Il 22 e 23 novembre a Madrid si svolgerà un meeting di studenti dei paesi europei periferici con gli economisti critici Economy 4 YOUTHS Il bel sito dove sono anche altri dettagli è questo: http://www.economy4youth.com/en/. Terrò la relazione di apertura, e debbo dire è una cosa che mi fa assai piacere perché in Spagna, dove non c'è l'effetto soporifero Monti, ji sembra che studenti ed economisti siano assai più avanti in un concreto lavoro collettivo. Qui c'è la presentazione (segue il programma). Se ci sono volontari per la traduzione, di modo da poterla rilanciare sopartutto sui siti dei movimenti giovanili, sono benvenuti. L'Unione Europea, bontà sua, ha fianziato.
LINK e Unione degli studenti hanno aderito e invieranno rappresentanti.
Europe: Fractures, inequality and periphery
The recession is having devastating effects on economical, social,
political and institutional issues. The situation is getting worse
daily, and forecasts for the global economy are bleak. This crisis is
particularly destructive for countries like Spain, Greece, Italy and
Portugal, and others situated in the periphery of Europe, impoverishing
parts of the population, and leaving young people without a present, or a
future.
It has become increasingly evident that the established bases for the
government’s economical policies are proven wrong, while it has also
become clear that a privileged few are taking advantage of this mistake.
For a long time, this has resulted in fomenting strikes, mirroring the
indignation amongst the population, and trying to show their
inconformity, demand for new politics and horizons and above all,
solutions. Many critical economists, committed to social movements, have
started to refute the supposed fundamentals, upon which our daily
politics are based, by formulating alternative proposals.
The group of economists that compose EconoNuestra, want to contribute
with this debate, and so, we have organised for November 22nd and 23rd,
an encounter with other economists from Spain, Italy, Greece and
Portugal, together with citizens concerned about the problem, and
participants of social networks and movements. We have given it the
title “Juventud, periferia económica europea y fractura social”, or,
“Youth, European economic periphery and social division”.
Our main aim is that this encounter leads to an open debate, as well
as to provide constructive criticism of our contemporary economies and
the priorities that should prevail in each country, and moreover, in the
European Union, so as to reach alternative economic politics.
For this occasion, we have prepared a
document named “Los países periféricos en una Europa fracturada” that means “Peripheral countries in a divided Europe”,
with the interest of starting a debate, putting ideas and proposals on
the table that we consider relevant. We would like to invite you to
participate in this initiative, and feel free to let us know all of your
ideas, and your proposals that you think are fundamental and necessary
(aportaciones.manifiesto@economy4youth.com).
