De la sección “¿de qué habla este aparato?”. Me hace acordar a los milicos y sus apologistas a durante la primera mitad de los 80 en Argentina.
Un profesor universitario de historia te explica que en materia económica no hay que confundir libertad con libertinaje.
Porque las crisis siempre fueron causadas por excesos de libertad, jamás por las distorsiones de la intervención estatal.

me gusto este comentario a la nota:
ReplyDeleteFor an academic, the analyis is surprisingly (or may be not surprisingly) superficial. Especially the core assumption that the market pre-2008 was "unregulated" is perplexing. As is the assumption that no top-down government meddling in the "free" markets existed.
Of course, this is pure nonsense. Liberal "spread-the-wealth" entitlement policy via Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae -- guaranteeing the bad mortgages that people like ACORN and Obama sued banks for to issue -- acted like a dam creating a reservoir. In which enterprising bankers began to fish with dynamite. It was government that reduced the fatal perception of risk. And it is government now that is prolonging the self-cleaning forces of the market to purge bad assets... protracting a crisis purely for political gain.
After all, the larger the number of votes depending on government-initiated redistribution of private property is, the higher the probability that they will re-elect the people they have been conditioned to depend on.
"Cuando digo "Capitalismo", quiero decir Capitalismo completo, puro, incontrolado, no regulado, laissez-faire. Con una completa separación del Estado y de la economía del mismo modo y por las mismas razones por las que existe separación entre el Estado y la Iglesia."
