To make routinely or ordinary life, an adventure with future, makes indispensable which we jump across the walls and the borders lines, to meet again to us between the legend, the rates, the tremors and the dreams that wake up in the human soul, music, the poetry, the privilege of being able to maintain to us romped, between the electronic mail, audio and the videoconferences... each one by its side, each one breathing his or her own air, rhythm, styles, trying to find or to propose new senses to the life.
Not very often we watched backwards, to know that the distances, riding, sailing, crossing passages, infected forests possessed by criminals, forbidden territories, earth stinted out with diseases impossible to anticipate or to cure... were have not many centuries ago, the only possibility of maintaining to two people in contact, with their interests, the news, life styles... all it paying to an expensive price and taking high risks, with times of delay of weeks or months, to the delay of the letter, the emissary, the shout of the watchtower, from the light or the bell tower... we can play well our letters, we do the impossible thing, to harvest transparent experiences, multiple stimuli and the shared passions, to unite souls, languages, peoples and cultures, that yesterday, not even we imagined that they shared with us the Earth.
Let us do of the leisure, not merchandise, but an expression of our individuality, a testimony to crosscurrent of the freedom, as much in the North as in the South: watch and feel, each other, in the mirror, we will find the invisible thread of the humankind, that unites to us, to this time and all the previous ones, and those of happening in next futures.

Hacer de la cotidianidad una aventura con futuro, hace indispensable que saltemos sobre los muros y las fronteras, para reencontrarnos entre las leyendas, los ritmos, los estremecimientos y los sueños que despiertan en el alma humana, la música, la poesía, el privilegio de poder mantenernos enredados, entre el correo electrónico, la tele y la videoconferencia…cada uno por su lado, a su aire, procurando encontrar o proponer nuevos sentidos a la vida.
Pocas veces miramos hacia atrás, para saber que las distancias, cabalgando, navegando, atravesando pasadizos, bosques infectados de criminales, territorios vedados, tierras apestadas con enfermedades imposibles de prever o de curar…fueron no hace muchos siglos la única posibilidad de mantener a dos personas en contacto, con sus intereses, noticias, estilos de vida…todo ello pagando un precio y riesgos altos, con unos tiempos de espera de semanas o meses, a la espera de la carta, el emisario, el grito del atalaya, desde el faro o el campanario… juguemos bien nuestras cartas, hagamos lo imposible, por cosechar experiencias transparentes, estímulos múltiples para las alianzas y las pasiones compartidas, para unir almas, lenguas, pueblos y culturas, que ayer, ni siquiera imaginábamos que compartían con nosotros la tierra.
Hagamos del ocio, no una mercancía, sino una expresión fértil e irrepetible de nuestra individualidad. Un testimonio a contracorriente de la libertad, tanto en el Norte como en el Sur: mirémonos en el espejo, encontraremos el hilo invisible de la humanidad, que nos une, a este tiempo y a todos los anteriores, y los del devenir.

