A propósito de Naomi Klein
Reseña Hace más de treinta años, el escritor de izquierda Eduardo Galeano comenzaba su tristemente célebre libro Las venas abiertas de América Latina diciendo que "la división internacional del trabajo consiste en que unos países se especializan en ganar y otros en perder" (1) . Fue una frase rotunda que con el tiempo permitiría designar a una ideología nefasta, el tercermundismo, cuya creencia básica consiste en sostener que unos países son ricos a causa de que otros son pobres, entendiendo la riqueza, no como algo que puede ser generado a través del esfuerzo, la iniciativa individual y el conocimiento racional sino como un botín que cambia de manos según diversos momentos de la historia.
“In Venezuela Chavez has made the co-ops a top political priority, giving them first refusal on government contracts and offering them economic incentives to trade with one another. By 2006, there were roughly 100,000 co-operatives in the country, employing more than 700,000 workers. Many are pieces of state infrastructure – toll booths, highway maintenance, health clinics – handed over to the communities to run. It’s a reverse of the logic of government outsourcing – rather than auctioning off pieces of the state to large corporations and losing democratic control, the people who use the resources are given the power to manage them, creating, at least in theory, both jobs and more responsive public services. Chavez’s many critics have derided these initiatives as handouts and unfair subsidies, of course.
Naomi Klein Quotes (Author of The Shock Doctrine)
There is degraded production in the Age of the Superbrand. The products are made in the factory but the brands are made in our minds. Machines wear out. Cars rust. People die. But what lives on are the BRANDS.
