Txiki-txikitatik argi zuen handitzen zenean ekonomia ikasiko zuela. Boterea zer den ulertu nahi zuen. Bere ibilbideak Ingalaterrara eraman zuen hamabost urtez, eta gaur egun BC3 ikerketa-zentroan ari da lanean. Errekurtso urriak nola ustiatu aztertzea da bere eginbeharretako bat. Jarraian, gure gaurko ikertzaile protagonista gertutik eta sakon ezagutzeko aukera izango dugu.
"Kaixo, Unai Pascual naiz, Ikerbasque ikerlaria, eta Basque Centre For Climate Change zentroan egiten dut lan.
Ekonomia Zientziak ikasi nituen hemen, Bilbon, uste nuelako mundua hobeto ulertzeko boterea nondik nora dabilen jakin behar dela, eta boterea eta dirua edo baliabideak beti uztartuta bezala ikusi ditut. Txikitatik, oso gaztetatik, ekonomia ikastea erabaki nuen.
Suerte puska batekin Mexikora, Yucatanera, joateko aukera izan nuen. Han doktore-tesia egin nuen. Lurraren narriadura eta pobreziaren inguruko gogoeta batzuk egin nituen. Eta gero Ingalaterran hamabost urte eman ditut. Garai luzea izan da, eta han hiru unibertsitatetan ibili naiz: Yorken, Manchesterko Unibertsitatean eta azken zortzi urteak Cambridgeko irakasle.
Urte bat daramat BC3 zentro honetan ikerketa egiten. Alde batetik, aldaketa klimatikoaren eta gizartearen arteko erlazioak ikertzen ditut ekonomiaren ikuspuntutik. Eta bestetik, aldaketa klimatikoak gure inguruan eta gure bioaniztasunean sortzen dituen arazoak aztertzen ditut. Bioaniztasuna behar dugu gure gizartearen ongizaterako; ez bakarrik gure ongizaterako, baita hurrengo belaunaldiek edukiko dituzten aukera horiek zabalik uzteko ere.
Baliabide urriak nola ustiatu, nola bana daitezkeen esaten digun zientzia da ekonomia. Giza zientzia bat, alegia. Eta ingurumen-ekonomia edo ekonomia ekologikoa da gure baliabide naturalak nola ustia ditzakegun esaten digun zientzia. Basoak nola ustia daitezkeen esan diezagukeen zientzia bat da, baita petrolioa edo beste mineralak nola ustia daitezkeen ere, baita beste edozein baliabide urri ere. Gaur egun, aldaketa klimatikoari buruz hitz egiten dugunean, atmosferari edo aireari erreparatzen diogu, karbonoari, ozonoari... Baliabide horiek urriak zirela ikusi arte, ez genien garrantzi handirik ematen. Orain urriak direla konturatzen gara, gizarteari eragiten diotela, eta ekonomilariok analizatu egiten ditugu, beste baliabideekin egiten dugun bezala.
Gure eguneroko bizitzan eragin diezaguketen gauzei buruz gobernuei informazioa ematen diegu. Gauzak nola hobeto ustiatu, edo zergatik ezarri behar diren zergak. Horiek izugarrizko eragina daukate guregan, gure egunerokoan, gainera. Nik uste dut ingurumen-ekonomian ere badugula zer esanik, hobeto ulertzeko zer egin behar dugun gure ongizatea handitzeko.
Gure lana pixka bat berezia da, baina ez dut uste dohai berezirik behar denik. Nik uste konstantzia eta bokazioa izanda ia edozein izan daitekeela ikerlari. Jakin-mina behar dugun zientzian aurrera egiteko.
Agian, atletek daukaten alde txar hori, beti entrenatu beharra, lasaitzerik ez izatea, izan daiteke gure lanaren alderik txarrena. Beti jakinaren gainean egon behar dugu azken aurkikuntzari buruz, eta lehiakorrak izan. Lehia handia dago hor aurre-aurrean egoteko eta ahalik eta ikerketa onena sortzeko.
Nik uste dut daukagun gauzarik onena dela konturatzea gizarteak bere egiten dituela guk proposatutako aurrerapausoak, nahiz eta aurrerapausoak txikiak izan. Esango nuke nik suerte handia daukadala, eta munduan zehar bidaiatzeko aukera eman didala eta ematen didala".

