Beyond Dominique Strauss-kahn Scandal: What Matters. (And an Ad)

I knew that Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a toady since endangering stability and economic reform in Romania for the sake of his political game in France. I did not know Ted Kennedy is a type cad, U.S. senator and emblematic figure of American democracy. Sure, DSK had no time left to be embraced as a legendary figure. Teddy’s death, the killer of Chappaquiddick, the inventor of the “waitress sandwich” (”Put a waitress between two senators …”) and so on, but that has not been beatified. Which demonstrates that the Western Left does not matter what you do in private life and do not mind if you’re a brute, or a sexual psychopath as long as you have said quite publicly saying the logical and moral necessity of redistribution of taxpayers’ money to favorite causes leftists.

It remains only so that the feminist movement – very quick and efficient in defending a Bill Clinton or Obama whenever he put a woman in one way or another favorite in jeopardy – to pull him to shore on the DSK. And given the recent performance of this movement, there is no doubt that the DSK is in good hands. Leave them in their payment. We have other problems and see them.

Grade irrelevance

What has direct implications for us all DSK scandal? None. Indirect implications? We can certainly imagine a chain of events that would take as a starting point of the adventures of a State or another international financial elite and the obdurate endpoint negative developments for the Romanian economy. We can imagine. But currently it seems unlikely scenario. If you choose the dust of Greece, if you fall or if the European economy and if the global crisis is all in conjunction or separately, leading to the fall of the Romanian economy, this will not be because the IMF is going through a moment of confusion or as one of the countless political stratosphere egomani the global financial populeza would be irreplaceable. Others will be deciding factors. So the comment “that the economists’ DSK’s problems is a waste of time.

We comment on anything. For example we can take the DSK as a symbol of Sassy, ​​aggressiveness and imposture Ocident new ruling class products in recent decades. With careerism, or $ 20,000 with its costumes, its hotel rooms to $ 3,000 per night, and all the attitude that everything is due, it can be seen as typical of the new financial elite, the Western media and policy-mediocre careerist, selfish, without self-control and imposter – devoid of any leadership, just when Western civilization needs more need real leadership.

But not here to judge that. If we want to discuss things from an economic perspective, we fix its attention on another aspect of the political class and media financiaro. For the real issue is not morality or social behavior of this class, however they may be detestable. The real issue is the economy a vision, a vision that pushes the entire West into a blind alley. The rest, rape, state and private financial engineering, arrogance, abuse is only a minor footnote to this issue. DSK, as a symbol of class and a human type, is a reminder that conteza pretex to first and foremost.

What really conteza

If economically speaking, no matter DSK and its tribulations in the big scheme of things, what matters? I said: It matters a vision for the economy as radiography prevent and treat structural problems of the Western economy.A vision that dominates much of political, financial and media. They dominate not only because they came to believe deeply in it but because it serves very well and interests. Explain.

For more than half a century, a significant proportion and influence of Western political and economic decision makers share the assumption that symbolic economy-money, credit, debt and the economy JEL-are essentially commodities, production, saving, work is “the wave of reality.” These tangible things, writes a great thinker of the last century (goods, production, employment) are seen as “driven by monetary events: the supply of currency, credit, interest level, etc.. Goods, services, production, productivity, demand, employment and prices ultimately are all dependent variables in the events taking place in the macroeconomic dynamics of monetary symbols.

A good part of western elites came to be so convinced that it can generate prosperity and stability by controlling money and credit. And this control is the key to social control. Belief in question turned into social organizing principle. Certainly the relationship between on the one hand, the “real economy” of goods, services, labor and on the other, “economy of symbols” of money and credit has been constantly targeted by the rulers and “financial engineering” of all times. It’s not something found in the second half of the 20th century. What is new is the degree to which in the last 50-60 years many westerners have come to believe in the quasi-magical ability to resolve symbolic economy of the real economy. The degree to which “financial engineering” has come to be the alpha and omega of economic strategy is incredible.

Saying they understand why our elites are so dear is that theory and vision.Why is it so hard to break it. It not only tells them that almost everything can be solved by manipulating monetary, credit and tax but it also says that her superior beings, tehnocaratii symbolic system, are called to direct the economy going to control the camera buttons. Prestige and power associated with the symbolic economy reached unexpected heights. At the beginning of capitalism to be a producer, inventor, entrepreneur, engineer, thinker, builder and first demanded the ultimate respect. Today as producer, provider, worker, entrepreneur, thinker’s nothing compared with being involved in handling flows symbolic economy. Trimful social and financial engineers is hard to contest.
