Artículo de Wallerstein sobre el iceberg deflacionario y el caracter estructural de la crisis (del sistema mundo):Citarhttp://www.binghamton.edu/fbc/commentaries/archive-2014/370en.htm Commentary No. 370, Feb. 1, 2014 "Panic About World Deflation" Not so long ago, the pundits and the investors saw the "emerging markets" - a euphemism for China, India, Brazil, and some others - as the rescuers of the world-economy. They were the ones that would sustain growth, and therefore capital accumulation, when the United States, the European Union, and Japan were all faltering in their previous and traditional role as the mainstays of the world capitalist system.So it is quite striking when, in the last two weeks of January, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Main St, the Financial Times (FT), Bloomberg, the New York Times (NYT) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) all sound the alarm about the "collapse" of these same emerging markets, worrying in particular about deflation, which might be "contagious." It sounds like barely contained panic to me.First, a word about deflation. A "calm" market is one in which nominal prices do not go down, and only creep up slowly. This enables sellers and buyers to predict with reasonable confidence what decisions are optimal for them. World markets have not been calm in this sense for some while. Many analysts date the decline of such calm from the 2008 turn in U.S. mortgage markets. I myself see the decline of such calm as beginning in the period 1967-1973 and continuing ever since. The market is not calm if there is either significant deflation or significant inflation. These are really the same thing in their impact on real employment figures and therefore on world effective demand for production of all sorts. Whether real world employment goes down for one or the other reason, there is both acute real suffering for the vast majority of the world's population and a vast increase in uncertainty, which tends to freeze further productive investment, which leads to more suffering and more freezing. It is a vicious circle.To be sure, some large capitalists are able to take advantage of the situation through canny financial manipulations involving speculation. Their problem is that they are taking a big gamble - either massive appreciation of their assets or bankruptcy. Still, at the very least these manipulators have a chance to gain massively. The majority of the world's population are fairly sure to lose, often massively.[...]Everyone seems to proffer good advice, sure that it will somehow palliate the situation. Few seem to be ready to admit that global effective demand is the real problem. But one senses that, just below the surface, they understand this. This is why they panic, because then their whole emphasis on "growth" - a cardinal faith - is undermined. In that case, the crisis becomes not cyclical but structural, to which one has to respond not with palliation but with inventing a new system. This is the famous bifurcation in which there are two possible outcomes - one better and one worse than the existing system, one in which we are all involved as players.Saludos

Que al final, lo que tenemos es un reflejo de la mayoría sociológica de esta país, que todo aquel que ha estudiado rudimentos de política y sociología, sabe que un régimen no se sustenta solo por la fuerza o la propaganda -las bayonetas de Tayllerand-, sino porque tiene unas bases sociológicas que lo mantienen, y que al menos son el 20/30% de la población, a estas alturas de la corrida, esas bases siguen mas o menos intactas, para que esto caiga, la cosa se tiene que poner muchisimo mas jodida.
Lo que está sucediendo es que nos están sometiendo a un proceso de *saqueo* CALCADO, a los procesos neoliberales que practicaron con latinoamérica con la excusa de la "crisis de la deuda" desde los 70, 80 y 90
El Rey considera su abdicaciónRajoy cita a la prensa para una importante declaración institucional sobre la Monarquía El presidente del Gobierno, Mariano Rajoy, ha convocado con la máxima urgencia a la prensa para hacer "una declaración institucional" de cuyo alcance no se ha informado oficialmente pero que, de forma instantánea ha desatado especulaciones sobre la posible abdicación del Rey. El Monarca, aquejado por un largo proceso de debilitamiento de su salud, estudia desde hace tiempo la posibilidad de ceder el trono al Príncipe Felipe.Los medios de comunicación están citados a las 10.30 en La Moncloa para conocer el anuncio del jefe del Ejecutivo, aunque fuentes gubernamentales aseguran que no se trata de una remodelación del Gabinete. El Ejecutivo no ha facilitado más información, pero la mera convocatoria, la urgencia y la insistencia de los servicios de Presidencia para reunir a toda la prensa han despertado enormes expectativas sobre el contenido.http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2014/06/02/actualidad/1401697005_470180.html

El rey se larga después de las elecciones uropeas y antes del pseudo referendum de independencia catalán. Más que el porqué de la abdicación me interesa el timing. Por qué ahora?
