The book Economics, Principles and Applications aims to introduce students to leading the way to think of international economics book itself. In this sense, the work offers the reader a clear and rigorous, the principles of modern economics and presents a set of analytical skills that will serve to interpret both the general international economic situation, such as Argentina, particular. The concepts and basic tools of economics are presented in the work in a logical order, and the fundamental concepts are introduced throughout the text so progressive, that is, the simplest, first, and the development of basic concepts, later. Analysis of the table of contents of this book suggests that this may have a dual use: first, could be used as a reference to an annual course, that is two semesters. Thus chapters 1 to 11 correspond to a course of Microeconomics, and chapters 12 to 23, one of Macroeconomics. In any case, depending on the characteristics of the recipients this book could be used for a semester of economics, although in this case would have to be selective in the treatment of some issues and establish appropriate priorities. Clarity and simplicity are the attributes that characterize this work, without forgetting the necessary rigor. To help the reader to consolidate the ideas developed in addition to the summary of each chapter presents a series of questions for self-assessment exercises and applications. As science and technology have progressed has been showing strange condition our life in which we are not the center of anything. It has taken centuries encyclopedias affixed a cosmological model in which the Earth is not the center of the universe, or the Sun or the Milky Way galaxy, which therefore occupy a remote location. In recent decades underestimated the mythical background of the people as the core of the operating intentions behind the facts. One way to mental and static surface led us to focus on perceptual as trying to interpret the world from mineral resources, energy or power joints. However, these ancient cultures mystical currents are expressed in today's world flowing to the surface, suggesting causality other social events. As an example in this article is cited very briefly, to the Mayan culture, the tension in the area of ancient Persia or the emerging Confucian China as examples of backgrounds that act at the present time, which leads us to intuit latent mythic resonance that somehow retains its original vibration and produces particular attraction. Those who have undergone other end of the world, this year 2012 is one more, but a chill in our back warns that it is one of many. "Time was everything to the Maya, so knowing past events and knowing that time was cyclical, having achieved an advanced knowledge of these cycles and pudiéndolos accurately measure could predict when they would go to again occur," explains Victor Piccininni in The Experience of Time. Each day we wrote new episodes of our history, in the wheel of fate, through millions of computer bits as we get chronic daily on the crisis, the political attitudes or accidents such as drops that are filling the glass to produce the inevitable outcome. "This was linear historical time and mythical time integrated with the circular design in the same sense that today could be very close to a concept evolved that we can call type curve or spiral. But this mythical concept of time was losing strength with the passage of history and development, rise and fall of different civilizations and cultures. Everything and hence also the concept of time, it was outsourced, humans moved away from the deep inner experience of time as something sacred. " In 2012 the voices that speak of the possibility of a 3rd world war are rising and the vortex of the conflict in the heart of Eurasia is the Strait of Hormuz, vital route of the oil trade through which pass about 15 million barrels of oil per day, about a third of the global ocean shipments. The sacred book of the Persians is the Avesta, attributed to Zoroaster, a philosopher who lived in the sixth century. C. The doctrine recognizes a Supreme Being, Ahura Mazda, which is eternal, infinite source of all beauty, generator of equity and justice, without equal. The core of his person left Ormuz and Ahriman, the beginning of everything good and everything bad, respectively. The creation of Ahura Mazda is the antithesis of chaos. The whole universe, including mankind, are involved in this conflict between Order and Chaos. On the other hand there is the concept of Eternal Law (Daena), whose order was revealed to mankind, is the correct order of the universe. Avesta says that the struggle between Ormuzd and Ahriman is to have a showdown, and the victory will be of Hormuz, the principle of good. Significantly, the name "The Great Prophet" that Iran has started military maneuvers this month of February in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. The desire to invade Iran by the U.S. comes from afar. It is estimated that oil reserves are the third largest in the world, with a 5% extraction current world, which would be a great booty to the invaders, but immediate consequences unpredictable. From the outset, if carried out the Iranian threat to close the strait, the already battered U.S. economy would experience a huge jump in oil prices, a fall of 25% of GDP and unemployment as a first estimate dizzying affect 1 million people, according to analyst Mike Brownfield. In these circumstances it is questionable whether this is worth war effort … Or maybe there is another deeper interest in the exploits promoted by the U.S. military. History shows that the trend towards global empire goes up as much for territorial conquest, for the strength to maintain control, such force can not only be military, because at some point people must accept this new empire. Alexander knew taking as a coherer to Greek culture and ancient Constantine when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. But what we see today is very different: an America mired in decadence attackers, whose achievements do not go much beyond putting neon lights in the desert. From this background arises the recollection of us stories and epics in which the armies of evil so foul fighting against the good it shows elusive and complex. As any fool who wants to take heaven by assault the current warriors, blinded by their illusions, make collection of vases and sacred relics of cultures in an attempt to capture what they do not understand, far from virtue that captures what they seek is at the origin and uncertain fate of all mankind. "Who really is troubling the world of 2050 is China," says Professor Director of the Polytechnic University of Madrid Julián Pavón in a