The commercial opening

National Opening doors of the indiscriminate trade The commercial opening By: Carlos Damian January 29, 2012 The treasure of Mexico in waters of the Atlantic México. - In the foreigner's diverse means in particular in the British magazine 'The Economist' insistently, one and each other again that Mexico is to enter in a period of important prosperity. Perhaps if we examined the arguments that are managed we could see in that these spokesmen of the supposed Mexican prosperity are founded: first, the cost of the manpower in Mexico is much more reduced that in China. One could add the vicinity that we have with the Empire of the North that is a favorable circumstance for many investors, in definitive the auspices they could not be better. In this line of “prosperity “everything indicates that Mexico will maintain the economic stability of the last years. For our old governors as Jose Lopez Portillo, in those times he declared that we “should administer our wealth". Except for this miscue of the past, and still supposing such declarations like certain, we would have before our eyes an unpublished possibility for the unparalleled country, and it would be worthwhile to discuss some aspects of their eventual consequences and of their effects on the politics and the Mexican society. The American economist, Joseph Stiglitz, professor of the university of Columbia, declared in the last meeting in Davos that Mexico had overcome China in "competitiveness ", and supposing this means that our country could be in a situation of having announced prosperity that the previous governing Calderon, he could never explain appropriately to it, and correctly. Dragon Mart; the Chinese empire in Mexican land The center of economic studies of the private sector (CEESP) it alerted yesterday about the possibility that the project Dragon Mart in Cancun, Mexico is not directed to the Mexican market but rather it is, in fact, an antecedent for triangular the international trade, in order “to create a preferential access to the market of The States", and to use to our country like springboard toward the Empire of the North, taking advantage of the position privileged in the NAFTA. In that case it sustains the organism; “we are in the hall of a loss of productive capacities and trade creation". The CEESP, in front of similar perspective, requested an urgent government investigation, in order to discard the possibility that the one projected storing center, exhibition and distribution of the Chinese industry in our country is a facade of practical disloyal of import, because “we cannot set him the table from the free regional trade to an economy that they don't practice our same principles on the base of a real competition." In the same document the private organism affirms, however that the “free trade, as generator of growth, material progress and well-being of nations, is not a postulate subject to more question". For what one can see, it forgets that the biggest questions to the pattern of commercial lechery imposed by the neoliberalism in most of the countries come pointing out for at least three half a decade the social disasters and the economic dangers that it involves the indiscriminate application and it lacks of critic of such a postulate; the real commercial competition is impossible between economies and societies so disparate and asymmetric as those of The States and Mexico. Perhaps due to that situation from the nineties of last century the national industry was practically annihilated by the inability of competing with the foreign products; another point has come happening with the agricultural production and the financial services, and the country already suffers the negative effects in the commercial sector from the opening to fortiori that the liberal governments prescribe us, beginning with that of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, continued by those of Ernesto Zedillo, Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderon, and now that of Enrique Peña Nieto. Besides to perceptible peacefulness for certain minority sectors, those phenomenons have given place to an extended and deep social drama: the devastation in the Mexican field, in particular the agriculture, growth without limits of the marginally in the cities and an infuriating increment of the social inequalities. The economic benefit for Mexico In Mexico perhaps has not understood each other to exact letter the supposed prosperity, in other words: the saving in the cost of the manpower that so much the investors appreciate, the potential investors like in China, it implies a strict control of the unions, and it should not have the minimum possibility of weakness, because the game of letters collapses. As the previous emanated governments of the PRI, Peña Nieto's government has entered to the strong handling of the unions, it is aware of such a situation, for that that in the bottom of the question, it is glimpsed, with the reformations to the federal law of the work, hardly with weak voices they were objected by workers' circles. In this perspective it is expected that the river brings water and not only noise; certainly the rights of the workers would be affected, and therefore the worsening of the social tensions and it would impact in the fight of classes. That we could risk that this government as the previous of Calderon is making notice the hate toward the less favored social classes of Mexico. In this line of prosperity we would not discard the increment of the delinquency, due to the waste of the society more willing to the expense. We all have as illusion a prosperous country, but not to any price. Although in this economic line we would see to Mexico like the investors' property, not national but foreign, and the imbalance and the injustice would represent the face of our banana country.
