Educación, ¿Gasto Publico, o Inversión a largo plazo?; los Tigres

Núcleo Duro, Clientelismo, Índice de Ginni, Abrirnos al Mundo, Superávit, Disminuir el Gasto Publico.

Bla, bla, bla; disculpen los amigos por el exabrupto, ¿pero diferenciamos lo que es Gasto, de la Inversión en las Finanzas Publicas?

La Educación, ¿es un Gasto?

Pregunto, porque no se.

Los conflictos de Alfonsin en los 80.

El traslado a las provincias sin recursos, durante el menemato.

Los recortes del gobierno de la Alianza.

Me hacen pensar que si.

Inclusive los conflictos en Santa Cruz y Neuquén, ¿son por sueldos, o ideológicos?

Como también estoy cansado que me digan que no imitamos a los países exitosos, me puse a averiguar.

No los voy a atorar con todo lo que estuve leyendo, pero la información sobre los cuatro Tigres o Dragones, que sale en Wikipedia me parece un buen punto de partida.

De Filmus no voy a decir nada, total ya se va, ¿se va?

Pero al Cambio con Continuidad de CFK si le puedo preguntar.

¿Qué piensa hacer Compañera, continuar o cambiar?

¿Cómo, Cuando, Donde, con quien?

¿Es mucho pedir, o es un Secreto de Estado?

The Four Asian Tigers pursued an export-driven model of economic development; these countries and territories focused on developing goods for export to highly-industrialized nations.

Domestic consumption was discouraged through government policies such as high tariffs.

The Four Asian Tigers singled out education as a means of improving productivity; these nations focused on improving the education system at all levels; heavy emphasis was placed on ensuring that all children attended elementary education and compulsory high school education.

Money was also spent on improving the college and university system.

Since the Four Asian Tigers were relatively poor during the 1960s, these nations had an abundance of cheap labor.

Coupled with educational reform, they were able to leverage this combination into a cheap, yet productive workforce.

The Four Asian Tigers committed to egalitarianism in the form of land reform, to promote property rights and to ensure that agricultural workers would not become disgruntled.

Also, policies of agricultural subsidies and tariffs on agricultural products were implemented as well.

The common characteristics of the Four Asian Tigers are:

  • Focused on exports to richer industrialized nations
  • Trade surplus with aforementioned countries
  • Sustained rate of double-digit growth for decades
  • Non-democratic and relatively authoritarian political systems during the early years
  • High level of U.S. treasury bond holdings
  • High savings rate
  • The ranks of GDP (by nominial) List of countries by GDP (nominal) of South Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, and Singapore are 12th, 22th, 36th, and 44th as in order.
