity and severity of such conditions
depends on the result shown by our leaders, therefore they are the first
responsible for the way in which they have managed their own nations.
Certainly, our leaders have not had the capacity to face the challenges of
the management of a country. I believe that all of us we agreed that the
corruption is the evident cause of the prostration of the economies. If the
primary goal, in any level of the whole political spectrum, is the personal
benefit, and also a limitless one, before than the search of real solutions
for the common well-being, we cannot wait much of our ruling class.
Besides this, or perhaps as consequence, neither they have had the necessary
creativity to overcome the obstacles that the socio-economic needs have
requested from them: they have been limited to emulate the macroeconomic
policies learned in the universities of the developed countries, where these
problems are just focused from the perspective of the interests of such
countries. It is necessary to live the experience to have the whole
necessary elements for the search of effective solutions.
Instead of a transformation of the capitalism, as Luisa said, we need an
involution of the system. A search of the structural causes of its
inconsistencies, to be able to design economic policies that accelerate the
attainment of the results reached in the first world.
It is possible then that the defects of globalization could be neutralized
as consequence of it.
That's all for now.
Algove.
