The document discusses how the "market" conditions life and prioritizes capital accumulation over human needs. It notes that GDP, which is often used to measure the market, fails to account for many essential economic activities and goods. It also discusses how the financial system relies on endless debt creation without corresponding savings, and how public and private debt have become impossible to repay. The functioning of the market treats humans as instruments to extract value rather than as beneficiaries.

Despite all the artifices to neutralize the trend of decline of profit rates in the world capitalist system as predicted by Karl Marx in his great work The Capital, will not prevent its collapse over time because the political and social cost would be immense for humanity with its maintenance. Before the collapse, the world capitalist system will be ruined by the economic depression for many years resulting in his climbing the bankruptcy of many companies, the economic unfeasibility of the highly indebted nation states and mass unemployment on a global scale. Given the existence of the chaos that already dominates the world economy that is getting worse, it is time for each country and humanity provide themselves as urgently as possible tools necessary to take control of their destiny. To take control of his destiny humanity must take to end the world capitalist system to exercise governance of the world economy. This is the only means of survival of the human species.

Since the creation of the new world order in the aftermath of the Second World War, non-state actors have grown in both economic and political importance. While non-state actors such as multinational corporations, non-governmental organiza-tions, and international organizations have all been adopted into international relations literature, cities meanwhile have mainly been ignored. The paper provides examples of subnational actors in Brazil, Belgium, and the United States conducting international activities without the role of their central governments.

Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the housing situation in the post-crisis years in Spain and the Netherlands. Both countries are highly developed European Union (EU) countries and have expanded their economies since 2013. Similarly, both are experiencing a housing crisis with rapidly increasing prices and shortages. Spain suffers challenges related to its decentralized and unorganized housing management structure when it comes to implementing new policies, and the Netherlands needs to motivate housing corporations to construct more housing. This paper looks at various studies and reports as well as news related to policy changes and their effects from 2015 to the present day. Furthermore, the concept of social housing and the effects of related policies on both the people and the market are analyzed.
Keywords: Housing Market, Real Estate, Netherlands, Spain
With characteristic perceptiveness, Winston Churchill observed many decades ago: “Dictators ride to and fro on a tiger from which they dare not dismount. And the tiger is getting hungry.”
With China, the tiger in question is very big and very hungry. Per capita income in the PRC is just $11,000 per person, compared to $43,000 in the UK and $65,000 in the US. Stop and consider that statistic for a minute. Imagine that your income was multiplied by a factor of four, or five. Imagine how different your life would look. That’s how the average Chinese worker would regard the disparity between their income and yours.
This puts China smack bang in the centre of the “middle-income trap” - where a growing economy gets stuck, and often fails altogether, to make the transition to a high-income economy. The first part of the journey, from low-income to middle-income, is relatively simple.
You just need strong government oversight, an almost endless stream of obedient and extremely cheap labour, and a world market hungry for products that can be manufactured on a vast scale in labour-intensive industries.
But to take your economy over the next hurdle, from middle income to high income, is far more challenging. It requires a movement away from basic, assembly-line tasks and a leap into the knowledge economy, innovation, and high-tech, high-skill manufacturing.
In other words, it is a movement away from mass-volume industries where the greatest differentiator is price, and into value-added industries where customers are willing to pay a premium for the technology, the prestige, or the originality of the goods

