The economic crisis that is gripping the West and, consequently, the planet is entering a phase known to occur.
So far there have been only the first signs and symptoms, but those problems I had reported several times in the past on this blog now present the bill. An account will be salty, which will produce traumatic effects and consequences still unknown. The fact is that this crisis is not or related to a cyclical downturn in the economic cycle, this is a structural crisis, a final failure of the ideology of globalization, understood not only from an economic standpoint but also, and much more, in terms of socio-political. This is the end we are living in Utopia, wrong at the root, which supports multiculturalism, the global, multi-ethnicity, the end of the remnants of communist ideology, who wanted the elimination of the state and national borders but also the end of liberalism, that communism is simply the downside but still the same coin, namely the abominable of the errors of rationalism and materialism of the Enlightenment.
The short-term effects will be these: the 2008 record a heavy fall in profits of enterprises, especially medium and small (in Italy are the backbone of the economy and the locomotive of the country), this means less tax revenue, resulting in crash State accounts, the flight of capital abroad by the usual rich that always triumph, rampant unemployment and social misery, heavy with conflicts among the lower classes. In the past, this humus made fertile ground from which to grow anti-democratic coups, dictatorship and wars. What can save us from that day comes?
realism tells me anything! The man has never learned from his mistakes and repeat them over and over, in different circumstances: to detect, simply read the Old Testament books written 25 centuries ago where it seems to read the news today.
Hope tells me instead of reflecting, to follow the path of truth from which spring the directions for the conduct of practical life. By Aquinas that I am, and by adhering to the philosophical and political conviction of Joseph Ratzinger long before he became Benedict XVI, I invite everyone to come out of pretentious nonsense with which the Enlightenment has polluted the mind and stuck to the Spirit, invading every aspect of our existence and by limiting our intelligence to a simple exercise of applying mechanical or utilitarian; invite all to reflect the meaning of things, the Justice to look for and find in every act of life before you do them to give up the profit, or at best, to seek instead the Good.
Unfortunately, at this time, the realism prevails in me the hope, because basically disregard the ability of men and I know the selfishness and blindness that characterized their work. And I fear the outcome dramatic, tragic, that the upheavals in the near future could lead our civilization ...
prophet of doom, like the Bible? Simple rival Cassandra Priam? We'll see. So far, I guess, all with very broad advance, against the advice of the great academics and pundits of various Nobel prizes. Happy to be wrong, if it means avoiding violence and deprivation.
