Muy Interesante

El libro de José Ignacio García Hamilton, simplemente deduce que los países que ahora son desarrollados lo lograron mediante: - El respeto a la propiedad privada. - El apego a las leyes. - La separación y limites del poder. - El respeto a las instituciones. Nada fuera de lo común (en los países desarrollados, claro esta). Mientras tanto en el vecindario latinoamericano, en el lado regido por el castrochavismo, se oye aún de reformas agrarias, nacionalizaciones, expropiaciones, redistribución de la riqueza, "equidad" tributaria, economía "solidaria", lucha de clases, etc. Hoy muchas de las democracias latinoamericanas no son más que la tiranía de la mayoría donde manda la mitad más uno. Se supone que son repúblicas pero no terminan siendo más que monarquías autoritarias.

Insight to promote growth

A Mano Limpia is a show that airs in South Florida. Mr. Oscar Haza, the host of the show, opens the forum for candid discussion about world events, with a concentration of the review of events transpiring in Cuba. Mr. Jose Ignacio Garcia Hamilton was invited and we watched his interview, where he introduced this work as a humble attempt to decipher why some countries grow and prosper while others do not. Mr. Garcia Hamilton came across as highly knowledgeable and provided an overview of world events that enchanted my father and I. We decided to acquire the book, and we find that it is excellent. Thanks to a neighbor from Argentina, Lina Navarini, we are rather interested in getting to know more of how the world is perceived by the people of the land of Carlos Gardel, Libertad Lamarque, Hugo Del Carril, gauchos, great "parrilladas" and tango. The author opens by sharing a biographical overview of his life. Born November 1st, 1943 in Argentina, Mr. Garcia Hamilton lived through interesting experiences during the government of Peron, who took over the government of Argentina a few months prior to Mr. Garcia Hamilton's birth, on June 4th, 1943. Mr. Garcia Hamilton's grandfather was an entrepreneur, initiating a newspaper, La Gaceta, something he later emulated by following suit and starting operations with El Pueblo de Tucuman. He provides insight on why nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and many others grow. The thinking processes required by a country to grow and prosper are explained in detail, but the key factor mentioned by the author is finding in these prosperous nations democratic forms of government that promote and defend individual rights while protecting individual accomplishments and the acquisition of property, whether intellectual or material. The book is in Spanish. Would highly recommend reading this excellent book.