Abstract
China’s rise brings various issues to the international stage. Terms such as the Thucydides Trap and Trade Wars have become common language and many fear for conflict between the United States and China. Especially in the 21st century, the relationship between the US and China will define the world. However, this paper argues that China does not pose a threat to the United States and the international order as the economic, military, and political circumstances do not facilitate such a great power tension. By directly analyzing the relationship between the US and China in these three areas, two policy recommendations can be drawn. This paper brings forth a dual grand strategy for the US to improve and support its domestic position to compete globally and present a more accessible alternative to lead internationally by building a more inclusive coalition and deterring some of China’s aggressions in South East Asia. As the world becomes more multipolar, the ability to balance power, engage developing nations, and build alliances will prove to be critical to any strategy.
Keywords: China; United States; foreign policy; great power tension; international security; Thucydides Trap; international order; trade wars; counterhegemony; South East Asia.
The article illustrates the results of the economic development of the first fifteen years of the XXI century under the conditions of unprecedented economic freedom, globalization and the appearance of new informational sectors up to and including the first attempts at revising liberalism. The analysis of statistical data demonstrates an obvious increase in the percentage of well-off people in many countries as well as the increased economic capabilities of small, medium and large businesses, whose assets are distributed among an ever-increasing number of owners. This provides the impetus to review our collective approach to liberalization and globalization, as well as to view its unexpected strong sides that make human progress possible.
The politics, economics, and rhetoric of inequality have been inescapable over the past year. Not since the Gilded Age have we had such vigorous debates over the concentration of wealth and the gap between the rich and the poor. And not just in the United States. In China, where new fortunes are minted daily; in Europe, where social nets are fraying amid economic crises; and in India, where a gleaming technology industry coexists with Dickensian poverty, income inequality is a prominent and often divisive debate.
Among the dozens of books on economics that have crossed my desk in recent months, three in particular have helped illuminate the nature and impact—and resilience—of inequality in our world. One, far and away the best and most important book on economics of the year, is an academic tome on the progression, regression, and rebirth of inequality in Western Europe and the United States. One is a journalistic narrative that takes us deep into modern China, where rampant growth is simultaneously lifting millions from poverty and spawning unprecedented inequality. And one is a memoir of the feverish crisis years in the United States’ financial system, which inadvertently explains how the financial industry was able to reconstitute its fortunes so rapidly after the epic debacle of 2008.
The theme we are dealing with in this article concerns economic planning, which is a very important issue for every society that wants to promote its economic and social development in an environment of high complexity and often chaotic changes, such as the one we live imposed by internal economic factors and also by external economic factors resulting from the country's participation in the global economy.

The logic of capitalism presents the production of goods and services as aiming the satisfaction of Humanity’s needs, extracting from this activity a surplus for investment in the increase or improvement of its productive capabilities; that is a lie, presented in the economy schools’ textbooks.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.

The 'market', gdp, and life

The 'market', GDP, and life
1 - The “market” conditions life
2 - The partner finance state
3 - GDP and covid
########### vvvvv ##########
1 - The “market” conditions life
Recently, the OECD offered to the "market", a very comprehensive picture of the economy for
the near future, through the much talked - as little strict, GDP. (see chart at the end).
In particular, the market is the place where normal people, sellers and, buyers of goods meet for
subsistence and trade.
In economics, the “ market ” is a tendency to a infinite and particularly nebulous extrapolation
from a market. In economic terminology, it is called "market" the ethereal space where they
intersect, businessess and very different powers - normal people, harmful pestilences, such as
capitalists (individual or collective) and political classes; goods, everything that transacts in the
“market” even if it has only a virtual existence; and money, lots of money (overwhelmingly in the
form of a record somewhere, in the accounts of the institutions of the financial system) and
money, of course, it too, a commodity, the main and most widespread of the goods, leaving...
covid-19 far behind.
The functioning of the “market” has not people as the beneficiaries or, as the objective of its
existence. The “market” takes the 7000 M of people that inhabit the planet as instruments for
the functioning of the “market” itself, as a large mine from which the human capacity for
transforming nature into goods and providers of services, more or less necessary, is extracted; it
also includes, goods and other elements, coisificados1, amortized till to be considered as
rubbish. As this drive is always scarce for the ambitions of capital, the limitations of the planet
need to be overcome; so what if a well-known top capitalist (Elon Musk) takes colonization and
the guaranteed fuss of Mars very seriously!
The operation of the "market" takes place, not because of the availability of goods and services
essential to life and the reproduction of nature (including human beings) but the consumer
products or services, electronic impulses necessary to thicken the already accumulated capital. If
this mechanism changes or destroy the environment, local or global; if it promotes suffering and
enormous lacks to a significant part of mankind; if it poisons or destroys fields and cities, these
are collateral damages, certainly surmountable by a rise in securities on the NYSE or NASDAQ,
making happy its holders. Those are the artisans that define, in essence, the contents of the

