DOES THE ECONOMY HAVE TO BE REBUILDED OR REOPENED?

DOES THE ECONOMY HAVE TO BE REBUILDED OR REOPENED?

The discussion is launched, and not only among “political economists”, from two words that “seem to hide” their true political meaning and that involve those who defend the “immediate opening of the economy” and those who “defend that there take the opportunity to rebuild the economy ”. The reality is that the concept of "reopening" is being connoted with "conservative and neoliberal economists and politicians" and the concept of "rebuilding" is defended by "innovative economists and politicians and defenders of the social state".
 As someone has already said "this is not for fun, in this world in crisis, and if we do nothing the future will be bleak". To avoid it and think about solutions, we must look at the possible worlds contained in the reality we face.
First of all, I must make my declaration of interests known as a former professional and scholar of these social relations, and except for better knowledge and understanding in my opinion the economy does not need to be reopened, it needs to be strategically reconstructed. The discussion of when to reopen the economy, forgive me for the direct language, and as someone has said, “prima facie stupid”. The notion that the economy can be reopened with things quickly returning to normal, whatever it may be, reflects a brand exclusively of “a type of magical thinking”, of all those who by “neoliberal” principles defend the financial system from all costs to the detriment of people. What countries need is to rebuild the economic system, not only to recover from the damage caused by the “pandemic”, but also and essentially to find solutions to the longstanding structural problems in the economy, and not to reopen the economy. As the German philosopher Immanuel Kant said, “any interior reform and any change for the better depends exclusively on the application of our own effort”
We have no doubts that we live in times of great uncertainty and this is very prolonged, uncertainty that arises from the “coronavirus virus” and in its multiple faces and in the forecast of the possibility of new vacancies until a vaccine appears. To date, the only refuge for this uncertainty is scientists and their scientific investigations into this virus, and we hope that they will have a quick response. We must be fully aware that the scientific method requires rigor, confrontation of hypotheses, cross-validation of research, humility at work and ambition in responses. Our expectations are that this research will mark the history of science, make it more open, with faster dissemination of information and greater cooperation and mutual assistance from scientists worldwide, in this world in which we live with the notorious excess of information and but a lot of thinking deficit.
As has always been our position, we refuse to admit the qualification that “we are a country that has no resources”. We have resources, both human and material, and we have to be able to design public policies capable of producing them, creating value, generating wealth and jobs and building a different future. In this sense, the country has to design and put into operation projects anchor capable of preventing collapse and transforming the economy. All of this does not justify, I have already heard some “buzz” from behind that we need large projects for the forest and the interior, they are almost exclusively based on the construction of biomass plants, with the justification and justification for valuing the forest waste, promoting forest cleaning, producing bioenergy, creating jobs and increasing territorial cohesion. It is a strategy with completely opposite effects as we can see in the documentary produced by Michael Moore “Planet of the Humans” in May 2020. There is a reason, among others, for this: we place too much emphasis on our societies on the economy and finances, which are undoubtedly very important. But we must give due attention to Social Sciences such as Sociology, Biology, Epidemiology and Health Sciences and many more. They are vital for thinking about the complexity of the world and being able to identify and anticipate risks. Bombarded continuously by massive information, we have to be able to think and discern the structural trends that mark change. American philosopher Nelson Goodman called attention to "possible worlds that are within the real world". In these crisis situations, more important than predicting the future, that nobody knows what will be, is to look at these possible worlds that are within the dark reality that we live in and find ways to minimize the risks that are placed on us. This is no joke. ” Every day, it seems, brings another indicator of our decline: the nation that can do it has become a land that cannot cope with a pandemic…. How can everything go wrong, so fast? Well, we know the answer. Like Joe Biden
