"Other political and other values \u200b\u200bto overcome the crisis"
After two years of a crisis that has created millions of unemployed and has caused the number of hungry and undernourished in the world reach a new record, well clear the causes of this serious situation. Leave
full freedom to finance capital markets and allow regulators are the only economic relations only leads, as we are finding, the continuing instability, a shortage of financial resources to create jobs and wealth and recurring crises.
also been shown that the lack of surveillance and even the complicity of the authorities and the powerful who control the money and finance, that is, the lack of genuine democracy, only produce disorder, and constantly granting privileges Far from promoting the economies, leads to disaster. Let
banks engaged in full freedom artificially increase debt in order to win more money is what has caused this latest crisis.
But is evidence that neoliberal policies based on lower wages and the presence of state social spending and progressive taxation to favor capital gains have led to growing inequality. And the vast accumulation of profits of a few, rather than the effect spillover touting the Liberals, has fueled the housing and financial speculation has turned into a real world economy and irrational casino.
And it is clear that these triggers of the crisis are not just about economic mechanisms, but with politics increasingly controlled markets for power in the service of the privileged and the dominance of greed and the profit motive as the only ethical impulse want to impose on the rest of the world's largest owners and billionaire financiers.
why the economic climate crisis is primarily a political and cultural crisis ecosystem.
neoliberal financial practices that have caused was justified by the predominance of cultural values \u200b\u200bmarked by loneliness, selfish individualism, commercial degradation of the concepts of happiness and success, irresponsible consumption, the loss of human consciousness of compassion and the discrediting of the illusions and collective responsibilities.
Discussions arose
on this crisis shows that in Western democracies has established a dangerous confrontation between the economic and the political illusion. Supporters of the market as the sole regulator of history think that the state should be limited to allow individuals to act without hindrance, forgetting that among them there is great inequality of capabilities, resources and opportunities. Why deny public capacity to manage the economy in clear spaces, and to promote fiscal balances and social solidarity. And so discredit the practice of politics.
But politics should not be confused with corruption, sectarianism complicit in the humiliation and economic powers. Policy in the democratic tradition is the role of citizens to the development of its existence and its future. Words such as dialogue, engagement, awareness, delivery, legality, public good and are much closer to the real politics that unfortunately other words common in everyday life: corruption, tax haven, black money, profit, corruption, opacity and scandal . As this crisis is political, and cultural, must emerge from this crisis claiming the importance of politics, education and culture. We can not confuse the true sense and scientific diagnostic interested in perpetuating the neoliberal model and its financial recipes. Now it is a priority to find a progressive response to the crisis.
To avoid new crisis in the future must be fought first against all forms of inequality. And it is necessary to ensure decent work to provide men and women and adequate wages, and respect for labor rights as a foundation for sustainable economic growth.
It is also essential to carry out fiscal reforms that ensure equity, solidarity tax, not offshore or privileges for millionaires, and the major contribution of the haves, for the State to increase its benefits and act as a powerful driver of economic activity.
Facing the ecological damage of speculative greed, a progressive response is to review the legal frameworks in order to allow greater protection of our ecosystem and provide sufficient incentives to promote sustainable production and consumption.
Facing a production model based on financial and real estate speculation and consideration that our resources are unlimited, a progressive response is to invest more in education, research and professional qualifications.
Given the discrediting
politics, a progressive response is to return authority to the public spaces and citizen representatives to govern on behalf of the common interest of market strategies.
face of misogyny and gender discrimination, a progressive response is reinforcing the policies of equality, defending the right to reproduce and specific measures to prevent women being relegated to unemployment or the economy and support many more hours of unpaid work than men, and suffer a much greater extent that these effects of the crisis.
address racism and xenophobia, a progressive response of defending the rights of foreign workers and ensure respect for the dignity legal persons.
face of social isolation, poverty and selfishness, a progressive response is to bet on the cultural values \u200b\u200bof solidarity, which are not outdated utopian ideals, but the best example of civic dignity of human feelings.