Free trade: Way ahead ‘is openness, not protectionism’ By John Paul Rathbone
International trade is under attack. Recession has tested many countries’ commitment to keep their borders open, as politicians, beholden to domestic audiences, have succumbed to the temptation of throwing up trade barriers for short-term economic gain.
That is a fair enough summary of the current state of global trade. But not in Mexico, one of the most stalwart defenders of free trade in Latin America – or indeed the world.
Enrique Peña Nieto of the opposition PRI has an agenda including more competition in the economy “We have to be very clear that the way forward is not protectionism, but openness,” Felipe Calderón, Mexico’s outgoing president, told a gathering of chief executives during April’s Summit of the Americas. “The way forward remains commerce, as it has been for millennia.” It was a passionate and rare public statement by a leading international politician in favour of free trade. In today’s economic climate, it is hard to think of any other G20 leader who would stick out his or her neck so far on the issue. More ON THIS STORY Overview Leaders aim to make a difference Regulation Economic slowdown has put brake on global reforms Viewpoint Why food security comes first Food prices Leaders seek a long-term solution to hunger pains Eurozone Greek chaos casts long shadow again IN G20: MEXICO & THE WORLD Los Cabos Venue is alluring backdrop for talks Security First signs that drug crime is on the wane G20 reform Time to take action – or risk irrelevance Power structures Emerging nations seek better balance It was also a thinly veiled criticism of some of Mexico’s partners. These include the US, where there are protectionist measures in Congress and, especially, two Latin American countries that have large Atlantic coastlines and where nervousness about deindustrialisation has recently triggered mercantilist instincts. In February, for example, Brazil moved to shield its car industry from Mexican competition; the country’s vintners also want protection from Chilean imports. Argentina, a prodigious inventor of eccentric policies, has meanwhile required importing businesses to sell something – anything – to foreigners worth as much as what they buy from them. The contrast between these approaches and the attitude of big Latin American economies with a Pacific coastline – Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile – is stark. All have strong free-trade instincts, perhaps because they have a sharper sense that the world’s economic centre of gravity is shifting towards Asia and the Pacific. Mexico, for example, is one of the most open of the world’s leading economies. In 2010, trade accounted for almost 60 per cent of its gross domestic product, compared with China at 48 per cent, the US with 22 per cent and Brazil at 19. Look to the future, and the contrast is even starker. HSBC reckons Mexican trade, which totalled $700bn last year, will rise to almost 70 per cent of GDP this year and 85 per cent by 2017. In some ways, this makes Mexico a regional standard bearer for open trade – although one could argue it has little choice. The country sits next to the world’s largest market, to which it can supply goods within 48 hours. It is also less rich in commodities than, say, Brazil. Both factors point to Mexico’s strategic need to become adept at manufacturing and facilitating trade. Thus, its exporting vocation has been further boosted by a plethora of trade agreements, and by fostering supplies of skilled and semi-skilled labour. Some 110,000 engineers graduated in engineering and technology in 2010, more than double the number in 1999, according to Inegi, the national statistics agency. As a result, the country has steadily diversified its trade partners and moved up the value chain, as Mexico-based manufacturers have become ever more efficient and skills-rich. The country now even exports cars to China. Analysts agree it is unlikely this attitude will change after Mexico’s July 1 presidential election. Politically, Enrique Peña Nieto of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), who leads in the polls, is pushing a reformist agenda that seeks to break down barriers to growth rather than erect new ones. Indeed, top of his list are domestic reforms to encourage more competition in Mexico’s internal economy. The country is also benefiting, as the relative competitive advantage of Chinese manufacturers is eroded by rising wage and labour costs there. The continued shortening of North American supply chains will see Mexican industry ever more tightly integrated into the region. Nor is it the only country in the region with free trading instincts. Alongside Canada, Mexico is angling to join the trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) which is being pushed by Washington to form a grand Asia-Pacific trade area. At the same time, Chile, Colombia and Peru want to form with Mexico an “Alliance of the Pacific”. Whether these Latin ambitions will come to anything is another matter. But at least the approach is businesslike. This year, for example, the presidents of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile discussed their proposed trade alliance via a “virtual summit”. That might be a fancy phrase for a “videoconference”. But it marked a welcome change in a continent that has often seemed overly fond of grandstanding presidential summits that are filled with patriotic fervour but rarely produce much of substance. The Mercosur trade bloc, for example, which groups Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, was once held up as an emblem of regional trade integration. Yet today it has become bogged down in disputes – including, in May, a “chip war” after truckloads of frozen fries, produced in Argentina and normally destined for Brazilian-based hamburger chains, clogged the two countries’ borders. Indeed, if you put aside the smiles and diplomatic niceties, since 1995 trade within the bloc has grown less than among countries outside it, or even between individual Mercosur members and other Latin American countries. Meanwhile, Mexico, under Nafta, has become an exporting powerhouse.

The British economist John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) grew up with a belief in free trade; this underpinned his criticism of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 for the damage it did to the interdependent European economy. After a brief flirtation with protectionism in the early 1930s, he came again to favour free trade so long as it was combined with internationally coordinated domestic economic policies to promote high levels of employment, and international economic institutions that meant that the interests of countries were not pitted against each other. In these circumstances, "the wisdom of Adam Smith" again applied, he said. George W. Bush and Hu Jintao of China meet while attending an APEC summit in Santiago de Chile, 2004 In Kicking Away the Ladder, development economist Ha-Joon Chang reviews the history of free trade policies and economic growth, and notes that many of the now-industrialized countries had significant barriers to trade throughout their history. The United States and Britain, sometimes considered the homes of free trade policy, employed protectionism to varying degrees at all times. Britain abolished the Corn Laws, which restricted import of grain, in 1846 in response to domestic pressures, and it reduced protectionism for manufactures in the mid 19th century, when its technological advantage was at its height, but tariffs on manufactured products had returned to 23% by 1950. The United States maintained weighted average tariffs on manufactured products of approximately 40–50% up until the 1950s, augmented by the natural protectionism of high transportation costs in the 19th century.[18] The most consistent practitioners of free trade have been Switzerland, the Netherlands, and to a lesser degree Belgium. Chang describes the export-oriented industrialization policies of the Four Asian Tigers as "far more sophisticated and fine-tuned than their historical equivalents". Some degree of protectionism is nevertheless the norm throughout the world. Most developed nations maintain controversial[citation needed] agricultural tariffs. From 1820 to 1980, the average tariffs on manufactures in twelve industrial countries ranged from 11 to 32%. In the developing world, average tariffs on manufactured goods are approximately 34%. Since the end of World War II, in part due to industrial supremacy and the onset of the Cold War, the U.S. government has become one of the most consistent proponents of reduced tariff-barriers and free trade, having helped establish the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and later the World Trade Organization (WTO); although it had rejected an earlier version in the 1950s (International Trade Organization or ITO).[22][citation needed] Since the 1970s U.S. governments have negotiated numerous managed-trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the 1990s, the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in 2006, and a number of bilateral agreements (such as with Jordan).