media and the creativity of their plumitivos2, by duty craft, little aware of the growing margin in
the uncontrolled own overall system management; devoting more to gossip, the fait-divers of
politics and football - Their master’s voices.
The S&P 500 (Standard & Poors) is a finished example of capitalism in this 21st century. It
includes the shares of the most relevant USA 500 companies, listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ
and they have the importance of defining the trends of the "market"; it is based on very
unrealistic ideas about the evolution and efficiency of investments based on ethereal elements
that may be separated into two groups;
those, related to transactions of land, natural resources, real estate, stocks, currency or
goods; elements with intrinsic materiality;
or, immaterial, virtual elements, such as patents, the values assigned to trademarks, the
assessment that makes the customer value of a company or, their software.

However, the value attributed to intangibles has shown itself to be more and more determinant
in the creation of the value attributed by the “market” (and a broken bag, called PIB), making it
ethereal, fragile and, in reality, unrelated with the lives of human beings in general. Since the
transactions based on purely conceptual elements, riding electrical impulses, their variations, set
in the financial voluptuousness, do not will leave to affect heavily, millions of human beings,
through the actions of governments and political classes in general, when something escapes to
capital accumulation designs. More than ever, the "market" is a game, a casino, which artificiality
has the particularity to produce its harmful effects on thousands of millions of human beings,
while fattening the elite that Manuel Castells, the beginning of the century, estimated at 1% of
the world population.
The entry into scene of coronavirus came to show the inability of capital institutions
(multinational companies and institutions, such as WHO, captured by private interests), without
forgetting the enormous responsibilities of governments, always agile in the impoverishment or
the withdrawal rights and, in evident bewilderment to overcome the consequences of the viral
invasion. As a result, the number of infected people continues to grow (more than 93 M of
people, including 2 M (jan 14th) of fatal victims, when the end of the one-year period that has
elapsed since the emergence of covid-19 is approaching. Only one Copernician change, creating
democracy, annuls nationalisms, state powers, political classes and, turns economy an
instrument of a harmonious encounter between Humanity and the planet.

