Prophecy
In the magazine The Weekly Spain, Atenti year: 15 November 1998 , writer Arturo Perez-Reverte wrote the following (emphasis mine):
World Amos
You do not know, but depends on them. You do not know or the cross in his life, but those sons of bitches in their hands, in the electronic, the enter key on the computer, their future and their children.
You do not know which side they have, but it is they who are going to send the strike on behalf of a three point seven, or a probability index of zero point zero four.
You have nothing to do with those dudes because an employee of a hardware or cashier Pryca *, and they studied at Harvard and did a Masters in Tokyo, or vice versa, are in the morning to the London Stock Exchange or Wall Street, and say things like English long- term capital management, and talk of hedge funds, multilateral investment agreements and economic neoliberalism wild, as he says Sunday's game.
You do not know or painting, but those leads suicide by circulating a hundred hours in a van loaded with money will hit him when you least expect , and did not even have the consolation of going into a wheelchair with a cut to volarles eggs, because they have public face, despite being renowned analysts, financial sharks, renowned experts in other people's money. As experts who always end up doing yours. Because whenever they win, they win, and never lose them, when they lose.
not create wealth, but speculate. Lavish combinations into the world of financial economics that have nothing to do with the productive economy. Boost house of cards and guaranteed with illusions and smoke, and the mighty of the land lost by them suck up the ass and get on the bandwagon. This can not fail, they say. Nobody here is going to lose. The risk is mínimo.Los guarantee Economics Nobel awards, prestigious financial journalists, international groups With years of recognized solvency.
And then the president of such trans-European bank, and the president of the union of Swiss banks and the bank capitoste Latin American and Asian / European consortium, and the mother who bore them all, happily embark on the adventure, chip put into a tube, and then sit around waiting for the pitch that will cover even all of them and their constituents.
And as the first operation goes well and they are risking more in the second, that the bargain is the bargain, and interest of a gazillion percent are not everyday. And although this mirage speculator has nothing to do with the real economy, with daily life of people in the street, everything is euphoria, and pats on the back, and even banks undertake official foreign exchange reserves. And this, gentlemen, is clover.
And suddenly it does not. Suddenly it turns out that the invention had its failures, and high risk it was not a phrase but exactly that: real risk.
And then the whole shebang is going to take the sack. And those special funds, dangerous, who increasingly have more weight in the global economy, showing its black side. And then, oh, wonder!, While the benefits were for sharks that controlled the roost and for speculating with other people's money, is that losses not. Losses, the financial bite, the payment of such errors pijolandios playing with the international economy as if they were playing Monopoly, fall directly on the backs of us all.
It turns out that while the benefit was private, the errors are collective, and the losses have to socialize , resorting to emergency measures and salvation funds to avoid domino effects of Bernarda boobs ** . And this solidarity, essential to save the global stability, pay with your skin, your savings, and sometimes their jobs, Mariano Pérez Sánchez, a professional employee of Trade, and the millions of unhappy Marian that throughout the world get up every day at six in the morning to earn a living.
That's what comes, I fear . No hard to forgive the foreign debt of poor countries, but there will always be funds to plug holes and rogue speculators who play Russian roulette from somebody else. So males can be moored. That is the view that the masters of the world economy we are in store, with the story of economic neoliberalism and so much shit, so much speculation and so little shame.
Arturo Perez-Reverte
* Chain of hypermarkets in Spain, no longer exists with that brand. **
very pure expression, eloquent and full of hilarious effect. The chichi sex is female, Bernarda I have no taste.
Cenci said
gaucho
foresaw all this just a writer, even Marxist He foresaw all ten years ago! Saving funds, the ripple effects, and of course: who would pay.
Because that's the case. Everything is very sterile and technical, until it comes to steaks.
And economic analysts?
is that the economy is a science , Monona.
actually more than a science is a religion. First you have to accept a fixed and most sacred tenets, which are expressed in very complicated Latin word made but can be summarized as follows: "The policy does not interfere" with what? With our policy, of course. Only we from our own do not call "policy," we call "science" See how easy?
And what does this strange science of theology? Says this: "Giladam êrogâtum est", ie: pay the fools.
Repeat this endlessly, in every way possible. And so one day, grasshopper, spend level.
Goodnight.
