Argentina: Moving Away from a Transitional Archetype (*)

The completion of the first year of macroeconomic change in Argentina allows thinking that there is a true possibility for initiating a new stage that might leave behind clientelism which is the natural democratic model of cultures where strongmen (caudillos) have a significant role and recognition in the society. It is a long road that demands decades as you can observe by studying the history of Sweden and Spain.

Any change of a culture begins by developing an economic change. This is the law of social evolution. And the active function of economic growth in the micro-economy in a capitalist country, while the macroeconomy provides the security framework that fosters microeconomic expansion.

The social scenario defines the purpose of a country, which is strongly conditioned by the cultural archetype and evolves driven by the economic scenario. The economy is the active function of the functionality of a country and is sustained by the political scenario that sustains the purpose of the culture.

Argentina has been in a transitional archetype due to multiple factors among them the social recognition of strongmen (caudillos) is one of the most influential, which naturally develops a clientelist model that hinders the introduction of representative democracy.

The lack of institutionalization is a natural consequence of the action of strongmen (caudillos) The basic characteristics of transitional archetypes are the lack of growth, the disregard of consensus, the decline of justice, and the acceptance of corruption.

The Lack of Growth was the Trigger for Inflation

The systematic use of inflation as a redistribution model was the natural approach in a culture that has still not decided to develop as a representative democracy in a capitalist world. There has never been a true intention of developing a national capitalism that coexists with international investments and allows driving the growth of a culture.

Inflation through monetary emission as a tool for immediate growth highlights a strategic choice that prioritizes short-term gains over sustainable, long-term economic development.

This approach in Argentina has led to structural imbalances that threaten future stability, as governments have relied on increasing money supply to stimulate economic activity rather than fostering genuine, underlying growth.

The Binary Actions of the Long-Term Goal

The long-term goal of transitioning to a non-transitional archetype with a representative democracy in a capitalist context involves orchestrating two foundational binary actions that harmonize the social, economic, and political scenarios of a country. They work as catalysts because social evolution cannot be driven, just catalyzed. This approach fosters sustainable growth and evolution, moving beyond the limitations of transitional archetypes.

  1. Integrating Social and Economic Scenarios: This binary action emphasizes the fusion between local capitalism and international investments. The purpose here is to catalyze the building of an economic framework that encourages industrial growth while being open to international capital. Participation in stock exchanges gives the broader society access to capitalism’s benefits, creating opportunities for wealth distribution.
  2. Integrating Social and Political Scenarios: The second binary action in a capitalist, representative democracy is ensuring the possibility of political alternation. Integrating these scenarios is crucial for stability, as it ensures that political changes do not disrupt the country’s structural foundations. The goal is to enable political alternation that reflects evolutionary needs and societal progress, rather than causing erratic shifts.

By adopting these catalyzing binary actions, Argentina can align short-term and long-term planning to consistently improve standards, thus moving away from the culture of facileness. People need to be able to see the horizon to address the challenges of a transition.

Brazilian Scenario: Sustaining Competitiveness (*)

The recent fiscal adjustment package introduced by the Brazilian government was anticipated to stabilize the currency and allay investor skepticism. However, its inadequate scope led to continued unease, highlighting functional and dysfunctional consequences. The attempt to stabilize was the active function, whereas the continuity of investor distrust and weakening currency was the dysfunctional consequence. This scenario displays opportunities for reassessment of fiscal policies to improve investor confidence and currency stabilization.

The social aspect of this scenario involves the public’s and investors’ response to economic uncertainties, potentially affecting Brazil’s social capital. Economically, the anticipated aggressive increase in the Selic rate to 14.25% aims to curb inflation, albeit with significant implications for economic growth and purchasing power.

Functional Consequences:

  1. Currency Stabilization: The expected result of Brazil’s fiscal adjustment package was to stabilize the currency. When functional, such measures can lead to increased investor confidence, reduced speculation, and a more stable economic environment.
  2. Interest Rate Management: By potentially raising the Selic rate to control inflation, the policy aims to slow down excessive consumption and borrowing, ensuring sustainable economic growth. This addresses inflationary pressures.
  3. Fiscal Balance Achievement: Achieving fiscal balance would underpin economic stability by reducing deficits and ensuring long-term economic health. It can lead to a stronger credit profile for the country globally.

Dysfunctional Consequences:

  1. Continued Currency Depreciation: The Brazilian real’s depreciation signifies the inadequacy of the fiscal measures, leading to increased import costs, inflation, and purchasing power erosion, making the economy vulnerable to external shocks.
  2. Increased Economic Uncertainty: The perceived insufficiency of policy measures fosters investor distrust.
  3. Rising Interest Rates and Economic Slowdown: Higher interest rates, while necessary to combat inflation, may constrain economic growth and increase the cost of borrowing, leading to a potential slowdown in economic activities and negatively affecting businesses and consumers.

