Aristotle considered the man a social animal (zoon politikon), which develops its goals within a community, the state, but for him the state was a kind of natural being which does not arise as a result of a pact or agreement. In the eighteenth century Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote The Social Contract, a book on political philosophy is about freedom and equality of mankind under the rule established by a social contract. This is the basic idea of \u200b\u200bwhat would be the French Revolution, a way to return sovereignty to the people who had lost at the hands of the aristocracy and the absolutist monarchy. An alleged divine origin would have turned over all the king's absolute power. After more than 200 years of that revolution and an array of social struggles trying to defend the weak from the strong we are meeting with another absolute power, thanks to globalization, makes it practically useless all the social advances of more than two centuries. We managed to separate the absolute power, over which we had no control, we know the three branches, legislative, executive and judicial, got a parliamentary democracy that gave us control over the power that was supposed to emanate from the people and final return to be subjected to absolute power is called the Power of Financial Markets.
French Revolution In the absence of peaceful means to recover power the people had to take him by force and change the rules of the game. How can retake the power wielded by the financial markets ? I guess the only solution is social unrest capable of endangering the state itself and change the game again. In an interdependent world Markets are very powerful, but in essence that power is a mirage because the base is very weak, his feet are clay. A small country like Greece has been ready to topple the single European currency and cause a catastrophe on a planetary level. Under pressure from debt markets is greater pressure on States that will become a gun, tino increasingly, their own feet.
Our own body, like the societies that we are open systems far from equilibrium. When these systems become unstable (rev) return to find a new equilibrium based on the new environmental conditions. Markets can exert a linear drive with a clumsy situation, looking for a simple linearity is real and positive feedback thereby causing the system "swings" increasingly large and dangerous threatening the stability and own system to change its conditions mutates into a new stable solution. The feedback positively contributing to the rating agencies first encouraged an overweighting of assets, businesses and clearances and now known to exaggerate the pessimism about the solvency of the public debts of a number of countries (Miguel Boyer: "Making money betting on disaster" (El Pais, 30.04.2010)). 
pity that behind all this, which is well explained in a very sterile, there are plenty of stories of suffering and tragedy. There are thousands and millions of people and history repeats itself again and again. Always the same tragedy, selfishness treading the dignity of individuals. On systems far from equilibrium and History: History , dignity and butterfly effect. Some
detail: The order came from chaos, the butterfly effect.
Twaddle, repeat paragraph: "The exercise of market power that tends to drive linear awkwardly situations, looking for a simple linearity is not real and thus the positive feedback system causing "oscillations" increasingly large and dangerous threatening the stability and the system itself that changing conditions mutates into a new solution stable. "
What I call market are the Public Debt Financial, Bond , able to bend to the states themselves but can do virtually anything the citizens. A power beyond our control, over which we have no control , which decides on our property and our lives. Is there much difference with the absolute power of monarchs of the Old Regime?.
Very interesting, is not wasted : In December 1997, Ignacio Ramonet wrote an editorial in Le Monde Diplomatique with the title "Disarm the financial markets" in which he said, among other tasty things, that: "The disarmament of financial power should become a first-rate civic interest, if you keep the world in the next century becomes a jungle where predators impose their law. " Continue reading ... Financial markets against democracy.
