Opinion Sur
In complex realities such as the present, forces of diverse nature and magnitude swirl. From geopolitics, the passage to a multipolar world triggers new leaderships and volatile outcomes. Economic dynamics, technological competitiveness, the imposition of operating standards, the demographic course and the military power that overflies the world weigh heavily. Weapons of mass destruction emerge from a lethargy created to deter, to intimidate, after the horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not to be used; risks grow in feverish minds. Geopolitical forces are projected within countries where alienated minorities in greed for unlimited accumulation corner majorities increasingly lagging and punished. It …

The inflationary impact of wealth concentration
The concentration of wealth and decision-making power causes devastating consequences on humanity and the planet, it also generates strong inflationary tensions. That is why anti-inflationary measures end up being ineffective when they are not part of programs aimed at dismantling concentration. Eliminating or significantly reducing inflation is an achievable goal as long as one understands how it originates and reproduces. The inflationary process does not arise by chance in an inexplicable vacuum, but rather it results from impositions that prevail between groups of different power and that need to be removed. The concentration of wealth has devastating effects on the …

Demographics, sociology, and geopolitics: Dimensions of human destiny
Both population growth and economic development in their projections until the end of the century authorize a modest optimism. But human future will be manageable and sustainable as long as we manage to stem the geopolitical disorder before multiple catastrophes strike. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Demographic destiny Every time sociology looks for a firm floor in the figures, it turns to demography. This often happens because figures speak for themselves, but their interpretation and in particular their extrapolation are diverse and open to debate. It all depends on the context. First, the graph about “population explosion” associated with socio-economic development is spectacular. It …

Taiwan, the fuse that would take China and the United States to the edge of the abyss
Geopolitics is tense to the maximum The world is immersed in a nuclear and conventional rearmament, as if leaders of different calibers smell even more blood. Russia and China are getting closer — Xi Jinping spent three days in Moscow last month with Putin — united by mutual interest and horror of the common adversary advancing on remote continents. In Central Europe, the US and partners are encircling Russia: Finland’s recent entry into NATO added 1340 kilometers of border between the Western alliance and Russia, deepening the latter’s clumsy claim to its security. The other region through which the US …

Reflections
About those who are expendable As it could not be otherwise, the cocktail of adjustment, mega devaluation, lower wages, pensions, unemployment, dollarization and other nonsenses point against the most vulnerable, those who for the cold calculation of the Real Power are too much, they are expendable. Sergio Zabalza About losing their place in the world The refugees are caught in between crossfire. To be more exact, at a dead-end alley. They are expelled from their native country but denied entry to any other. They don’t change places; they lose their place in the world. Zygmunt Bauman About longing to be …