(Paperback) The Great Depression and The New Deal is a new title from Oxford University Press in its terrific eseirs of Very Small Introductions. This topic will draw considerable debate from those interested in the factional aspects of economic theory but the author (and I) leave that for the reader to judge for themselves. Eric Rauchway is a Professor of History at the University of California, Davis and has done a remarkable job of putting together an interesting little book which, without pretending to present everything, covers this remarkable period with both old an new perspectives. Starting with the end of The Great War, Rauchway goes into the boom time of the Roaring 20 s and into the Wall St Crash of 1929. He points to excessive levels of cheap credit and high levels of debt as a major factor in the impact the Crash had on America, which parallels the present Global financial Crisis. Efforts by the Hoover administration to contain the effects failed and by the time Roosevelt took office in 1933, unemployment stood at around 25%. With a clear mandate and a major crisis on his hands, Roosevelt and his crew acted swiftly and instituted a eseirs of reforms to stabilise the problem in order that it could be acted upon. To do this he took on the banks and brokers in defiance of those who considered him a traitor to his class. Many would have seen it the other way around but it was a brave move anyway you look at it and it had to be done. The book goes on to describe many of the programs such as the CCC and CWA which took on so many of America''s unemployed. Purists will argue that this didn''t solve any problems but that point of view fails to take into account the fact that these programs had three positive effects. Firstly, they helped to prevent the population from starving. Secondly, they prevented many people from turning to crime and thirdly, they built an enormous amount of infrastructure, ranging from dams to dog pounds. Rauchway doesn''t argue that these programs were without their shortcomings and illustrates how some were directly open to corruption but he does argue and for what it''s worth, I agree that the US was better off for having them, even if they could only ever be temporary. Unemployment fell from 24% to 9% in five years, only spiking again for the 1938 recession. The truth of it is that the economy didn''t recover until wartime production took up the slack and money started moving again. Anyone who doubts how severe the conditions of the time were would do well to think of the small shanty towns which grew up around major cities as homeless people moved around looking for work. A quarter of the population was without support. People starved to death. This is a great little book and as good an introduction to the subject as I can imagine.ngUWlzqG 2012/03/20

Muy bueno Xabi, tienes toda la razón.En mi caso particular lo he visto de cerca en, voy a decir, dos ocasiones.1. En la Escuela de Vela donde doy clase: si no das autoridad al profesor/monitor mientras éste da la clase y te quedas pasmado dudando de su capacidad y ayudando al nene/a a que lo haga todo: NO aprende. Si no dejas que el niño lo pase mal y se divierta sólo: no lo hará nunca. Si no le haces ver, ayudándole, que el esfuerzo (a veces sufrimiento) le va a llevar a mejorar y conseguir hacerlo como los mejores: nunca querrán ir solos en su barquito.2. En el colegio: voy a explicar una anécdota.Nosotros, grupo de 4 ó 5 niños (sólo niños, porque no habÃÂa niñas) éramos de los “malotes” de la clase. Con 12-13 años se nos ocurrió la brillante idea de llamar a la policÃÂa desde un teléfono que habÃÂa en un despacho y donde se habÃÂan dejado la ventana abierta. Llamamos y les dijimos que en el colegio estaban traficando con drogas, por supuesto que era mentira. Al dÃÂa siguiente, como siempre eramos los mismos, nos sacaron a todos de clase los tutores y nos dijeron que se habÃÂan enterado de lo que habÃÂa pasado. Llamaron a nuestros padres para decirles que nos iban a expulsar unos dÃÂas a todos, hubieramos sido nosotros la persona que estaba al teléfono o no. “Casualmente” fui al único que no expulsaron. Y digo “casualmente” porque mis padres, tal como les dijeron en el colegio, fueron los únicos que fueron ahàa dar la cara, a enterarse de qué habÃÂa pasado y a buscar la solución para su hijito que habÃÂa hecho una cabronada! Asàque… las cosas parece que no cambian.Mis amigos del colegio son gente de bien, pero podÃÂan no haberlo sido.Respecto lo del “tipo” de gente… ahàno tengo mucho que decir, simplemente acepto lo que dices, no lo firmaba.N discounted nexium pill viagrafmuBEocIoD 2012/04/10
It really depends on you. The logical answer is to pay off your debts, particularly if they are credit card debts. It’s unlikely that you’ll make as much in interest as you are being charged on your credit cards. Furthermore, if you got into a financial bind, your (now paid off) cards could provide a financial cushion.Emotionally, you may feel more secure with cash in the bank, even if you have a lot of outstanding debt. You may have a difficult time saving, or find that you run up debt easily. Locking these funds into a CD that you can’t touch may be the best thing for you.So it really depends on what drives you and how you handle money. If you’re not sure, wait three months and then make a decision. Nothing needs to be decided today and a little time to reflect won’t cost you anything. cheapest auto insurance online auto insuranceNWNMczwbJe 2012/04/12

Getting rid of your debt, whenever possible, is always the best strategy. Then make a plan to stay debt free. If you can do this effectively, then you can take the savings that would otherwise be debt, and set monthly/yearly goals. Staying debt free will always be a challenge, but in these difficult economic times, you will be surprised how many “luxuries” you can learn to live without. Added to this, you have the advantage of having a secure job. Remember the old adage “cash is king”. Good Luck car insurance cialis
