Sabias que a Coreia do Norte já se está abrindo ao investimento estrangeiro (bom sítio para investir já que lá pouco deve haver)
Politicamente, descentralização é a melhor solução. Poder em poucas mãos dá sempre asneira. No meio está a virtude
Tens que ter calma Orion, está a ser difícil acompanhar o teu raciocínio, ainda ontem falavas dos juros baixos e impressão de dinheiro.
Empréstimos sem juros não fazem sentido, relaxa, e lê algumas coisas decentes, um pouco menos conspirativas, podes começar por aqui: http://www.libertarianismo.org/livros/pshaegawic.pdf
Consegues perceber as contradições em tudo o que escreves?
Consegues conceber um sistema predador que "invista" pra não retirar valor igual ao que investiu?
Ninguém propõe um regime autocrático mas um sistema onde todos podem participar e sentir-se representados. Onde as coisas não sejam apresentadas como factos consumados por já terem sido discutidas a sós noutro local.
Parece-me que estás a tentar domesticar o capitalismo e isso não é possível. O capitalismo só tem um sentido: acumular e monopolizar.

The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved a one-year extension of federal borrowing authority on Tuesday after Republicans caved into President Barack Obama's demands to allow a debt limit increase without any conditions.
(...)
Although Boehner called his decision to advance a "clean" debt limit a "disappointing moment," it sets aside a difficult and divisive issue until after the 2014 congressional elections in November, allowing Republicans to focus their campaign efforts on the rocky launch of Obama's healthcare reform law.
(...)
The White House hailed the House vote as "a positive step in moving away from the political brinkmanship that's a needless drag on our economy."
Democrats provided most of the "yes" votes on the debt limit increase, which was hastily attached to a measure renaming an air traffic control center in Nashua, New Hampshire. There were 193 Democrats who voted yes, versus just 28 Republicans, who wanted to pin blame on Obama's refusal to negotiate.
"He will not engage in our long-term spending problem," Boehner told reporters earlier on Tuesday. "So let his party give him the debt ceiling increase that he wants."

Al-Qaeda fighters have struck a bloody blow in scenes of medieval violence in Syria's northern border-town of Jarabulus. Fighting came to a head on January 17, between rebel groups Liwa al-Tawhid Brigade and the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the town, when reinforcements arrived from Raqqa and reclaimed the city in a brutal four-hour battle.
By nightfall, at least 10 men had been beheaded, their heads mounted on spikes, and more than 1,000 refugees fled the 3kms across the border to Turkey.
It's a shocking turn of events for residents and Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters alike, who just a week ago believed they were hours away from expelling the al-Qaeda group from their city altogether after surrounding the last 40 fighters in the city's cultural centre.
But when an ISIL car bomb killed 33 people - all women and children - the FSA brigade called for backup. Instead, what arrived was a 70-car ISIL convoy from Raqqa, an ISIL stronghold 160kms to the south-east. Fighters say half of the militants wore their usual black uniform and half wore camouflage like the FSA, and were uncharacteristically clean-shaven. The disguised fighters tied white bands around their arms to distinguish themselves from the real FSA.
Beheadings
More than 100 men were taken from their homes and escorted to the main square for what turned into a bloodbath.
Muhammad Jader, 22, and his uncle Ali, 35, were among those arrested.
"They lined us up against the wall," Jader told Al Jazeera, "and the emir told them not to waste bullets. Suddenly they grabbed one guy and pinned him down on his stomach. Then one man from ISIL put his knee on his back, shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and cut off his head with a knife."
"They chose people at random to kill," he said. "There was no logic."
Britain's oil production from the North Sea is expected to fall this year to new lows not seen since the early 1970s in a fresh blow to Alex Salmond's economic plans for Scottish independence.
In its latest closely watched market report published Wednesday, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) said that projected output from the North Sea in 2014 could fall to an average of 800,000 barrels a day (b/d) of crude, a fall of 70,000 b/d from 2013 when output hit its lowest average since 1977.
"UK oil production has fallen from a peak of close to 2.82m b/d in 1999, when the country’s net exports were 972,000 b/d. Until recently, the UK’s mature North Sea fields have seen decline rates averaging around 6pc a year. However, oil output slumped by more than 17pc in 2011 and 14pc in 2012 to less than 1m b/d, exacerbated by heavy maintenance and unplanned outages," said OPEC in the 107-page document.
OPEC's poor assessment for the prospects of North Sea production will come as a further blow to Mr Salmond who has argued that exploiting oil resources will be enough to sustain Scotland's economy if he is successful in September's referendum. According to Mr Salmond's figures, the region's remaining oil reserves will be worth £300,000 per person.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph in October, Opec Secretary General Abdalla Salem el-Badri warned that North Sea "oilfields" were depleted and that an independent Scotland would be unthinkable.

