Distribution of the revenue in favor of the capital
México. – In December is tended to use to make an inventory of the damages assignment by the political class, the always failure of the green little mouse in the Mexico football, and everything else that by space problems we can not mention. These types of mental exercises are sufficient and necessary. It seemed that the entrepreneurs and merchants are awoken of a peaceable dream they since now are pronounced in favor of that is impelled and strengthened the internal market, because the country can not sustain the economic rickets that it has characterized it by three decades, and in this context is made a cash desk cut of those 30 years that it has been returned a great economic pit, political and social.

2010 has been returned more than what is same. We would see the figures; Mexico grew at a rate annual average of 5.8 percent of 1959 to 1970, something that makes three decades neither is registered. This huge growth was produced by two fundamental reasons: "in the first place, by the active political implementations that encouraged successfully the industrialization, increased the work demand and the real salary of the workers (the industrial sector grew 6.4 percent in annual average of 1939 to 1958, 8.6 percent of 1959 to 1970s); in second by the growth of a urban middle class that was demanding increasingly properties and services and was energizing the industrialization process. In a word, the economic growth experimented by Mexico during these three decades was explained by the growth of the internal market".

In this continuity they do not lack the technocrats that carried a hurried process of opening and economic liberalization, under the untruthful argument in fact that the exports and the foreign investment would generate a rapid growth. "To the protection of the consensus of Washington, the undertaken reforms included economic opening, deregulation of the foreign investment, control of the fiscal deficit, slim fiscally the State and privatizations, elimination of subsidies, reforms the social security and flexibility occupational, as well as salary control to demolish the inflation".

In spite of the Initial success that the new model had in the temporary promotion of the exports and the prices stability, it has not contributed to the growth neither to the welfare. The change of 'line’ implied the loss of the purchasing power that experienced the salary from the decade of the seventy; either the reforms associated with NAFTA had wished impact concerning the salary convergence between Mexico and The States. "In 1980 the manufacturing salary in the country was representing 39 percent of the salary paid in The States; in 2007 only 17 percent, 53 percent less than makes 30 years. In 1990, the Mexican minimal salary, measured in dollars, was representing nine times the salary in China; 15 years after, was reduced to only two times, and now is approximated to one".

The country has been devoted more than three decades in the implementation of the exporting industrial model, built as of productive specialization standards, scarce technological deepening and breakup of the national production, exactly the contrary of the designated countries Bric's. "In the instrumentation of the model applied in Mexico the internal market is part in two: a formal sector linked to exporting growth and informal other without relationship to the market, while, in contrast, the Bric's after the financial crisis of 2008 have been strengthened thanks to its internal market. We have there, alternative two and a good result only ".

The new economic model carried to Mexico to be specialized in the exporting production with not qualified labor, in a word ‘They’re losing’. In facts what the technocrats shattered to the country with its smart theories. Not only they did not grow the remunerations to the work, but, on the contrary, they increased the fees to the capital: in 1994 the salary bulk represented 35.26 percent of the total revenue of our country to descend in 2009 to alone 29.3. In Mexico the entrepreneurial excess represented 61.6 percent of the total revenue in 2009. The foregoing is confirmed with the loss of 75 percent in the purchasing power of the Mexican minimal salary of 1976 to 2010, result in an increase in the prices of 26 percent in annual average, against 21 in the nominal minimal salary.

"In short, the redistribution of the revenue is growing, yes but of the side of the capital and not of the work". Finally we have a brutal loss of the purchasing power not registered in any other national case, represents a real reduction of the welfare of the Mexican families, but also the effective loss of the attaché things demand and services, with the respective investment and employment opportunities. With this space we end the three decades of potential development lag, and if chance other six recovery years, with these current governing without brain.
