Una chirola para mi y el resto para los camaradas.

La nueva política que encara el gobierno para mantener el precio del pan, tiene paralelismos insólitos, analogías con elementos de la historia mas reciente: En la URSS un trabajador debía aportar un porcentaje fijo de su salario para el partido y la discusión (sino la mejor del historia) entre Ricardo y Malthus acerca de la ley de granos.
Parece que ahora, cada productor deberá aportar una parte de su cosecha al mercado local, donde el precio no tendrá conexion con el precio internacional. Me imagino, que analizando un precio de equilibrio como interacción entre oferta y demanda, tendremos una gran expansión de la oferta hacia la derecha: muchos miñonsitos a bajo precio: Los asados del Domingo serán mas baratos, digo, yo compro mucho pan para el chori. No solo eso, sino también la harina, la pizza, etc. Genial, solucionado el dilema Argentino (Llach-Gerchu) otro punto para el 2007. Me encanta el capitalismo con rostro humano.

The exchange was not yet over but, with the publication of Malthus' Prznczples, it shifted to a new topic, or rather a long smoldering topic that flared up: "gluts." With the return of peace after Waterloo, the English economy had sagged into a postwar depression or, as they called it, "glut." What should be done about it? Ricardo held that a condition of general overproduction was impossible except transiently. An oversupply of one commodity would have to be counterbalanced automatically by a shortage of some other. Ricardo explained this, in effect Say's Law, to Malthus, painstakingly in letter after letter, but Malthus could not see it. Malthus, for his part, explained to Ricardo repeatedly that total demand might be smaller than thc total output that the working population and other resources could produce if fully employed. The working population could not afford to buy much more than bare subsistence. If the well-off classes were too abstemious, the priccs of luxuries could fall to the point where there was no profit in producing them, and glut would ensue. In the extreme, Malthus pointed out, if everyone lived on a subsistence scale there would have to be a vast oversupply of commodities since each worker could produce much more than bare subsistence for himself and his family. To no avail. Ricardo couldn't see it.
