Most likely to happen is that an agreement is reached to allow Senators save their expectations of re-election and give to Bush's 700 billion ... with which solve nothing, because the solution is not to privatize some failing banks for their immoral leaders, but Bush will try and say that it has generated confidence in the markets ...
Pardon the immodesty of quoting me (but my kind readers and Ambler my readers already have noticed that I am not modest), I do because I like to know what has happened as I predicted (in part ) gave money to Bush. Now it remains to be fulfilled the second part: ... will not solve anything ... for the simple reason that it will steal the money the rich bankers and financiers creators of the crisis.
But let's talk about the root causes of the current global crisis:
The first and most important is our Western world view, white, Judeo Christian, cynical and stupid. We believe that the planet supports it. We can extract the wealth (commodities) indefinitely, without consequences, although the Club of Rome warned us would happen what is happening, is for the 60's of last century. Thomas Robert Malthus (1788 - 1834) warned well in advance that the population tends to exponential growth and food to an arithmetic growth, or that more clear: hunger, people dying of hunger, not only believed him. Closer to us Ernst Friedrich Schumacher (1911-1977) , author of "Small is Beautiful ', warned us of the need to replace the property of Nature.
In my article Paykuna, Pachamama and Ayni I explain in detail, but I make a short summary, in honor of your worldview and Brainwashing you suffer every day and makes you wish for knowledge in pill form.
In our Western world views, the most important person is ME, so is the first pronoun. In the Quechua culture, Andes, it is PAYKUNA, which translates into them, they, those men and women, but that means 'those who went before, those now living and those yet to come in the future' . applied to something practical, if an Amazonian Indian not want to sell the forest is a 'dog in the manger' does not understand the progress, according to the Western worldview. From the Andean world view is absurd and impossible, because there is a decision that corresponds to an I, not even a us ... How to sell ae lost land of my ancestors and my descendants without your approval? The practical result is that if you sell, the trees are cut down and you must learn to breathe about 25% less air because that's what these trees produce the Indians defending their worldview.
The second root cause is, as Alvin Toffler, the pothole that exists between companies and the law. latter are of a century ago, while moving to finance next-generation technologies. Banks, Financial, and all that jungle Bröckers expert and senior financiers move by profit and are not subject to the laws of any country. Their money-real-virtual and are tax havens. Attac can now try and fight because they implement the Tobin Tax (idea of \u200b\u200bJames Tobin, Nobel Prize 1981) , they are far beyond these trifles. Move 95% of world trade and nobody controls them. All trade in goods and services between countries and governments , with its balance of payments including represent only about 5% of all money that moves on this planet. They are playing at Metropol!. It is money that exists only as electronic impulses in cyberspace. Not even represented by paper. BUT THERE AND INFLUENCE AND DETERMINE THE WORLD ECONOMY.
The third root cause is the ENTROPIA , which is a measure of disorder that, as explained Nobel Prize Belgian Ilya Prigogine (1917 - 2003), always increases. disorder always increases, although Stephan Hawking says in his History of Time that statistically may decrease, the possibility is so small that it does not. Only you can bring order (or negative entropy) in a system at the expense of increasing disorder in another system. Would mean that everything we do has a cost that is measured in disarray. It is very easy to get the toothpaste tube, it is almost impossible to place it back. And this is very serious, because even the fact of planting a tree entropy and the disorder it causes can be larger than the order we want. James Lovelock (1919 ->), leading scientists world famous for his Gaia hypothesis, believes it is not possible to reverse the global ecological situation: We have destroyed the planet. The entropy created, generated by the 'American way of life' with the help of neo-liberalism has screwed us .
The fourth root cause (not the least important) Annie Leonard explains in his Story of Stuff to a very simple (and fun) tells us the most important failure of our economic and trading system . Do not explain it, this is his poker video, but I'll summarize in one sentence: In a finite (not infinite) there is a linear system and open. And not have realized at the time of this axiom, is the most important to be condemned to disappear as a species on the face of the Earth. But perhaps, as I said in the first part, you can still save some human groups and start again. I say this because I believe so, not because I'm an incurable optimist.
In the next chapter - and having understood and digested concepts explained in these chapters will offer some ideas to fend off the global crisis and not die trying.
