Ovulation White Chunky

Of neoliberalism

By: Omar J. Candia Aguilar


The ideas were originally encompassed economic neoliberalism are referred to as background after the Second World War in a region of Europe and North America pursuant to initiative F. Hayek's Mont Pelerin Society (1947). The so-called liberalism, do not come into practice, but until 1979 occupied the Government M. Thatcher in England and in 1980 R. Reagan in North America.

Neoliberalism are as substantial quid "laissez faire, laissez passer" French for "let do, let go," referring to a complete reduction of the state and prevalence market, the same as those embodied in: the reduction of fiscal deficit, exchange rate adjustments, trade liberalization, liberalization of foreign investment, privatization, deregulation, labor flexibility, interest rate liberalization, among others.

hegemony of neoliberal thought was so strong that in the 90's of last century F. Fukuyama said that "human history as a struggle of ideologies is over, with a final world based on liberal democracy that has finally imposed after the end of the Cold War." However, short-sighted away from the successes of neoliberalism, which is expressed growth in Gross Domestic Product and inflation reduction, lies self-destruction of neoliberalism itself in the market. The economic crisis of October 2008, makes clear that the market regulates itself, which require support that only a strong state can provide. The dogma of "market centrism" has resulted in unemployment, underemployment, informality, exclusion, social polarization, the commodification of natural resources, among others.

As we observed the response to neo-liberalism is not uniform, some countries opt for a capitalist postneoliberalism, making some adjustments to the excesses of the market or perhaps choosing to return to Keynesian policies or welfare state, and others, however, opt for a social postneoliberalism what some have called "XI century socialism."

The type of economic model that happens to neoliberalism, has to do directly with the prototype of society we pretend, because that dimension is not only economic but political and economic. The post-neoliberal scenario must overcome the flaws of neoliberalism, and to achieve the humanization of society, the ethical imperative of the appreciation of human dignity, democratic institutions and full respect for human rights. Finally, the post-neoliberalism can not be tracing or copying, but respond to the needs and idiosyncrasies of each society.

High Off Of Benzonatate

postneoliberalism Rethinking the economic model: a brief analysis about the election as Causal

"A successful design must go much further development of wealth accumulation and growth of gross national product and other variables related to income." Amartya SEN

structural adjustment policies of the so-called Washington Consensus that were implemented in Peru from the 90's, contained among others, reducing the fiscal deficit, exchange rate adjustments, liberalization trade and foreign investment, privatization, deregulation and flexibility, protection of property rights, liberalization of interest rates, etc.

The above economic model was not able to combine macro-economic prosperity with social welfare, as can be seen below: (i) in the last 10 years the GDP growth reached 60% and only in the last 5 years, 42.8%; (ii) exports increased from $ 12 616 million in 2005 to $ 35 042 million U.S. dollars in 2010, (iii) average inflation (percentage change) in the year 2009 reached 2.9%, (iv) is counted with 46 mil millones de dólares de reservas internacionales netas. Sin embargo: (i) la pobreza disminuyo 13,9% en 5 años (de 48.7% en el año 2005 a 34.8% en el 2010), la pobreza urbana en el año 2009 se encontraba en el 21,1% y la pobreza rural en 60.3%; (ii) la extrema pobreza disminuyo en 5 años, 5.6% (de 17.1% a 11.5%); (iii) el salario mínimo vital aumento en los últimos 5 años en S/. 50.00 nuevos soles (de S/. 550.00 a S/. 600.00 nuevos soles); (iv) la tasa de analfabetismo en el año 2007, es del 7.1%, siendo en el sector rural de 19.7%; entre otros.

Como podemos observar no existe una relación directamente proporcional entre los indicadores macroeconómicos and social indicators: indeed, it is evident that the less well with the current economic model is the rural sector. Customers also do not enjoy economic booms, are often confronted with a model that prioritizes the mining industry to support the development, over the agricultural or livestock production. Thus, of the 236 conflicts identified by the Ombudsman, 116 are of a socio-environmental.

Nor can we fail to mention the achievements of the model implemented, the same genre macroeconomic growth and deflation. However, an ethical business model should aim a proportional relationship between macroeconomic prosperity with social welfare, establishing policies that will enable inclusion and equity through social investment, to admit reduce illiteracy and improve access and quality of health services and education. Reducing levels of unemployment, underemployment and increasing the percentage of decent work.

The challenge for the new government is to improve the life they lead all Peruvians, the same as measured by social indicators and break with the outdated idea that development is synonymous with economic growth, or rather "understanding the economic growth not as an end in itself but as part of human development.
