Depressão económica (2010) ou entao mudar a economia

Creio que apesar de (quase) ninguém reparar estámos a entrar num período díficil, em que uma crise social e depressão económica se aproxima. Há portanto que se optimista e sobretudo activo na procura de soluções e mudança. Estar precavido será importante, se é que a depressão de 1929 e 1873 nos podem ensinar alguma coisa.

Creio que pelo menos agora já ficam conscientes da possível realidade. Não digam que não foram avisados ;-)

Filosoficamente falando, o mundo também não podia continuar no estado de perpétuo crescimento e exploração ilimitada de recursos. O ambiente certamente vai agradecer.
Quando ocorre uma depressão, a economia estagna e o nível de vida fica muito mais complicado, se bem que certas coisas como, uma quantidade de dinheiro guardado e maior auto-suficiente na vida, ajudam imenso. Ter débitos e despesas como um carro ou casa para pagar serão das piores coisas.

Várias fontes apontam para 2010 para o ano em que a depressão deverá verdadeiramente começar, e durar pelo menos alguns anos, transformando as nossas vidas.
Se estiver errado ou exagerado, melhor para todos nós. Eu espero estar errado. Mas creio que perante a insustentabilidade actual, e a cegueira dos vários sectores da sociedade, que insistem em não querer ver os inúmeros problemas existentes (desde distribuição desigual da riqueza, escassez de recursos, mudanças climáticas, especulação económica, gastos em guerras e exageros no sector da construção), tudo aponta que a depressão parece estar a surgir. E é até talvez venha a ser um remédio santo! De qualquer modo, uma pessoa há que escutar a realidade e adaptar-se tomando medidas certas. É preciso mudar! Governos e pessoas!

"The U.S. economy is in an intensifying inflationary recession that eventually will evolve into a hyperinflationary great depression. Hyperinflation could be experienced as early as 2010, if not before, and likely no more than a decade down the road. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve already have committed the system to this course through the easy politics of a bottomless pocketbook, the servicing of big-moneyed special interests, and gross mismanagement"

"The depression began in late 1929 and lasted for about a decade. Many factors played a role in bringing about the depression; however, the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the 1920's, and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part that same decade. The maldistribution of wealth in the 1920's existed on many levels. Money was distributed disparately between the rich and the middle-class, between industry and agriculture within the United States, and between the U.S. and Europe. This imbalance of wealth created an unstable economy. The excessive speculation in the late 1920's kept the stock market artificially high, but eventually lead to large market crashes. These market crashes, combined with the maldistribution of wealth, caused the American economy to capsize."

"The greatest force in the economy can be indisputably demonstrated to be consumer demographics, and within that the 45 to 54 year-olds demographic is just as clearly all-powerful. Things like interest rates, deficits, who is elected, and inflation are followers or consequences of the economy, not the makers of it. The Fed raises or lowers rates because the economy tells it to. Stock market crashes don’t cause recessions or depressions. It is the other way around. The DJIA is simply following the 45 to 54 year-olds demographic down to reflecting the new lower value of stocks as the economy declines. For easy to understand, fundamental reasons the economy has followed the big-spending 45-54 year-olds demographic for nearly a century. History shows that the economy always declines when the number of big-spending 45 to 54 year-olds in the population declines, a full 11 to 20 years before they retire. This happened rapidly in the early 1930s, slowly thank goodness in the 1970s, and will happen again from 2013 to 2025 [Baby boomer's retiring] (...) Our economy is driven overwhelmingly by consumer spending, no matter what we spend it on, including gasoline. Boomers will continue to unavoidably spend until their big-spending age limit is reached. When that happens the depression begins (...) This catastrophic depression will happen. The precious few years that are left before this coming 2013-2025 depression, that will dwarf the 1930s, must be used to their fullest starting immediately. It still won’t be enough time for many, but at least forewarned is forearmed."