series of videos that have reached one million hits on Youtube. "Right now China is preparing a permanent space station on the moon by 2020 in order to extract raw materials, while the U.S. has suspended its moon program. What China is looking at the moon Helio3, fundamental material for nuclear fusion power plants, "says Julián Pavón. It is estimated that in 2050 there will be this type of reactor, fictional technology considered by the West. It is estimated that the moon is one million tons of Helio3, which would endow our planet of immense energy through non-core nuclear fission and therefore clean. The professor looks at the background of the philosophy of Confucius in China's development. "While Mao fought Confucianism, it is recovering now China, have made even a hugely successful film about the life of Confucius. Confucian philosophy speaks of introspection, believes that man is naturally good and that you have to do is meditate to find truth in it, but like Socrates, Confucius was peripatetic, which means that his legacy based on dialogue and, ultimately, in the shared pursuit of truth. " In the famous video, Julián Pavón talks with fascination of the period of the sixth century BC to the fourth "They are extraordinarily rich centuries shaped the philosophical and religious thought of mankind. Sun Tzu wrote the first treatise on military strategy "The Art of War" now being studied in business schools as a basis for business strategy. Sun Tzu was contemporary with Confucius, Lao Tse, Buddha in India, Zoroaster in Persia, Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles or Euripides in the West "continues the professor. Explains J. Pavón that what impressed him was the beginning of Sun Tzu says: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." "And I wondered why, how? I got the answer 2500 years after the text, in a speech called The strategy of the 24 characters, Deng Xiaoping: "Observe calmly, secure your position, facing issues with ease, hiding your abilities and awaits the right time, keep a low profile and never you claim leadership. " "China has been able to turn its business development in financial leadership and is now able to make technological leadership, what leadership means military and space," concludes Julian Pavon. Journalist Rafael Poch also refers to the ancient background of emancipation conference on China's "communism" after his death. "In 1918, Lenin had described as Russian communism," the Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country, "a more developmental and ideological power. Chinese Communism was something more exotic. Consisted and consists in, build a strong and prosperous China over the Da Tong. The "Da Tong" is the Confucian ideal of social cohesion resulting from a prosperous economy and a stable society. For what concerns us here could be defined as a pseudonym for these "Chinese characteristics" that Beijing's leaders always invoked as a kind of wild rhetoric when Westerners claim to teach them. " "As Westerners we break your head trying to understand the" ideological ruptures "between Mao and Deng Xiaoping (the mess that is what" communist "current" capitalist China ", etc.., Etc..), The simple reality is that from the point of view of this definition, from the standpoint of "communism-development strategy" Mao, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao and his successors, various tactics are the same Chinese developmental strategic purpose common to all these generations. They all follow with great consistency and continuity of the path of Chinese communism, as defined above. Mao chose to Soviet communism, for the same reason why Deng decided americanizante market economy, and for the same reason that Hu is now socialdemocratizante and Keynesian "harmonious society", etc..: Because each case these options are seen as most appropriate for "communism-development strategy", "build a strong and prosperous China more social harmony in the Da Tong". That is the Chinese communists, "concluded Rafael Poch. In the West we see only the shadows of this explosion in history. "The chance that suddenly take to complete the process can be either: for example, a Chinese queue peek at the Ural Mountains," Ortega wrote referring to Europe in the rebellion of the masses. In the so-called old Europe dying liberty, equality and fraternity, while in the United States that shooting star loses an American dream that lasted a moment, but leaving behind him a nightmare for millions around the globe. "The dollar is just junk, not worth anything, just have to back its 5,000 nuclear bombs," said Alfredo Jalife Mexican journalist in an interview with Venezuelan TV. "Globalization and geoeconomic BRICS won while the mercantilist China was won by moving to Germany in the first place for exports, while the U.S. has control of disinformation." In the same interview Alfredo Jalife also gives an overview of remote historical background of current events: "They called their attack on Libya Odyssey at dawn in reference to the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer, with the variant that first took money from the Libyan people, who had him on the bench Anglo 137,000 million dollars to finally create chaos on the ground and make the total dispossession. " If in 2011 we have seen new episodes of warlike ferocity with which they have beaten the Arab world, it appears that in 2012 continuing with disinformation campaigns and military in Africa and the Middle East. But from a higher plane, restraining for a time of horror and concern, only the chapters remain to be agonizing for those who have thwarted his attempt to become the global empire, in his desperate attempt to save himself and will only sharpen their decline. Taking away of present events is that we can intuit a path in our history, with stages as special as that referred to the IV-IV centuries BC. But we can not apprehend that we are not fully capture this interplay of simultaneously operating time-time that we realize how far we experience deep time. The word "myth", although recurrent, is ambiguous because of its various meanings. Silo tinged than what is on the historical time (not the mythical time), in an interview with Henry Nassar on 2 January 2000. "The transcendental need for psychosocial conditions implete in human history, this outbreak will affect the time of each person. This is a time of great disturbance, this is a pre-religious ", commented in the same talk. With minor reviews of the ancient legacy we have the famous 2012, but anyone with minimal knowledge of the world situation could claim a hypothesis that describes our world after Saturday 22 December 2012, when the Maya identified as the turning point of great change.
