group Neoliberalism: Is it an invention or not? Part II

The global economic growth had reached an impasse in mid eighteenth century it had been based on a system of manual labor. The great economic progress occurred with the emergence of capitalism where the Industrial Revolution brought the economy to grow now based on technological advancement. Productivity led to decrease poverty and that people were employed. The alternative before the industrial revolution was an extreme socialism: all were poor and had no hope of improving their standard of living.

socialism began to take hold after the First World War and the great depression of the 30's. The socialist trend was catching on in several countries and eliminated the role of the market in the economy. The State divided the land, intervened in the production areas and increased public spending. This model failed after 70 years. The Agrarian Revolution in China killed 40 million people.

Some members of the Movement break 25 (current members) accuse capitalism to turn everything into a commodity (goods, services, labor force) and reinforces the neoliberal capitalist system commodifying health systems, education, water supply, energy , etc. They say that art religion and culture are restricted to a single space: the market.

The trial of Mr. Enrique Arosemena A.: Should a socialist world? notes that currently 90% of the world would be poor, as it was in 1800 when the Industrial Revolution began to take hold if capitalism had not appeared on the world stage.

do not understand how some people continue to defend a system that failed and condemned humanity to poverty and social backwardness. It is thanks to capitalism (free enterprise system) that today we have many technological innovations and the reason why many small businesses are now great. Capitalism provides many opportunities to improve the standard of living but to grasp them. The principle of redistribution of wealth explicitly violates the freedoms of individuals.

can not defend the indefensible and that the incentives of private enterprise with the State are different. The market is the sole judge of private enterprise and the entrepreneur. If an employer violates a law or cheating must be punished in court to prevent others do the same. There and only there, we can speak of a liberal system in the country. President Correa said that Ecuador is now leaving "big long and sad neoliberal night" when referring to the adoption of any economic or social reform that gives more interference to the State and not the market. I have a fear of the market because they know that there must be efficient and productive.

His rhetoric calls to the old neoliberal politicians and businessmen who have used the state as an instrument to benefit. That is not called neoliberal is called corruption. But they have to give it some marketing to socialism, and evil associated with the ideology that do not share that take push on consumers (citizens). Not only in Ecuador is being felt again return of the old socialist ideas but in most of Latin America. Again it is delaying the progress of peoples. It would not be fair to describe this phenomenon as "the return of the great socialist night long? Socialism itself is fully implemented and its consequences (famine, poverty and dead) are recorded in the history books. It's the same socialist ideology mixed with corruption of governments and political parties that have plunged the country into poverty.

Liberalism has never been applied in the nation and is associated with poor economic and social deployment public policies described as "free market." If there is no rule of law is not liberalism.

How To Put A Floor In A Jon Boat

Neoliberalism: Is it an invention or not? : Part I

is very common to hear President Correa and members of his government to use the term neoliberalism during his speeches, interviews and political rallies. Does not escape from being quoted in the debates of the Constituent National Assembly. Neoliberalism is accused of being the main cause of poverty and inequality in the Ecuadorian society because this system, they say, only generate benefits to the rich and the poor becomes poorer. Is it true? Is neoliberalism really exists? What who is credited with the formulation of this term?

To Enrique Ghersi, the term "neoliberalism" is confusing and of recent origin. He says that is not a myth, but a figure of speech by which seeks to distort the original meaning of the concept and assimilate our ideas to others, whether for the purpose of discrediting them in the political market. One of their sources gives Ghersi confused when exposed to Ludwig von Mises talked about two kinds of liberalism in his philosophical works. Thus, in the "liberalism" is used to designate the Socialists and other hidden enemies of freedom, in the "socialism" to refer to liberalism after the subjective theory of value. The translation from German into English helped this happen and is regarded as "neuen Liberalismus" as "neo-liberalism." It has also been associated with the social market economy to neoliberalism. The creator of this concept, Mueller-Armack, uses the term "neoliberalism" not to qualify for the social market economy as such, but rather to distinguish it from other liberal currents (Mueller-Armack not specify what other current Liberals). In one of the last constitutional reforms made by the assembly system eliminates the social market economy into one that is "social and solidarity." It would be rare, they have believed in the existence of this relationship. But I am inclined to that most removed it because they will not know anything about the market. If there is a market economy there must be another that is a state-run economy. In the 80's, the governments of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher took some measures that promote the free market for their countries out of economic stagnation which had fallen fruit of socialist ideas prevailing in the political, academic and intellectual. This is regarded by the Socialists, as the birth of neoliberalism because it reflects the principles of liberalism as a new Western policy.

