A reflection that I am thinking of the cry that is rising in these moments:
A new global threat: protectionism.
I do not think protectionism is the evil to be avoided, the other evil! Over the past 200 years we have built the development, welfare and empowerment, but also the rights. Just for us. With wars and revolutions, right and wrong, with blood and sweat with words and attacks behind him ... But in the end we got a world chock full of rights. Enough to make us cry is the best possible world. But just for us. The rest of the world ... them to do their own!
In my opinion, therein lies our weakness. The rights! At a time when we allowed greedy cunning to produce their wealth elsewhere and the same price as if it had been produced by us, that's where our economy has gone down ... lower and lower. Elsewhere, there are no human rights. They have fought for them. They signed the Charter of '48 but, shall not talk about it ... first you need to implant the culture of the law in those countries (no weapons, I recommend). And 'here that this so-called evil of protectionism must take hold. Faced with a company that wants to produce abroad, leaving behind their former workers, the protection must:
1. Legislate in a way that the company should pay to the pension funds of the full amount of the difference between the pay of un'cinese / Bengali / Honduras / Albanian and one of his last European workers sent home. This is for the entire period of the duration of the works abroad. If you fall, cancels the obligation of that payment. A portion of the fund should be paid to the unemployment compensation and social safety nets and various other, if needed, to industries that layoffs leave the company out of business, going away.
2. Requiring the application of human rights and labor into his business abroad, like in "European home". With strict controls on the part of all organizations and individuals to produce proof of reliability or infringement, without the need for any form of permit or legal mandate to exercise control. Penalty notice from the European markets of products of those companies and the withdrawal of passports for the entire management team, from ownership of the chain last directive of European nationalities.
3. Require by law the abolition and destruction and the regime of monopoly or duopoly, wherever it existed. And if you came to know that this law is broken by secret agreements to create a cartel strategy (like the phone or oil or banking), we confiscated the entire property belonging to the owners and persons knowingly involved by the state (sanction for law making and the jail in his underwear, not like today in the world). Mass at auction, excluding any person with a bond with the old owners, must necessarily respond heavily in criminal proceedings.
This in my opinion, is protect yourself. Freedom of choice and respect for all. Around the World. Once the worker without rights, it has rights in their work, once the worker sees our national decrease the risk of losing their future, everyone becomes more free to make their own choices in life. Then we can speak calmly to understand where goes the world (perhaps in another post). We can also say that now we have everything and everything in our lives, even more superfluous than the object we have it. Now, research, industry needs to give us something new. Non-financial products. The soldier must absolutely return to a medium of exchange, investment, temporary support until they reach the return of the proceeds from the markets and nothing more. There. - Outlawing creativity aimed at buying financial debt. The debt must be restored as a temporary status under observation and ready to be rescheduled, not an instrument of domination and pressure on the world.
