Opinion

Normally I only public news without personal opinions, but today I wanted to comment on the economic situation in Argentina, especially referring to inflation.

By definition, inflation is the general rise of prices throughout the economy, not what at least I can see.

As for an example, while some retailers up their prices indiscriminately, the more typical case is that of vegetables, other retailers maintain the same price forever.

It is well known that in the case of vegetables, the sale price of a kilo of any product is at least equal to the price of the box.

That is, if a small business, is financially able to maintain selling prices, a few blocks from the large hypermarkets in general who are increasing their prices, means that Hypermarkets, taking advantage of its dominant position, not only reduce their costs by buying in bulk, but also benefit from a price increase without justification relying exclusively on inflation expectations.

For clarity, I can assure you all, but most of the price increases have only support in inflationary expectations rather than an actual increase in costs.

Is this the reason that since the government is trying to curb inflationary expectations and do not change economic policies, which generally tend to maintain economic stability despite global financial turbulence.

It is very sad for me to see some of my compatriots trying to destabilize a democratically elected government, supported by the lack of economic knowledge that is ordinary citizens, citing false economic theories, or arguing only complaints that far from providing the solutions that claim, further confuse the public fueling inflationary expectations are very dangerous for any economy of any country, developed or not.

These pundits, often very famous, but very few real successes, seems to not understand that their comments are fueling a vicious machinery of impoverishment and marginalization that eventually will reach them somehow.

They act as if they lived, not just another country but another planet, off the streets, shops, hospitals, etc.. They seem to think that when they leave their luxury cars to dinner at fancy restaurants too, anything that can cause touch.

A small example, if poverty that generate sparks a epidemic of dengue in the head who can enter the insect transmits the disease is going to ask what their economic status before chopping.

Another example, if the waiter who serves you at your luxurious restaurant, contracted a communicable disease as aerial, product of the poor conditions of living, how can these "gentlemen" to prevent the approach to take the order of contagion?

In closing, the attitude taken by these 'gentlemen', far from seeming appropriate or decent looks more like the words of a madman who does not notice the damage that his actions could cause, or mercenaries under the orders of robber barons who can not look beyond the immediate economic benefits, although the medium to long term representing his own ruin and unfortunately the rest of us.
