Who puts ideology above economics?

Naeem12

Economists are not scientists in the same sense that physicists are, and they often have few absolute certainties that they can share." (Abhijit V. Baherjee and Esther Duflo, Nobel Prize winners in Economics: Good economics for difficult times ) "Ideology, while concealing and masking a reality, can be a revelation of this reality." (José Ferrater Mora: "Ideology" in Abridged Dictionary of Philosophy ) In a recent parliamentary session to control the Government, I heard Mrs. Concepción (Cuca) Gamarra – current spokesperson for the Popular Party – accuse President Pedro Sánchez of responding “ with ideology over the economy ” to the failure and exhaustion of his “government.” Frankenstein". I will not stop to comment on this last expression, so commonplace since the first coalition government of our current democratic stage was formed; but I don't lack desire for what it has as an example of how a literary archetype is used tortuously to achieve an effect of rejection, even repugnance, so it is presented as an abomination, as a monstrosity conceived against nature.

Contrast economics with ideology I do want – this is – to pay attention to the first expression, cleverly conceived, which contrasts economics with ideology with an undeniable moral connotation that tinges the first of the contrasting terms with goodness and the second with evil. The opposition party must be congratulated because it has come up with a simple, Manichean message that neutralizes the already weak capacity for critical thinking of citizens. Because, as Active Phone Number List everyone knows and is true, economics is a science while ideology is the stuff of fanatic radicals who want to impose their beliefs on others at all costs, such as the paradigmatic cases of communism, feminism and nationalism. (with the exception of Spanish, of course, the only legitimate one). They make up that terrifying monster to whose unhealthy impulses the decisions of the executive respond, because his desire for power is above the well-being of the Spanish people . So the message that will carry them from triumph to triumph, as the recent Andalusian elections have shown, will be that those of the Popular Party are the champions of moderation, aseptic from an ideological point of view and only interested in good management.



public affairs, which guarantees that the foundation of its policies will be the economy and only the economy, that is, science and not ideology. Its main spokesperson is the new messianic leader, Mr. Alberto Núñez Feijóo , invested since his incorporation into the presidency of his party with the aura of moderation, which is established as a truth that is certified without question. The money junkies Economy is the key. Whoever appropriates it as a defining element of his political identity has science on his side , accentuates his role as manager and distances himself from the chaotic sphere of interests, values ​​and principles that only cloud judgment and malevolently bias the administration of public affairs. On the contrary, everything that the current Government decides, intoxicated to the core with ideology , responds only to the interests of some who do everything they do to hold power and others who, as appropriate, want to execute their feminist agenda or communist or independence.
