1. It is heartbreaking to see how the current paradigm can fool so many people. So is not that a ruling political class that says it is committed to combating unemployment is as political as increase the civil service working hours from 35 to 40 hours and end up with some holid ays, namely, cover some possible jobs? It is obvious that such measures reveals a pure policy of accountants, that has nothing to do with employment or unemployment, since the accounts are set capital, there is no other, but people do not count as ‘production costs’, ie as inputs so to speak mechanized, instruments, machines.
2. Now, think of it this line we can see a different logic of political possibilities, one can see for example that large companies switching to hands administrators who propose reform them proceed to the dismissal of thousands of workers without this appears to affect the inner workings production and the associated bureaucracy, on the contrary. Is that this is only possible because new electronic technologies replace muscle energy and / or brain of those who are made redundant . There were the ones who caused the great wave of unemployment that was generating the last three decades as production numbers rose sharply and increased the profits of large companies, new and some old who adapted?
3. But do not just consider the recent history to face in a certain way this question, we must think of it in the light of Western history: why are the other great civilizations of China, India, Islam, did not come as far as our ancestors arrived and only recently opened to the inheritance to just receive the technology? The question has interested historians of various skills that I know of but never take into account the factor that caused the difference, 25 centuries ago, the invention of the definition by Socrates to Aristotle mainly applied to various knowledge of his time, generating the logic that has possible Euclidean geometry 20 years later; he instituted the gnosiological text arguments about essences that the schools of philosophy were passing and the medieval universities received to transmit in turn – printed schools and books – Galileo, Newton and his contemporaries, who considered themselves philosophers who used geometry. There was the legenda ry history of European scientists, with a manufacturer of instruments for their laboratories, James Watt, finally managed to invent a device that distinguished a steam power source of water and the possibility of connecting to machines of different jobs: machine that electricity and oil improved strongly after had an obvious result replace the muscle work increasingly varied productions , multiply employment opportunities and come to ease the harshness of the work. Starting with huge time and appalling conditions of internal ecology in factories and mines, the history of the reduction of working hours and the improvement of their conditions is one of the noble parts of the twentieth century, along with the scientific and technological development.
4. That’s what electronic technology came finalize, forcing further reduction of working hours , which the economic and political thought only resulted in rising unemployment, making scourge which is historically better life promise to all (since the higher profits today are companies with few people, there would perhaps think that a tax on electronic machinery enterprises with coefficients according to exempt jobs). Here come the philosopher ceases to be competent to continue, although attentive to the minority current that proposes to decrease to save us but knowing the great difficulty that puts you globalization. But what is clearly said is that the history of thought that was raised is their great heroes the ancestors of all human (Enlightenment ) and not just the ‘poor in spirit’ who think only of numbers to grow accounts, which are the complete denial of the great intellectual passions and often spiritual they do, along with the saints and artists, the admirable range of humans worth for us, guide us upward and forward. Makes you want to cry to think that great to know that modernity made possible emptied itself into the social environment that caused this economic storm that Madoff is the symbol of greed.
5. Urgent, urgent, is established by European laws that require capital to comply with the democratic elections of various EU nations, such as those that are coming in Greece, Spain and Portugal.
