.... IF YOU WANT TO BE. I'M BACK

As more or less, in Uruguay, things remain the same, ie there is no relevant news excelsa (the latter is the brainchild of "legalize" the illegal cuidacoches) as well as covered by other blogs to comment, I decided to discuss other issues in the world.

The idea of \u200b\u200bthis post is to undertake a look at what is happening in the world and not have to be conflicts, catastrophes or excesses of any political leader. There are other events that marvel at the magnitude of themselves and by the progress we can make in humanity. The comment they then would have us believe that man is the same height as the gods. Is something to be considered one of the wonders of this world.

For professional reasons, and although I had read something earlier about the project, I had the opportunity to learn a little more about the project known as "The Palm Trilogy" . This project is carried out in Dubai, tiny city-state located in the Persian Gulf and part of what is known as the United Arab Emirates.

This country is known, one of the few but truly the only Arab country "western" where businesses come before religion. For example the use of the bikini is permitted. It is also known for having the only 7 star hotel (Burj Al Arab ) and be building the tallest skyscraper in the world (Burj Dubai ), which is expected to reach about 808 meters unlikely.

The project "The Palm Trilogy" consists of the construction of the three largest artificial islands in the world, Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira. This is probably the most ambitious and most controversial in the world has now ... .. Not only are controversial building projects that comments to be made in Rocha.

In 2015, when the project is already finished, Palm Jumeirah will have only 60 luxury hotels, over 4,000 villas, 5,000 apartments, 12-way highways, shopping on the size equivalent to 50 football stadiums , the first ski resorts in the Middle East, etc. Palm Jebel Ali, 1,060 houseboats are built along 12 kilometers, as seen from space, is said to be able to read (in Arabic of course) the following poem ... " Be wise as the wise, not all the riders are princes ".

This tiny country that until 4 or 5 decades was pure desert inhabited by nomadic tribes and fishermen, contrary to what one might think initially, it depends on oil (only representing 7% of GNP) as if they do other components of the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Sharjah), but depends on luxury tourism, free zones have attracted high-tech companies and the media as IBM, Reuters, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft and CNN and being an important financial center in the region.

is comforting to see how Arab countries where there is left behind "Talibanism" towards the pursuit of wealth, quality of life and progress of its inhabitants. They say that the main motto of the Prince of Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is ... " Money is like water, holding tight making odor, but if left flow stays fresh."
therefore, is that the prince is almost revered among its citizens and it is impossible to hear complaints in Dubai. The people are optimistic about the future and entrepreneurship because it knows that the goal is to let the money flow like water does not stagnate, nor the luxury end, and so the glory will be for everyone. And that is why I say that all are welcome in Dubai.

Almost exactly like Uruguay ... ... do not you think?.
The moral of this case, is that besides money, it is important to do things, we must have political will, have a vision of where the country has to move and that is best for the population of that country. Forgetting of prejudice, revenge, outdated ideas and political ideology, and why not?, Forgetting partners or associates also failed adventure.
would be good that the government of Mr. Vasquez, the governing Uruguayan society and take notice.

Pen Handwriting Recognition

BETWEEN YOU WANT THE FREE MARKET SOCIALIST CHINA.

is curious, seeing as the alleged Western democratic societies, and clearly put his finger pointing to Uruguay, there is growing discontent with the free market, is accused of this being the great creator of all evils facing society and seek false messiah that promise a better life in this supposed paradise called .... XXI century socialism.
What is even more curious to see how in those societies, those who lived under socialist regimes, where everything belonged to everyone, nothing was nobody and no one was ... allegedly ... more than anyone, believe free trade and globalization is the salvation to their problems and the only way to survive in this world.

I transcribe below an interesting article by James A. Dorn, which develops this theme using the example of China.

China and capitalism.

According to a survey conducted GlobeScan in 2005 in 20 countries, the Chinese are the most believe that the market economy is the best system for the future of the world. No less that 74% of Chinese respondents opted for this response (and 71% of Americans, 43% of Russians, 36% of French). This is a surprising result, especially if we consider that, until 1979, China was the government who took each and every economic decision.

The sympathies of the Chinese by capitalism are also reflected in a study conducted last year by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs: 87% of respondents believed then that globalization was beneficial to his country, especially as he had of increased interconnection of different national economies. The Americans who claimed the same thing were only 60%, and only 54% of Indians.

not surprising that the Chinese support globalization because it has enabled China to open the world grow at advancing rapidly and substantially reduce poverty levels (each year leave the misery million Chinese). To broaden horizons and increase opportunities for people, globalization has pushed for the Communist Party give the green light to privatization and allow the market to function, all of which have positively impacted in civil society.

Today, the Chinese can own their homes, run your own business and seek employment in the private sector. All this was impossible and unthinkable in the days of autarky and central planning. Today, the Shanghai high school students studying in their textbooks globalization and economic reforms without having to deal with Mao.

Globalization has benefited China and the global economy. Although the changes have affected millions of Chinese workers, the Chicago Council survey reflected that 65% of Chinese respondents believed that international trade is beneficial to the job security of workers. This opinion was shared by only 30% of Americans.

Obviously, the purpose of trade is not to protect anyone's job, but to create wealth. And now the world is richer than it was a couple of decades. Trade liberalization, the information revolution and financial integration have been combined with pro-market reforms to ensure China and the rest of the world a splendid future.

One of the lessons they have learned the Chinese is that, in combating poverty, it is preferable to introduce the relevant institutional changes that receive foreign aid or abandoned interventionism. Not many decades ago, poverty was concentrated in Asia, not Africa. Today, things have changed substantially ... for Asians, and foreign aid has failed to improve the lives of the poorest Africans.

China has made much progress, but much still needs to be a market economy. It should expand the scope of property rights, increase transparency in its judicial system and allow the free flow of information. It should also make the yuan a fully convertible currency.

of little use to open the Communist Party of the capitalists and to amend the Constitution to provide protection to private property if justice is not independent. On the other hand, there is no free market without people equally free So China must also acquire political freedom. So, to put it soon, the challenge for China is to acquire a rule of law.