Gold hit a three-month high on Tuesday morning, defying most expert views that 2014 would see further falls in the precious metal a day after a report revealed 500-tonnes of bullion is missing somewhere in China.
However, the recent rally still has many analysts questioning whether the recent turnaround is just a "dead cat bounce" or a sustained revision in market sentiment?
The yellow metal is up 6pc since the beginning of the year at around $1,290 (£785) but still a long way off the historic high above $1,900 that was achieved in in 2011. Gold endured its biggest price collapse in 30 years in 2013 as investors shifted assets out of exchange traded funds and into higher yielding equities.
(...)
According to brokers at Macquarie it "remains a mystery what happened to the other gold available in China". The missing gold will again raise questions over the strength of demand in the world's largest market for the metal amid concern that more gold is being traded on the black market. One conspiracy theory is that the People's Bank of China is simply stockpiling gold off balance sheet.
Somewhat less mysterious is the emerging market turbulence that has certainly helped to support gold prices, with investors seeking out the precious metal as a safe haven as has the change in leadership at the US Federal Reserve and the central bank's schedule for tapering monetary stimulus.
The Senate advanced legislation to suspend the U.S. debt limit until March 15, 2015, and now will take a final vote to clear the measure for President Barack Obama’s signature.
The 2013 budget for the Defense Department after sequestration is $565.8 billion. A new Reuters investigation says, however, there is no way to account for how much of that money is spent as appropriated.
In a two-part investigation, reporters Scot J. Paltrow and Kelly Carr uncovered a widespread practice of “plugging in” lost or missing accounting numbers in an effort to match Pentagon spending to Treasury reports. The practice essentially institutionalized accounting fraud across the Navy, Army, Air Force and other defense agencies. According to Reuters, the Pentagon has spent 8.5 trillion dollars since 1996, without ever completing a required annual audit.
The U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest, a study released on Thursday said.
The war has killed at least 134,000 Iraqi civilians and may have contributed to the deaths of as many as four times that number, according to the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University.
When security forces, insurgents, journalists and humanitarian workers were included, the war's death toll rose to an estimated 176,000 to 189,000, the study said.
The savings of the European Union's 500 million citizens could be used to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks since the financial crisis, an EU document says.
The EU is looking for ways to wean the 28-country bloc from its heavy reliance on bank financing and find other means of funding small companies, infrastructure projects and other investment.
"The economic and financial crisis has impaired the ability of the financial sector to channel funds to the real economy, in particular long-term investment," said the document, seen by Reuters.
The Commission will ask the bloc's insurance watchdog in the second half of this year for advice on a possible draft law "to mobilize more personal pension savings for long-term financing", the document said.
Banks have complained they are hindered from lending to the economy by post-crisis rules forcing them to hold much larger safety cushions of capital and liquidity.
The document said the "appropriateness" of the EU capital and liquidity rules for long-term financing will be reviewed over the next two years, a process likely to be scrutinized in the United States and elsewhere to head off any risk of EU banks gaining an unfair advantage.
The EU executive will also complete a study by the end of this year on the feasibility of introducing an EU savings account, open to individuals whose funds could be pooled and invested in small companies.
The Commission also plans to study this year whether changes are needed to help fund small businesses by creating a liquid and transparent secondary market for trading corporate bonds in the EU.
It is also seeking to revive the securitization market, which pools loans like mortgages into bonds that banks can sell to raise funding for themselves or companies. The market was tarnished by the financial crisis when bonds linked to U.S. home loans began defaulting in 2007, sparking the broader global markets meltdown over the ensuing two years.
The document says the Commission will "take into account possible future increases in the liquidity of a number of securitization products" when it comes to finalizing a new rule on what assets banks can place in their new liquidity buffers. This signals a possible loosening of the definition of eligible assets from the bloc's banking watchdog.
The Commission will also "review" how EU rules treat covered bonds by the end of this year, the document says, a step that will be welcomed by Denmark with its large market in bonds used by banks to finance home loans.
Other steps to boost financing in the EU include possible steps to aid crowdfunding, where many people contribute relatively small amounts of money to create a sizeable funding pool.
The document said investors and asset managers also have a role and it will propose a revision of EU rules on shareholder rights to "ensure better disclosure of institutional investors' engagement and voting policies".
More controversially, the Commission will consider whether the use of fair value or pricing assets at the going rate in a new globally agreed accounting rule "is appropriate, in particular regarding long-term investing business models".