Before protests and rebellions, there is always available, by political powers, one takes care of
the array of repressive or destructive resources ranging from various strains of police and
military, hierarchized based on bestiality, the bombing of cities, with the generation of millions
of refugees, in addition to the use of electronic warfare tools, "clean", able to settle specific
people or, raze cities. Saddam Hussein, even though he had several look - alikes - whom even
his guards did not recognize as such - ended up not escaping the execution ordered by the
occupier; and General Suleimani was shot down without an ancient protocolized declaration of
war or invasion. Trump is a greater symbol of post-fascist modernity.
What in the eighteenth century came to be called economy, consisted of the adaptation of
human effort to the satisfaction of needs. Capitalism has to be associated with the accumulation
of capital in the context of a deranged compulsion by looking for an infinite growth of GDP,
even though it only has a name since 1932. Despite this drive towards the infinite, the
satisfaction of real human needs - food, housing, health, peace and, education - is systematically
impaired to the detriment of capital accumulation, today, mostly in the form of electronic
records that multiply incessantly, without generating a bread crumb; but, stealing many crumbs
from those who do not live in the lust of financial speculation.
2 - The partner finance state
This madness developed by the financial system, to create a constant and accelerated creation
of money, has as counterpart credit creation, debt, from companies, families and, states, a
creation that does not correspond to concomitant use of savings; it corresponds to an
anticipation of the future, especially of future earnings that, within a current practice (economic
and political) may not exist. On the contrary, the formation of credit cascades by the financial
system proceeds without having any significant volume of savings in the balance. So, the
savings or simple deposits placed by people, as a form of annuity that gives them some security
in the future, are in no way guaranteed...even if the States ensure (... gravely...) € 100,000/person
in the case of banking laugh!
It is known that the financial system will never be able to return the amounts deposited by its
customers, just as it is known that public debts have an impossible repayment; although some
Portuguese economists, out of ignorance or reactionarism, pointed, some years ago, to a
restructuring of the Portuguese public debt, which in due time, we considered (as today) as
priceless as illegitimate [1] .
Thus, GDP intends to represent everything, representing, in reality, little. When someone
prepares a meal for you, it doesn't count towards GDP, but if you go to a restaurant you'll join
the “market” and then contribute to GDP! Aid for a young person in schoolwork only enters
GDP, if produced in an explanatory company, on a commercial basis. GDP only considers what is
traded in the "market", knowing that the transactions carried out in the market are, to a large
extent, external and, therefore, impossible to integrate the sanctified GDP. A major element of
integration in GDP is the value-added tax (VAT) which is levied on almost all purchases of goods
or services [2]; a whistleblower at the service of the State, the collective capitalist. Relating to
work, work effort, this integration is assured by the with holding tax on the remuneration of
4. Grazia.tanta@gmail.com 2/1/2021 4
labor (IRS). Finally, there is an interconnection between goods registered (and paid) by
companies as necessary for their activity (especially automobiles), but whose use is allowed to
capitalists and senior staff for their use in their private life, thus avoiding taxation of income
from work.
The purchase of war material counts as … investment in national accounts! Whether an
investment is a money application into something that allows the satisfaction of an individual or
collective need, it is clear that the military equipment is useless and is artificial to count to GDP
(see EU, the chart of accounts 2010, the SEC10). It should be noted that military spending
comprises a strong import to most countries since production is very concentrated in a few
number which, due to its sophistication, makes buyers (the vast majority of countries)
dependent on components or the load coming from abroad; a weakness inherent in the
respective geopolitics but which, as a rule, result in the inability to engage in wars, unless the
major producing powers or the smuggling networks feed the logistics.
In Portugal, it is estimated that an income corresponding to about 25 to 29% of GDP does not
count within the latter. And that disgusts all governments, always ready and eager to reduce
social costs and increase the revenue from taxes, fees, fines... as economists dislike, with a real
fixation on the infinite growth of GDP...
There is a constant struggle of the binomial States/political classes to frame, under their
knowledge and their enormous capacity for predation, the entire production of goods and
services, without exceptions, as if all transactions between humans have or should integrate a
commercial logic. Among the few situations where the States and political classes are tolerant
facing to a non - accounting in GDP, the main is, corruption; and, for obvious reasons, since they
strive for an open and happy life, achieved through lies and theft, with the distracted connivance
of the judiciary.
For all this oppressive and kleptocratic machinery to work, governments are needed where there
is a presence of mandarins embedded in the influence trade, young technocrats eager for
promotion and, plenty of imbeciles that history will not mention and that seek financial glory as
a result of favors to businessmen.
So, it is no wonder that the governmental caste grows, and grows substantially. In Portugal, the
first constitutional government, in 1976, had 18 ministers and 37 secretaries of state; the current
one has 27 ministers and 68 secretaries of state, not to mention tons of secretaries and advisers,
all paid for by the public purse.
3 - GDP and covid
According to the OECD, the outlook for GDP growth looks very promising for the next two
years. It is possible that after this annus horribilis (2020) the economic situation will prove to be
less disastrous, although this should not have repercussions on the unemployed waiting for
better days and, even less, on those who moved from old people's deposits (cynically referred to
as homes) to the cemetery. The production and sale of vaccines will certainly have effects on
GDP growth.

