Congratulation Messages To Mother's Expecting

The mirage of similarities (or the opposition alfonsinización)

In times of "tension" (a term grating if any), the call for dialogue and convergence is expected and even welcomed. But as a distinguished colleague protested flawlessly in this praise of discens , down with style convergence Miss Congeniality (after all, who is not in favor of world peace?) That hide a miscalculated attempt by some media and business groups to put together an agreement antikirchnerista devoid of substance (which only enhances the uniqueness of the ruling).

Gone with the rugged experiment of Group A and, again, with the rugged exploits of the candidate of consensus (a consensus that he painted more like a half a world on the hunt for votes scattered and diverse, than a program that ensures convergence their survival post-election).

It seems that the consensus is back in vogue in the media. This convergence with forceps occurs almost by default: failed terrañizar attempts the race around a candidate more elastic (ie, more "centrist", ie, an SUV that could catalyze the conservative vote), Plan B is to stretch the image of Alfonsin despite resistance own candidate.

much smaller in scale, the emphasis with matching economic proposals, dividing the debate between the rational (which should be listed in the column behind a candidate to represent the sensible center, etc.) And another (a government autistic and authoritarian in the process of radicalization, etc.).

However, a quick covered by epidermal expressions of candidates on economic issues then reveals differences, which deepen to move from the obvious (you have to lower inflation) to the less obvious (how?). (What say even more sensitive topics such as security.)

macrismo The recent rotation into a sort of magical popumonetarismo is a reflection of this trend. It is the intention of this post insist that I think about , or discuss the economy from the beginnings of a discourse that has more than proselytizing (as a distinguished colleague has commented here ) than economic (beyond monetarist faith that a central banker conservative and a priori contractionary monetary policy can reduce inflation to single digits with a shock of credibility, without any adjustment or economic cost).

The mirror that returns the media distorts the policy debate, stretching the images to a core consensus that in reality there is not among leaders and among voters, something that otherwise is a healthy sign that the demand of man Street exceeds the government reductionist vs. antagonism. opposition.

From this point of view, the danger is less consensus, but the progressive rhetoric of macrismo alfonsinización or potential Alfonsin macrinización the end of distorting the virtues of each candidate.
