Decir que la carretera les va llevar energía, postas de salud, escuelas, el “progreso”, hablándoles o refiriéndose a quienes viven muy lejos de donde … Continue reading El TIPNIS y la Farsa del Comediante

What occurred in the process of change that more than 15 years ago won its first victory with the water war?

[Alberto Acosta, 25/07/2012, ecoportal] Aunque resulte poco creíble a primera vista, la evidencia reciente y muchas experiencias acumuladas permiten afirmar que la pobreza en muchos países del mundo está relacionada con la existencia de una significativa riqueza en recursos naturales. Los países ricos en recursos naturales, cuya economía se sustenta prioritariamente en su extracción y exportación, encuentran mayores dificultades para desarrollarse. “- ¿Podrías decirme, qué … Continue reading Extractivismo y neoextractivismo: dos caras de la misma maldición

Tiempos aquéllos. Ahora, … Continue reading Los robots atacan a Trump

[Alberto Acosta, 16/01/2017] “Los incumplimientos por gobiernos extranjeros de su deuda externa son tan numerosos y ciertamente tan cercanos a ser universales que es fácil tratar sobre ellos nombrando a aquellos que no han incurrido en incumplimiento, que aquellos que lo han hecho.