The balance between the savings available and the investment financed by them no longer has
any meaning, once the financial system runs on its track, separated from the real world; central
banks issue electronic circuits that will inflate the banks' availabilities, having, on the other hand,
credit rights over those, whose return will probably never happen.
So, by the end of 2020, the US FED made available to the big banks a billion (in the US it is a
trillion) dollars, as very short-term credits, in a concerted action with the other central banks
(ECB, and banks in Canada, Japan and, Switzerland) so that there is no shortage of dollars in the
market, at a time when funds will be distributed to the population to compensate for damage
resulting from the virus and the disastrous way in which it has been combated by the Trump
administration.
The US public debt remained stable between 1994 and 2008, between 5 4 and 63% of GDP; in
2009 , with the crisis of subprime came to 74 %, with 84% the following year and to 92% in
2011; growth, albeit slower, reached 107% in 2020 and 122% in April. In dollar terms this means
the passage of 4.5 trillion (billion in Europe) in 1994 to 9.2 in 2008, 14 in 2011 and 23.7 in last
April. A rain of money, a success...which left out the large range of poor people.
In Portugal, in the first ten months of the year , the impact of the measures adopted within the
scope of Covid-19 reproduced a value of € 7692.5 M, divided between revenue breaks and
expenditure increases (an amount equivalent to 3.6% of 2019 GDP) . The most relevant
contributions to these breaks are as follows:
Measures with an impact on revenue - € 1508.3 M (893.9 M and 611.1 M, respectively
within the scope of Central Administration and Social Security [3] and, essentially, consist
of a suspension of IRC payments (€ 791 M) and exemption from TSU [4] payments (€ 477
M); and also, suspensions of tax (€ 68.5 M) or contributory (€ 71.8 M) foreclosures,
certainly benefiting a good portion of typically relapsed and fraudulent entrepreneurs.
Measures impacting on spending - € 2356.2 M, highlighting € 819 M for the layoff, €
201.3 M to support the self - employed, € 368.4 M for health equipment and € 248.4 M of
various allowances.
And, of course, they are not included, the purchase of vaccines and correlated spending...
Observing the evolution of the public debt in the periods January / October in 2019 and 2020, it
is easily noted that the increase in debt in 2020 is about ten times greater than that recorded in
the previous year (in € million). Far beyond, therefore, the sum of increases in expenditure and
reduction in revenues.
2019 ( Jan / Oct) + 1225 M
2020 ( Jan / Oct) + 12896 M
The increase in debt is not always easy, given the very low level of interest rates (even negative)
and especially because the financial system needs to raise debt of states, to deliver to the ECB as
collateral for the funds that the central bank issues, with the objective, to be applied to the lust
6. Grazia.tanta@gmail.com 2/1/2021 6
of financial capital. The enrichment of this has little or nothing to do with peoples' lives,
increases inequalities but...it is positively reflected in the well-known GDP!
The EU has faced the pandemic through its usual narrow economistic way, recalling that in the
beginning, it was just a "common market"; and, thus, everything plans to solve with a focus on
the mobilization of money, of a Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) in force until 2027, to be
distributed among the member states, with Portugal having € 30000 M, to be contemplated in
the budgets and yet, € 15 300 M grants, without prejudice to the use of more loans.
Bureaucrats, of economistic or mere mandarins bias, experts in the trafficking of influences,
practicing brinkmanship paltry, just based its pressure on people, reducing their well-being, with
isolation, in the narrowing of distances and the frequencies in their movements, in the use of
masks and frequent use of alcohol-gel, which, as it turns out, have been of little use. They
discovered the wide range of vaccines to stick in the population, with variable prices [5] but
excluding those created by geopolitical, Chinese and, Russian challengers. And they look with
culpable indifference on the main victims of the virus, the elderly, especially if confined to
homes, defenseless before the plague that enters by the door or through family members; and,
that make up the overwhelming majority of cases of death by covid-19.
The graph below reflects the growth prospects advanced by the OECD for the next two years.
Perhaps it is, above all, the formulation of something that will comfort the peoples subjected to
fear of the covid-19 and its recent variant; and that, frightened, restricted and confined,
dismissed or placed in layoffs, they watch, frightened or rocked by the hype of the political
classes, to fatten financial capital.
