Paul Krugman o posledicah socialnih razlik
| 13. December 2006 | | Jure
Krugman je za Rolling Stone napisal odličen članek o vse večjih (ameriških) socialnih razlikah, kje iskati vzroke, zakaj to ni dobro in zakaj vam izobrazba ne bo pomagala. Ko je Latinska Amerika model razvoja.
The social and economic failure of Latin America is one of history’s great tragedies. Our southern neighbors started out with natural and human resources at least as favorable for economic development as those in the United States. Yet over the course of the past two centuries, they fell steadily behind. Economic historians such as Kenneth Sokoloff of UCLA think they know why: Latin America got caught in an inequality trap. For historical reasons — the kind of crops they grew, the elitist policies of colonial Spain — Latin American societies started out with much more inequality than the societies of North America. But this inequality persisted, Sokoloff writes, because elites were able to “institutionalize an unequal distribution of political power” and to “use that greater influence to establish rules, laws and other government policies that advantaged members of the elite relative to non-members.”

Če bi bil Sadam namesto socialist kakšen libertarec, bi ga Tomaž Štih verjetno še danes hvalil, tako je Mrkaić nekoč v svojem članku hvalil nekega afriškega diktatorja, ker je ukaze o vodenju ekonomije dobival iz Washingtona, ljudstvo je pa stradalo.
LOL… ko Otto J. Reich govori o demokraciji v latinski ameriki, veš, da se nekomu meša
