Runciman-Ramos Mexia-Niemeyer - Cao Saravia

In these days of October 2008 from our settlement in the West of the Rio de La Plata, and nearly 62 years behind him, muttering one goes, the event that symbolically, is marking a turning point, with the financial mess Wall Street. And as, in moments of excitement, restless spirits begin to focus their considerations and consistent opinions in this traumatic present. And as Emerson said, "We can only see out what we have inside." And each of those who are rooted to speak, of course they do from their respective worldviews and their arsenal of knowledge relevant. Once again will the positions of the "monetarists" and estructuralcitas. "Of those who give more emphasis to the" technicals "that the" Fundamentals ". And viceversa.La pin list is extensive. Is also subject to debate whether this is worse than the crisis of 30 (which is the same as you crack the 29). And at this point, and from geographical-temporal position above, one (in this case the writer of these lines), known to peek out the issue soon Treaty Roca - Runciman, the intervention of Otto Niemeyer expert in the creation of the Central Bank and other measures that the government's constitutional pseudo Augustine P.

Just adopted to try to give some response to the crisis of 30. Analysis prior to all this very traumatic present, an impression which then brings the ruling class, who had retained their positions of real power, despite the emergence of Irigoyen, who had managed to overthrow in September 1930.Esa ruling class ( "the law", which stigmatize Don Hipólito), was unaware that the First World War, the English empire had begun to decline. They insisted on further inserted into the International Division of Labor, which had the British pound as the standard. In response, the state of things, which emerged after the Treaty of Versailles in 1918, it had spread throughout the world the need for governments to intervene in economic activities, watching all kinds of imbalances that were causing the workings of the economy market, in reality distorted by monopolistic behavior. The most extreme position was obviously that of Soviet Russia. In this climate would emerge German National Socialism, Italian Fascism and some similar schemes. All such events are reflected in the countries of the then not called Latin America.

The same dominant sectors in these countries, which had amassed their fortunes under the "Pax Britannica", failed to apply the benefits of free trade market and pragmatically moved to defend their interests through the creation of state agencies to protect them. "So we were all socialists," says one writer of the time (Vilanova). The mess created at the time (which reminds us so much to what we experienced by this time), led to restructuring, to respond to a multilateral system had collapsed. So the declining England, secured his Commonwealth, through an agreement to strengthen economic and financial ties with its system of colonies, which had not yet been broken, if it ever did). This was protocolized by a Treaty signed in Ottawa. Course, like Argentina, it was not a member of the Comonwealth law, this meant that he stayed out of the alleged advantages of this Treaty. That's why President Justo, sent his vice president, the son of Julio Argentino Roca, to negotiate a treaty with the English. This has been greatly amplified by the thinkers of the "nationalism" in Argentina. But that did not disclose current, is that pragmatism Justo (pointing in all directions, and also initiated actions copied from the New Deal of Roosevelt), he sent Ezequiel Ramos Mexia, Mussolini's Italy, also negotiate Bilateral treaty.

Both initiatives (a well known, another almost unknown), were part of the package of policies to provide responses to the crisis. In this context, the regulatory board created. (Meat, grain, wine, mate.) Corporation was created Meat Producers Argentina). And they began to generate attitudes of Serbian state intervention in public, that would be accelerated, in another political context, from June 1943. And it would create the Central Bank of Argentina, for which the contract is a British expert Sir Otto Niemeyer, who had a disciple who would time: Raúl Prebisch. This creation was the tool that was intended to channel the effects on Argentina's disruption of Wall Street in 1929. These days you will discuss whether or not history repeats itself. Anyone remember the notion of "corsi e ricorsi" Vico, amplified by Croce. Of course now there is room for the concepts of holism, chaos theory, non-linearity. It remains as a backdrop, the broad human behavior is very large but not infinite. And that is invariant in the human condition. Clear that slip into name around Cao Saravia.

What we bring on news of the magnitude of dollars that had to import physical exchange houses, to meet the demand from the Argentine media, who "believe" and the dollar is a safe haven for their assets. We remembered when three decades ago, spoke of silver from the Arabs as a panacea to our ills. Now see to what extent is a myth, "the Argentine silver exterior him." Y or wealthy Argentines added. And until this point to be certain amount of money, a portion of it would be returning to the country where it was generated. We remember these days, it was said, the crisis of the German mark in 1923, where the currency notes were used to paper walls. And all this, which demonstrates the vulnerability of the money (no more than a convention that serves as a common measure of transactions), Caesar reminds us Cao Saravia. Cao Saravia was a businessman with political whims, very close to Peronism, in their times of proscription. It was tough with Martinez de Hoz plan implemented in the self-styled "Process".

He called "Rataplan". That is a plan to rats. Well Cao Saravia, said he had to "change the money." I think it's worth these days, meditating with reference to the names they give rise to this discussion, made flying very pen: Runciman, Niemeyer, Ramos Mexia, Cao Saravia ...
