Economists have not been clarified


(This article has been published in the newspaper Ultima Hora, Palma de Mallorca, THE VOICE OF ALMER? A, Journal of Tarragona and a dozen other Spanish newspapers)

I read recipes the other day a dozen Nobel laureates in economics to overcome the current crisis. All were contradictory and even antagonistic most of them. If most prestigious economists are not clear of what to do to fix things, why the hell do these politicians have to know with whom deservedly criticized?

Short positions on one side are those who say that you should spend less, but so will slow economic growth, because if we do the bump. On the other, who say they have to keep injecting fuel into the engine of the economy, otherwise the crisis will be worse.

In any case, we are facing the classic dilemma between Guatemala and GuatePeor, past and recent euphoria continued and ongoing growth. And the ironic part is that none of these renowned economists warned then that the cycle was happy to change and we would be debating what is the least bad for a bleak future is predicted.

Many hesitations, doubts and contradictions of the official scholars have fueled further criticism of those who have inevitably begun to live worse than before. But to whom should we protest?: With the government?, Is the opposition?, Are the banks?, Is Obama?, ¿Merkel?, Is the destination?, Do economic cycles ...?

I fear no one, starting with both undocumented economist, explained to us that we should also protest to ourselves for being spendthrifts and fools, and have believed that our life was a continuous bargain had to finance the rest.
