I'll start this article by saying that the battle goes for Rosia Montana, not a neutral observer. I chose the camp and therefore my point of view has a substantial dose of subjectivity. If the emotionally Rosia Montana is to preserve intact (to enjoy her grandchildren and our grandchildren), the rational viewpoint, however, are aware that each side has its drama right. And purely dialectical spirit, each camp has come to fight to uphold justice with a host of arguments, data, and visions for the future.
What I felt was missing anik f3 from my camp, the nature lovers, it is a strong economic argument for the preservation of Rosia Montana. What now follows is my attempt to fill this gap. They do not only a spurt emotional (because I love nature), not only citizenship (Romania needs a vibrant civil society more than all the gold on earth), but because anik f3 they are convinced that gold mining will create more economic problems than you solve.
To avoid wasting your time unnecessarily, I present here a summary of the basic arguments that will be discussed in detail below: exploitation of natural resources (gold, oil, natural gas) creates economic instability in most developing countries ( jump to section). The money generated anik f3 from the state budget of exploitation are unlikely to generate wealth for ordinary citizens (jump to section). Mining has little impact on local economies, and often ends up pawning their future (jump to section).
And because the analysis with recommendations is paralyzed, here a summary of ideas to transform Rosia Montana in a truly sustainable community: A Rosia Montana more accessible and visible (jump to section). A well integrated Rosia Montana regional (jump to section). A Rosia Montana where everyone can help, and where many do already (jump to section).
The two graphs below depict the economic performance of the two countries. On one side are countries that have developed organically promoting a eclectic, competition and innovation; on the other hand are the countries that generate much of their revenue from resource anik f3 exploitation. If first class is predicitbil upward growth for the second category, the economy anik f3 seems to be a victim of chance. That, although they started from a much higher base as that of developed countries - Kuwait and Qatar in 1950 had a GDP per capita triple the USA, Germany, or France.
The paradox of the countries that have natural resources (and therefore substantial revenue budget) but not stable economic development, the economic activity is known to the world as the "Dutch disease" (in English, The Dutch Disease). The term was born in 1977 after a review anik f3 of the magazine The Economist fall of the Dutch economy in 1959 That year, our friends in the West have discovered a substantial gas reservoir. Overjoyed that God has put his hand on the head, the Dutch were placed on exploited anik f3 ... and charged. Gas money began to come and fill state coffers - as everyone expected it. Unfortunately, as often happens in stories like this, it was not the end of the story. Shortly after starting to collect money on gas, the Dutch have noticed that other sectors of the economy - particularly industrial engine - have suffered. The real economy coughed anik f3 first, and then started making strange noises. A practical anik f3 contracted a disease. What illustrious figures from The Economist proceeded to explain their analysis can be summed as such: sustainable development can not be supported by easy money. In fact, if you study the development policies of the economic activity of developed countries, you will see that almost all make exploitation among the last priorities. anik f3 Many prefer to conserve the resources we have for really hard times.
How the Dutch disease is relatively simple operating. anik f3 For any country, the availability of resources is a great temptation. Operation and sale of these resources generates immediate revenue in excess of the real economy. But what at first seems a blessing, a curse is actually well disguised. Surplus revenue generated over the real economy that produces, put pressure on the national currency and a currency that appreciates discourages exports. Exploitation anik f3 basically compete directly with the real economy. Thus, every dollar out of the Rosia Montana gold will compete anik f3 with lions from other economic sectors. The problem is that these "other" economic sectorare are those that enable the sustainable development of Romania. A second problem is that the competition is Nelo
