I always wondered if it is true that the explanatory power of the texts has been decreasing over the years or is that the texts today, to be available to all, can not be so manipulated as easily as they were in the past. We currently suffer from this problem because the roots of modern liberal thought, which predominates individualism and reliance on the hand "invisible miracle" of the market, comes from a misinterpretation of Adam Smith Author , which in its publication entitled the riches of nations, the author notes that " individual interest is not the same as antisocial selfishness or ambition "- Book: THE MYTH OF DEVELOPMENT P.98.
is, the individualism that sustains modern capitalism is not the same as the original author says, contrary to what many think, that one must achieve their personal goals by destroying or "stepping" the other. We should not live in a "concrete jungle" as called by many authors to cities, apparently civilized and developed or developing countries, where the situation is even more critical.
Our society is guided under Darwinian rules, referring to the book myth development published by Oswaldo Rivero, wherein the question of the market and its policies issued in a way and quite arbitrary quasi-extinction of some nation-states of the global system is so fast that the comparison with the theory of the origin of species is Darwin ridiculously short, as the extinct species are slow in millions of years.
After pointing out this important difference should be added that Smith, who was a moralist, he believed that self-interest served as an engine for a successful economy, and that's the key, because it says always within a context " social morality "that el mismo autor denominaba “conducta razonable”.
Este metalenguaje es clave para comprender lo que el autor deseaba expresar, cosa muy distinta a lo que se vivimos bajo este sistema draconiano y maximalista. Me sorprende lo que escucho por parte de los “voceros” de este capitalismo neoliberal, periodistas, académicos, seudointelectuales, intelectuales, investigadores sesgados, felipillos, “sabios”, oráculos modernos, videntes pagados, analistas de la nada y por el todo, donde el individualismo del cual se habla no son más que los intereses personales de unos cuantos que producen y ganan gracias al arduo trabajo de la anónima y masificada mano de obra barata of others.
currently no surprise that this situation does not generate even the slightest remorse for the destruction of whole societies, and if this case psychotic and sick is not enough, some shout themselves hoarse in vain for the destruction of the ecosystem or natural health world.
"How stupid!" Should think many "opinion leaders" named by the media polls conducted by a few universities committed to this system and of course contributing to the ruling class and be responsible for neo-liberal thinking extreme.
Soon the world will not, in a literal sense, we do not have opportunities to change this, what we do from our own insignificance and mediocrity, if you decide to be who we are and the gap was so huge and it's complicated close.
And most surprising of all, the strongest claims originate in developed countries ... what a shame.
