Sin embargo, el experto que no intenta explicar las posibles opciones en el manejo de la política económica y del sistema financiero global a 'un niño curioso,' no es un experto a quien podemos confiar el rumbo de la política económica. El verdadero experto entiende que debe buscar y explicar las opciones, porque no puede ser que el o ella determina la política económica. Es el pueblo, por medio de un proceso verdaderamente democrático, que debe determinarla.
Una de las maneras en que un grupo (una casta?) de expertos, trabajando en las instituciones económicas nacionales e internacionalse, mantiene su poder es pretender que 'los que no saben' no deben interferir en el diseño y la aplicación de 'sound economic policies'.
Hasta cuando les damos ese poder?
Ahora digo lo mismo en inglés:
They claim that economic policy, especially financial and monetary policy, is a thing for experts. Also they claim that the management of the global financial and monetary system is a thing for experts. Those who say and think this are pretentious.
However, the expert who does not attempt to explain the options in the management of economic policy and the global financial system to 'a curious child,' is not an expert whom we can trust the direction of economic policy. The true expert understands that he or she should look for and explain the options, because it can not be that he or she determines economic policy. It is the people, through a truly democratic process, that should determine.
One of the ways in which a group (caste?) of experts working in national and internacional economic institutions maintains its power is by claiming that 'those who do not know' should not interfere in the design and implementation of 'sound economic policies'.
Until when do we give them that power?
