Since my childhood I've held the belief that something is wrong with the current economic system, but until recently I've been far away from the economics because it seemed nothing but a game economists play with. Under the current new liberalism many people, especially in the US, are rushing toward the stock market to make a quick money, but let's think of the reason they can gain: Stock prices are instable, they don't stop to go up and down, ..and the winners get their profit at the cost of the unlucky losers who made a mistake in selling or buying the stock, and I was fed up with such "economy."
The current situation, however, didn't let me persue my own interest. Right now it's such gamble-like system who both props up and collapses economies, countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are victims, and more and more people and countries(especially Latin American ones, as I understand Spanish) will only suffer from the global economy if things go on. So we should look for the alternative economy that can save us from the world-wide gamble called "speculation," and I'll give as much information as possible in this respect to help you imagine the other economic systems. All comments, suggestions, complaints and questions are welcome and I'd be happy to receive your e-mail.
