China is bad - but the there are lot  of countries after it.
U S A is only # 12 !
As in corruption, the best are the Scandinavians. Why ? Liberals! They also need to work for a living...hard work. A winter there is not what I do want to relive...
That makes the honest!

look if your country is in U S A

Trade has some employment implications, but will NOT solve it all...

Is it correct to talk about trade "creating" and "destroying" jobs at all? Imports and exports obviously contribute to a great deal of churning in the labour market. They are responsible for a lot of "gross" job creation and destruction. But are they responsible for net job creation in a country? Economists normally think of trade as a force that reshapes the composition of employment, not its overall level. The level of employment is ultimately determined by aggregate demand, and aggregate demand is determined by whatever the central bank thinks the economy can bear, without jeopardising stable prices. Orders from China is one component of aggregate demand, to be sure. But if China shut up shop, creating a bit of economic slack in its trading partners, their central banks would simply cut ' interest' rates to compensate. Competiveness..  counts as well...




It may take little effort to understand ...but it is the correct way: trade "creating" and "destroying" jobs is NOT  " the " foreign trade issue!

Pope Benedict XVI third encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth), July 2009

Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Animists, etc.

Can a Pope - any Pope - speak to all people? He may try, but it will never work..

Religion speaks to religious people of the same faith. And few religions even try to speak to the rational human...most do to the emotional human...

Thus all analysis is biased with the self reference criteria.

Most credit Adam Smith to be the father of economics...and he was 1st a man of religion, as we know from his other writings. And he evidently did not get it all right in relationship to the equality of income distribution...

But than an other moral code build on Confucius did not get it all balanced either. And here the 3 big monotheistic religions are not part of the underlaying structure...no religion really is relevant here.

Thus I - until a rational word religion is born - think we should listen to the old wisdom: to God what is God's - to Caesar what is Cesar's. Mixing does no one good - it did not in the past nor does it now...and the future is ...future.

2012...el libro que se lo quiere explicar TODO.

mandaron este vídeo y lo voy a compartir. Seria egoísta si no lo haría:


COMPARTIENDO SABIDURÍA

este vídeo anuncia las buenas nuevas del 2012:

EL SECRETO DE ADÁN  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuEQs99Xek

Es propaganda para anunciar la novela que viene... y seguro que se venderá bien.

Pero es de esperar que aun hay personas que saben razonar.

Hace mucho tiempo que sabemos que usamos solo una pequeña parte del celebro...

Y que los Mayas sabían mucho de astros: sol y luna y estaciones...

Y que toda gran religión da esperanza a través del mas allá o mañana...

Así que mantengan los pies en la tierra...y - si les gusta- la cabeza en las nubes.

Si, tenemos capacidades inmensas....reales unas y no tanto otras ... y 2012 no nos dará todo lo que no tenemos aun.
Lo siento si no me consideran OPTIMISTA!

El mas y el menos de Internet

Abajo va un articulo en defensa de la libre apropiación del contenido en Internet.

Como siempre, las cosas no son tan sencillas...

El cine en México ya no es rentable, ya que ANTES que se puedan ver las películas en el cine, se pueden comprar ' pirateadas'  por $ 1 - o así en la calle...

Musica ya no se vende...

Hace un tiempo pasaban un anuncio: la niña muestra su muy buena nota del examen al padre... " Y ¿como lograste eso ?" pregunto.. " igual que tu con los vídeos- lo copie" fue la respuesta de la niña.

Yo NO necesito ese anuncio:  vi muchos trabajos recientes de universitarios...en que  los precios aun estaban en PESETAS ! Ni eso actualizaron... copiaron TODO, incluido la que ya no era valido...

Ya me dirán si eso es educación...

Aquí el otro punto:
