Does the price stability exist?

Hello readers!

In my opinion, the price stability only exists in the countries that control their economy and in those that control determined type of products. For example, in our country, there are regulations for the price of the bread (1/4 Kg.). Nevertheless, I think that the main part of products have not price regulations. For this reason, the stability of the prices depends on the market, in other words, the price depends on the relation between the demand and the offer. It is possible that the market is stable, but it is not so frequent, the prices fluctuate like the currency, stock-market, etc.

For example, nowadays the petrol has price stability, because the prices are more or less the same day before day. I think that the reason for this fact is the reduction of the consumption and the stability of the production. One year before, this example was not valid, the prices did not decrease, the prices rose because the energy consumption was higher.

I think that some strategic sectors should be protected or should have price stability. For example the houses or the food, that are the main products to live. Nevertheless, in our country and in a lot of other countries around the world, their basic products to live have not stability. It is for this reason that the speculation starts. It happens, for example, with the rise of the price of the cereals in the last years. The non intervention of the State in the market is characteristic of a capitalist culture. As we can read in the text, during the history, a lot of products have incremented their prices; this is the case of the gold in 1980’s.

Nowadays, I think that the price stability does not exist because we have not regulations to protect and to decide the price of all products, mainly in the basic products.

Does the famous crisis move the governments to the autarky?


Hello people!!


In my opinion, in the periods of crisis, the countries should open their borders and demonstrate to the world what the country is able to do. The main reason for doing that is to increase the exportations and the foreign or national consumption of the national products. Each country or company is specialised in a concrete sector, for this reason, they should improve, innovate with new products and mainly look for new market opportunities.


All around the world, each country has their main sector. In the last decades, Japan and Germany are showing that they are specialised in the quality and in the innovation, especially in technological products. China is important for the manufacture sectors, because it has a cheap labour-hand. Ireland is offering to their costumer solid bank guarantees, for this reason, the government is adopting important laws to protect this market and to obtain new costumers, mainly British and Irish savers that have their money abroad. British government is against this market option, but it is doing the same thing in other sectors.


In Spain the main sectors are the construction and the tourism, for this reason, the country should innovate in these sectors, giving to their clients the best; for example, in the tourism, the companies could give more quality to the costumer or offer innovative products. Nevertheless, the country must study new market tendencies and start to be specialised in new sectors, because it is really important to the country to do not depend only on a concrete sector or on a unique found of revenues. It should have more than one sector and found of revenues, because if one sector is damaged, the country will not be in bankruptcy. This is the case of Iceland; its main sector was the banking system, when the crisis started, the clients (mainly the non-Icelanders) withdraw and moved their saves to other banks from abroad. Now, the country is in a bankruptcy.


In one hand, it is normal that companies moved their manufactures or offices around the world. In Spain, companies invested a lot of money in the ’60. Now, the country must be adapted to the opposite thing because companies are going abroad, mainly the industries. For this reason, the government must be flexible and innovate in new sectors, mainly in research and innovation. The crisis is accelerating this process. If countries close their borders, they will lose opportunities abroad and they will lose a lot of cheap options to import products, because a lot of national products could be more expensive than external ones.


In another hand, the international organisms will be against this autarky, mainly for the basis or for the regulations of the International Trade (International Chamber of Commerce). The European Monetary Union, the WCO, WTO, etc. could be organisms against this proposal.


Have a nice day!!

Spain is different. Only different?? Spaniards go home!


Hi guys!

Today, I will speak about the Spanish coat of arms (find up the "theorical coat of arms)". As you know, Spain is a non-democratical country. In a democratically country, people can participate and decide about their future. In that country, the politicians only think in their pocket and not in the population rights, so, if they have to make some reform in the national laws . For example in the education or financial system, where people cannot propose or vote in a referendum, they say that it is not a democratical act. If oppressed Spanish nations like Basc Country or Catalan Countries want to make a referendum to decide about their future, they cannot vote because it is considered ilegal. What can we do? Do we have to take arms? Do we have to start a new battle?

Nowadays, Spain is going to the real position in the world rank. In another words, ten years before, Spanish people and their country started thinking that they were rich people so they started spending money in second residences, third residences, buying luxury cars, televisions, clothes, etc. Nevertheless, with the famous crisis and with the globalization around the world, Spain is fighting to survive in the actual position of the world rank. Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, South Korea, etc. are better situated, they know how to be competitive, Spain doesn't!

Spain depends only on the tourism and construction sector. The big companies are going to be bought by foreign companies, for example ENDESA - ENEL, SEAT - VOLSKAWEN, AIRTEL - VODAFONE, etc. For all these reasons, I present you my proposal of the new Spanish coat of arms:



Once the Spanish Stateless Nations obtain their freedom, the coat of arms will be adapted, this is my propose:


Spaniards go home! Spain great and mortgaged.

So guys!! Have a good night and fight for your rights!!!
