• New Referential Utopias

    When the world is facing serious geopolitical and national development traps, when discouragement and despair prevail, when enormous majorities are punished and abandoned to survive as best they can, it is useless to propose restorations. As if, by returning to past responses, it was possible to avoid returning to the circumstances that made possible the recurrent crises, the subjugations, the tremendous disagreements. Today, multipolar geopolitics is emerging, watered with multiple tensions and a global development crucified in an unbridled process of concentration of wealth and decision-making power. These are tremendous challenges that demand new not old answers. It is time …

  • Crime drainage and investment capacity

    The non-core countries beg for investment while, at the same time, suffering from a tremendous criminal drain on their surpluses. If this drainage of resources were closed, countries would greatly increase their capacity to invest from their own sources. Non-core countries face a dilemma that can be resolved politically. On the one hand, they promote the almost indiscriminate arrival of foreign investment by offering all kinds of facilities. At the same time, they tolerate or fail to confront a tremendous criminal drainage of resources that occurs through various mechanisms: (a) Due to tax evasion and elusion practiced by large corporations …

It was a Napoleonic idea, one of the great military maneuvers in history, but one thing was missing: this was not France. Freed from the Bourbons, extraordinarily clumsy in all economic matters, France seemed capable of paying anything.

  • Reflections

    About Building the Identity of Future Populisms Future populisms must come to power with their identity constructed (which does not mean stagnant or definitive) and a common project in the form of “minimum ethical agreements” that allow them to navigate the waters of the coming junctures. Such agreements cannot be so general that they become empty signifiers that can be “filled” by any content such as “equality”, “social justice” or the “defense of national sovereignty”. They must be translated into concrete agreements, such as, for example, the nationalization of the waterway, the position to be taken vis-à-vis the IMF, or …
