MERCANTILISM AND DEGLOBALIZATION(II)

Yes, I had already indicated in the first part of the article that the process of deglobalization was accelerating by leaps and bounds. Nationalism is gaining ground, and the dream of a world of free markets and open borders dissolves in its own inconsistency .

Times become interesting, with the roars of war sounding again in half the world. Europe, on the verge of an economic crisis, sees how England intends-if they ever decide-to say goodbye to their borders. Meanwhile, the internal dissidence grows, and is that the group of Visegrad, composed of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and the command Hungary, is not willing to give its arm to twist in the fight for their cultural identities, in front of a European Union that aims to advance in the integration.

Everything depends on how this is done, because to persist in the current status quo, the EU will not follow another path other than its decomposition. Recently, French President Emannuel Macron, has advanced the lines of a project to integrate a common army for all the European Union, as well as review the aspects indicated in the Schengen circulation space, trying to adapt it to the real demands of the population. It sounds good as a project, waiting for Germany not to impose its designs and continue with its project-historically unfinished -to throw Europe to the wolves.

The coming years will be key, as it seems that a new economic crisis is at the doors. The VIX indicator of volatility, blows up the alarms in the stock markets, while the global geopolitics continues to rise in temperature. It is expected to continue the escalation of oil , because years of disinvestment have left the productive capacity at minimum. Also, OPEP has announced new cuts and in April will come back into force, the cuts to Iran. Meanwhile, Russia could join the club of cuts and continues to increase the tension in Venezuela.

The perfect cocktail for a $ 100 raise.

The weakness of the economy, could not withstand this rise in inflation, may result in the anticipation of the next crisis and the rise of different nationalism.El world, is navigating in rough waters, awakening in the form of a storm after decades of neoliberal and aseptic calm.

The next few years will be uncertain, and Bitcoin, gold and silver, the only refuges.
