Should I Let My Eyebrows Grow Before Waxing?

I really liked this post Martin in Homoeconomicus about attempts to launch a plan of industrial development in Argentina of the 1870s. watering was completed, the same way failed and became extinct at other times sought to industrialize historical, such as import substitution during the First World War or the Pinedo Plan of 1940 . In all these cases, prevailed in favor of free trade areas in Argentina continue to fulfill their role as "granary of the world."

Beyond the objective conditions that might have enabled the industrial development, social and cultural characteristics of the dominant sectors in favor of a behavior is clearly not "entrepreneur." In this article refers to a English economist Luis Olarte published in 1925 in Revista de Occidente, which was cited this year by Horacio Verbitsky and then Carlos Leyba .

"Everywhere you can create wealth, but none with the speed and simplicity of resources in America. And being so easy to create wealth there, it's all men, population of immigrants. Behind They have come so far without delay that it takes to leverage your efforts will: capital, technology. This is how the social tone of the Argentina-optimism, activity, safety in the future, disregard for spending. "

"In Argentina, spent enormous, spends far more than they spend in the same proportion of wealth in European societies. Generally, it is saved. Have many children, living with all the spending possible, boasts of having expensive jewelry, will visit Europe frequently. Everything is done generously, boldly, in the certainty that after everything has to fix, that the country will prosper and will cover, eventually, open gaps credit in the private economy. All this enormous expenditure, the exaggerated level of material life, characteristic of Argentina, are consequences. The first is the difficulty to form a superior culture .(...)"

"also requires its estimates of national independence. Argentina, while their men worked tirelessly to make compared to rising prices, has been resolved so far its cultural problem brokered the technical, industrial instruments and foreign methods. But he has scrounged up all these things at the expense of not doing nation, at the expense of its independence. Efforts have been made foreign engineers, foreign managers, foreign intellectuals, we have tried also foreign capital, foreign machines, foreign transportation. "

" Argentina is a barrage of other industrial countries that value, that subject to dependency and too economically decide their fate; owner of a magnificent land, rich in food and industrial raw materials eagerly demanded that Europe has not felt the need to look comprehensively the national body. As to create superior culture in a country of effort needed to create economic independence, is also needed for a significant proportion of national income . But Argentina, living in the capital and technology and markets of Europe, handed the reins of its economy to Europe, and also has ventured to share the fate of Europe, which is a random luck for the day tomorrow. Perhaps the Argentina need more than just thinking to produce the strong reaction it change its trends. "

" Argentina is a country that has successfully assimilated training and develop prodigiously aspects of modern civilization. His guidance has responded to its geographical and social circumstances, and ideological currents that have dominated European life in the period utility that evolution has taken place in Argentina. European utilitarianism was not, however, but a phase of European culture, and the secret of his success was unprecedented at other stages, much less practice, they discovered the fundamental laws of industrial activity and created the discipline of thinking . It was not possible to adapt to a phase secondary and subordinate to European culture without being spiritual crucibles depending on where that culture was brewing. But as the Spiritual crucibles were not transferable and Europe was limited to give a loan, and imposing certain allegiance, formulas, techniques and industrial items, Argentina was formed with that inevitable dependence. "

" Today Argentina "His intelligent men, at least, has aspirations to better control their body growth and to forge an economy and a superior culture of their own. you concerned about the influence of foreign capital is concerned about the creation of a national industry. In this way is to find several obstacles, the most feared of all the confidence that success creates in the ways of life and experienced, especially when seeking a life grata. "Leyba

As noted, these fragments can also serve warning against excessive optimism about the present time, with China occupying in some sense the ancient site of Europe.

What is certain is that it finishes the lie to the heads of hardened steel Argentina still idealize previous to 1943 (or 1930) and insist on blaming all the ills of the country to Perón and Peronism. As Artemio say, psssssss ...!

Why Does Gb4iphone Say Portrait

sings Because I speak a Peronist


The outbreak of racism, intolerance and xenophobia that ignited much of the Buenos Aires population from Villa Soldati events put a black spot at end of the year. To which one must add the demonstration of irresponsibility, shame, misery, and so on., Etc. Head of Government of Mauritius Macri and sidings, encouraging and using that fear outbreak addition to their political objectives (if everything was an armed operation, which until now was denied, seems to have gone quite well.)

But racism and other ills of our society are not an invention of Macri. Are relatively hidden in times of calm, and jump to the surface to an appropriate stimulus.

Against this background, I noticed a grinding poverty in the majority responses of "Progressivism sanctimonious" to the situation unfolded in Villa Soldati and its consequences, beyond expressions of horror and condemnation of the xenophobic actions of PRO government.

seemed that in this situation, the most reactionary positions enjoyed an overwhelming "victory culture." For what can you say "liberal" to someone who would emerge because he fears the worst reactions to the "dark" will be installed in the back of his house?

occurred to me that the answers to this dilemma was to be sought elsewhere and did not make much sense to look for specific solutions if it was not clear the essential concept that is facing a problem of this type. And for that I turned to the thought of a Latin American leader closely tied with Juan Domingo Perón: General Omar Torrijos. A book edited by Eudeba in 1973 that collected several of his speeches, here's a snippet:


"(...) I ask, simplifying the task of this government in three words: What is our mission? What is our objective? is the same objective, the mission of you, but not in an environment within a community, but within a framework that is border as a backdrop, a whole country. And there we are, gentlemen, because are about convinced that it is impossible to achieve a transformation from top to bottom pressing . If she does not have its base of support at home, in the neighborhood of the community, this transformation can not be guaranteed. And so we are engaged in social infrastructure programs, agrarian reform, development of the Community, leaders discover because a project is as large or as effective as the quality and magnitude of the beings who run it .

