  • reverse the trend

    One of the most prestigious Basque economists, my partner Iñaki Barredo, swimming against the current, gave us some very interesting reflections on the opportunity to increase the public deficit and favor expansive public spending policies that would encourage demand and therefore accelerate the growth of the Spanish and European economies. Just the opposite of what…

  • Notice to boaters

    The editorial by P. Krugman at the NYT warns us of the dangers of restrictive tax policies that have been set Europe and that is forcing indiscriminate cuts in public spending and investment. According to the criteria of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, this will mean lower growth, lower employment and, to put our…

  • back to the old ways

    The recently published business figures and order intake by the INE could not be more discouraging. They fell by 49.6% and 67.9% respectively and could be pointing to a change in trend in the timid increases in demand that Spanish companies were experiencing; all you have to do is look at the graphs. These data,…

  • Los Angeles without cars

    I just finda curious video. Ross Ching, a Los Angeles filmmaker has managed to edit footage of the city and edit it to make it disappear from they the cars.

  • Towards a secular state. New Religious Freedom Law

    The Spanish government is drafting the draft Law on Religious Freedom which, for the first time in many years, introduces the Spanish “secularism of the State” into its articles. The draft echoed by the newspaper El País actually speaks of confessional “neutrality” in its basic articles and in its preamble but, although incomplete, it is…

  • Foreign investment does not reach Castilla y León

    Only 0.5% of foreign direct investment in Spain reaches Castilla y León. Taking into account that regional GDP constitutes 3% of Spain’s GDP, it is clear that the indicator is disappointing. At the same time, the attractive power of the Community of Madrid is striking, which attracted 62.2% of the total. Some immediate conclusions can…