Neoliberalism is a word that was invented by enemies of freedom to try to discredit liberalism, and its greatest exponents. Neoliberalism is a derogatory term toward a defender of the free enterprise system.

The original concept is liberalism and all who defend liberalism is considered a liberal. A liberal is defending the supreme value of individual liberties, freedom understood as freedom from coercion.

The enemies of freedom indicate that the Liberals want the freedom to do that they want and get richer at the expense of the needy. But freedom does not mean lawlessness. It is the rule of law is the rule of law that sets out the rules. Thus, they avoid any kind of abuse (physical, mental, economic, legal, etc.). Any member of society. We are free, if we are all obliged to comply.

Liberals believe in a government of limited functions and in a state that does not monopolize all the services and take over strategic sectors of an economy. In the country there has been no real reduction of the state and worse still a rule of law that promotes free market system so you can not talk about that liberalism has been the cause of inequality and poverty.

Mandates versus the Constitution: Who will win? Why

An article in the November 7, 2006, entitled Why a National Constituent Assembly? , noted that there were no guarantees that the assembly would do that to them they saw fit without thoroughly analyzing the consequences for the Ecuadorian economy in the long term. The weight of the preparation of mandates has been so great that it has delayed the timetable for the Assembly to finalize the new constitution in 180 days and was taken 60 days more to achieve its primary objective. But the assembly still stubborn with the mandates for which I am seriously doubting that meet the deadlines in the statute. What is essential for citizens and for the country or the Constitution mandates? The answer is obvious, but the stupidity is beyond reason. The justification of the mandate is "to help President Correa will fly the country towards sustainable development," then because the economy has grown ridiculously and the tendency of accumulated inflation goes to 10%.

In article of November 30, 2007, entitled THE FULL POWERS: a dictatorship disguised , President Correa indicated that all powers exercised indirectly through the Assembly and not far from reality as the president gives the latest rules the game and accept them but have to endure his anger, his insult and disqualification.

Today, journalist Carlos Vera said in his weekly Zero Tolerance that President Correa is not the owner of the change process but simply the leader and not their assessment is wrong. Several leftist groups that you are removing support for the president this reason and the lack of transparency in several important topics, such as: The case of Angostuta, Dayuma, emergency decrees without control, case Seguros Sucre, etc.

Assemblywoman Maria Paula Romo has stated: "President Correa is the sum of many historical accumulated, but the result of the sum is not a change to the accumulation of wealth but poverty, social divisions and more complex . (Do not forget that wealth is not constant over time).

One of the biggest mistakes was not having placed as a condition for being a professional Assemblyman, and so have avoided some delay as the majority of Assembly members have no knowledge of economics, international politics, philosophy, law, history and sciences. It's a shame but the same would happen if I form a board of nuclear physics or dentistry as my contribution would be absolutely null. (I hope the assembly members' salaries are not a perverse incentive for the delay).

Machiavellian vision is that the state is the ultimate end and that end justified any means to achieve it. Central vision is clearer than a year ago and the bill the economy will citizens be high. They refuse to take effective public policy models from other countries that are growing faster than us. There is little time to rectify the assembly and in the short time left to pass laws that Ecuador prosper but the story and the citizens themselves will be his executioners.