And every time we find a boy of those strangers, every time we discover a community leader, every time we discover a man with driving under natural conditions, is an asset that we acquired. is a man who, after being subjected to a process, training, it is returned to the community to transform their thinking. are amazing results in this area are achieved with the mere presence of a man who, with good will, with the necessary knowledge and that love has to put you in the projects and companies that are entrusted, is dedicated to social work.

(...) The Government was struggling for a long time to relocate certain neighborhoods of emergency, but the tactic was not followed correctly. It wanted to force and convince anyone to force another to do what is impossible. And finally comes the moment you remove it, or he kills you. Now we're getting all the surrounding towns to relocate to the city, suburbs or emergency calls, only in the presence of a community leader

.(...) I would like to take the first settlement founded. There would change. Says an old proverb that "honey you take the defendant to prison bars" . The man used to living in such miserable conditions, almost subhuman, that even gets to make love to this mode of existence and look askance at anyone who wants to change their way of life. And you know from experience. We often receive ingratitude of those who, precisely, are receiving the benefit. They are not to blame. His horizon is contained within the four walls of his ranch and there he is happy semi-animal in that life you lead. So look to the leader of Community Development as the man who comes to disturb, to bother a system of life which for them means everything, and it means everything, because they know no more. Agrarian reform is a nice example of how to feel safe, and the presence of a leader has totally changed the mentality of this man.

To us, without further financial assistance, we are finding a huge success, which often takes on characteristics of a miracle.

These days I said a farmer from Hato de Jesus, Veraguas province, which was paid by the Agrarian Reform land. I asked, "Why pay?", And said, "No I know, but when one feels safe, the earth as it produces more and general look, we've harvested fifty thousand handfuls of rice. "slapping is a measure of the peasant, which would be like five hundred quintals is for them an exorbitant amount (...). That is precisely what got the presence of a community leader. I am convinced that if not through such efforts no country is able to change their structure, or break their molds, and indeed, no country could ever make progress. "(...)

course, this is not intended as a panegyric of Torrijos but to recover his thought and conception of social promotion. Beyond the enormous differences between the current reality of Argentina and Panama of his time, demonstrates an attitude absolutely Torrijos Peronist going to the core of social problems: the dignity of man, from below, from their own reality. Without neglecting the criminal aspects and issues of marginalization in general, including the fight against those who profit from misery and needs of others, do not forget where is the root of the problem: the dignity of the individual. And for that no need for progressive theoretical ruminations too deep. With Peronism in its deepest meaning, and plenty enough.

Behind the scenes

and absurd view of the painful events of Villa Soldati, I remembered something I witnessed some years ago (Anibal Ibarra was still the Head of Government of the Autonomous City) and that stuck with me as a lesson in reality. More valuable than long hours of socio-political disquisitions of philosophy, or coffee chats.

was noon and Pueyrredón Avenue to 100, compared Once station, next to the curb had a string of street vendors with their merchandise covered rugs next to one another. All sellers: men, women, young, old, with the same humble appearance and an apparent common origin, Peru.

In it, a gray-haired man with long hair (appearance and accent rather locals) who paced the sidewalk vendors told: "Raise the inspectors coming around." All obeyed the order, and each with its bulge turned the corner of Bartolomé Mitre and there they were, waiting.

Indeed, a few minutes came a municipal truck. He stopped just where they had been sellers, and "coincidentally" the inspectors found a vendor that had not raised their merchandise and was installed on Pueyrredón. An older woman, petite, which obviously was not "fixed" with the "protector." Despite their requests and protests, the inspectors seized him his merchandise, and do not remember if she got into the van. Meanwhile, just around the corner, the gray-haired man with long hair and the vendors who responded to him watching the scene between fun and impatient, waiting for the time the inspectors were so can be reinstalled in the village of Pueyrredón. In no time the inspectors came to look around the corner.

Finally, once the van went all quickly returned to normal. I told him what had happened to a couple of friends who had a room in a gallery in the block, and I replied that I had seen was an everyday thing.

This is a very minor story, no doubt. But one thing to read reports of trafficking or exploitation of immigrants, and quite another to witness live and live how things work.

I could not but remember the gray-haired man long when I read about the actions of characters like this . Or about these allegations .

And tying thread joining this episode Avenue Pueyrredón and what I was seeing these days, I had a deep distrust of abstract liberalism and right-thinking mentality that mourn "the poor" and believe in magic or easy solutions ignoring the background of the case. I also stayed a couple of certainties:
- Racism and xenophobia are not only reprehensible but also signs of stupidity, nothing else is re-victimizes those who are already victims of trafficking and exploitation of their needs and their misery. Except to point out to victims, the intention is to hide and protect those responsible and / or beneficiaries of such situations.
- Faced with the danger of a situation like that particular term, silly confrontations and loss of life, a responsible government (which is not the Autonomous City) would have to act on prevention as soon as possible. For the top, back, side or front of the desperate and needy, there are many sons of bitches getting or waiting to take advantage of the situation. And these are not flag.

While trying to assimilate the tremendous revelations of Wikileaks, I keep remembering the wonderful time lived in the DC Paco Urondo Tuesday. Nor stopped to thank Laura for the invitation, and to all who made the spirit of Cuchi Leguizamon to be forthcoming with his music, his poetry and his genius.

Among these artists was Lorena Astudillo . Here I bring a guest class, with a huayno of Chacho Echenique.
