The evidence they are asked to believe that the Fed has done everything possible, given the huge U.S. deficit, which will only continue to move forward. The thrill of an American dollar being so devalued currencies around the world is felt in every national center loud and clear.
All empires grow and make great self-indulgent, as the Germans have shown the citizens of Rome, which has happened before and after. You again? Maybe.

U.S. housing was allowed to borrow low interest rates after false 9 / 11 until the market was so swollen that something had to give. If you’re one of them, a former credit manager, what should you do?
Stop, drop and roll. Its ratings are on fire, and the next, while they will be too hot to the touch for many creditors nervous. Accept this. You’ll have to rebuild, and there are many ways to this great nation and this great continent of potential.

South American Literature

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

What is this South American writers that makes them unique and fascinating at the same time?

For those of you who have read Saturday, Cortázar, Saramago, Borges, Marquez and Llosa I congratulate you, probably because they were mesmerized by his work. I am convinced that his writing is deeply influenced (perhaps more European, or Asian American authors) of the national spirit. Do not forget we’re talking about a land forged by centuries long battles, tormented by poverty, conquerings wild and a tradition that continues to define them as a united people, if they come from Argentina, Peru, the Caribbean and Brazil.

I must admit I have never traveled to Latin America, but they have taken to this magical land of the stories told by their best spokesman. These stories are in part responsible for the cruel reality, but its real strength comes from the myths, legends and dreams. This is what unites all in a beautiful story in the tradition of escape, the patterns of the elderly. Pounding life for those who never knew peace or welfare, for the restless and those who are forced to demonstrate their courage and defense of their identity. E ‘this pain in the long run, that the novels as “The Double” (Saramago), “secret weapons” (Cortázar) and “Good Company” (Laura Restrepo) saw the light of day. These writings and the heart of its authors are a testimony of a voice, that of Latin America. The spirit of a country reflects the spirit of its greatest writers. The passion and vigor that breathes through his words is only surpassed by the fine art of craft a world ruled by fantasy and fairy tales.

Mallin? Rouge: Literature Review

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

We are in an era where space is controlled by men. We are forced to edit and compress the space in the way they represent the world to ourselves. With the availability of modern simulation techniques, we create a world within our world, and this can be provided in institutions of shopping, especially shopping centers, which are the main street of the suburbs and the center of our landscape.
The shopping center is flooded with images of great tease and entice buyers to buy, especially in the creation of the dream world of mass culture, so it was probably fitting to call the cathedrals of consumption. This shopping malls in his diabolical purpose fetishist, his division of the population of consciousness of reality. And this break with reality is also reflected in the way of knowing the shopping center context. It is said that parallel to the way television experience: both seek to stimulate and entertain at the same time, lulled by us. In other words, it creates the illusion that hides the failure of society in terms of politics and economy of material abundance through the image displayed in shopping malls. This illusion is created both a justification and pre-modern capitalist subjectivity of a person. The capitalists to create an attractive platform to facilitate the growth of production, the reproduction of labor power and profit maximization.
A typical feature of “Malling” is the feeling of eternity (“shopping as a way of life”), where people can relax and not worry. As the experience of television, there is a lack of sense of time in Malling. The jumble of shops and shopping services similar to our channel changing interactions with TV shows such as sailing at random by a comedy of a film a documentary, all in a minute. Thus, the mall is where the audience spellbound gathered to hear this unusual place, but fun and fabulous event, and unwittingly trapped in this illusion (which is a lot of material).