Sustaining Competitiveness

The ontogenetic map of economic growth in this scenario reveals that Brazil’s GDP growth is influenced by fiscal balance, technological development, monetary circulation, and competitiveness. This scenario underscores how fiscal balance is not just an adjustment “variable” but crucial for economic stability.

Substitution of the Primary Election System In Argentina (*)

The PASO (Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primaries) system in Argentine elections provides a mechanism where all voters, regardless of party affiliation, can participate in selecting candidates for the general election. From a unicist functionalist perspective, this approach may lead to certain dynamics that influence institutionalization.

Firstly, by allowing cross-party voting, the distinctive institutional identity of political parties could be diluted. Political parties function as institutions with their own ontogenetic logic, characterized by specific values, ideologies, and goals. The PASO system might blur these institutional boundaries by enabling voters to influence the candidate selection process of other parties. This can hinder the clear definition and preservation of the institutional purpose and functions of each party.

Secondly, the internal institutionalization of parties can be inhibited in such a system. Institutionalization requires backward-chaining thinking, where a party’s internal processes and leadership development are aligned with its long-term transcendent goals. The influence of non-affiliated voters during primaries might skew candidate selection toward short-term popularity, possibly undermining the strategic coherence and deeper values of the party.

Evaluating the consequences of this system using the unicist functionalist approach shows that it can create both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, it may enhance democratic participation and responsiveness to broader social needs, aligning with the individual and social axes by potentially increasing value to the voter base. On the other hand, it might impede the necessary institutional maturity and evolution of parties, because the transcendent goals (essential for sustainable institutional growth and functionality) could be compromised by immediate individual and social gains.

Re-Institutionalization of Political Parties

Political parties have a functionality that distinguishes them. Their purpose is to foster the functionality of a country in a way that is consistent with its archetype. Their active function involves adhering to a specific ethic that defines their actions and promoting an ideology that unites their members.

The functionality of political parties in a representative democracy is essential for driving a country’s consistency with its cultural archetype, with a specific ethics and ideology that provide a cohesive framework for its members. This triadic functionality involves a purpose, active function, and energy conservation function, ensuring the proper functioning and influence of political institutions. The introduction of the PASO system in Argentina has shifted the focus toward short-term popularity by integrating popular figures and emphasizing the voter base’s immediate preferences.

This shift might hinder the ability of political parties to develop and implement long-term strategies aligned with institutional purposes. As the PASO system underscores the presence or absence of institutional maturity, it becomes a testing ground to reveal which parties have the capability to think strategically beyond mere electoral success. The potential shortcomings of this system become evident when assessed against the maturity of bipartisan systems that inherently balance government and opposition roles in a democratic system.

In well-institutionalized bipartisanship, the active function is performed by the governmental party while the opposition serves the energy conservation function, ensuring a dynamic balance essential for adaptive governance. Argentina’s political landscape, as highlighted by the PASO system dynamics, might struggle with establishing institutionalized parties necessary for fostering sustainable and coherent political landscapes.

Elections 2024 – What is Happening in Romania? (*)

The shock victory of nationalist Călin Georgescu in Romania marks a critical juncture within the social and political landscape. In a country navigating the complexities of EU and NATO integration, such a development reverberates with implications for both internal cohesion and international relations.

The purpose of this scenario is to assess the stability within the EU and NATO frameworks. The active function is represented by the political dynamics and public sentiment, driven by populist narratives and media influence, such as social platforms like TikTok. The energy conservation function is the strategic management of international alliances and diplomatic positioning to preserve national interests and stability.

The ontogenetic map of this political scenario involves:

  • The backdrop of national identity and post-communist transition and its reflections in voter sentiment and resistance to external influence.
  • The rise of social media as a catalyst in political campaigns, altering traditional campaigning and communication.
  • The suspicion and implications of foreign interference, impacting national security and sovereignty considerations.
  • Western alliances and partnerships as stabilizing factors against potential foreign influence.
  • The adaptability of existing political structures and policies to manage nationalist sentiments and potential disarray.

Causes of Georgescu’s victory may include: public disillusionment with established parties, effective social media strategies, external influences, nationalist appeal, and socio-economic conditions.

Functional consequences could lead to increased nationalistic policies, potential reassessment within EU/NATO, and amplified public discourse on sovereignty.

Dysfunctional consequences involve political instability, potential diplomatic frictions, regression in EU/NATO integration efforts, and exacerbated division within society.

Opportunities lie in fostering dialogue on national identity, leveraging media for positive engagement, bolstering cyber-security efforts to prevent interference, and reinforcing democratic principles and alliances.

Social and economic aspects include public sentiments on national versus supranational governance, potential shifts in economic policies reflecting nationalist viewpoints, and the socio-economic divides influencing political leanings.

The Challenge for the Next Generation

Analyzing the Romanian elections from a unicist functionalist perspective highlights the dynamics at play when young people face challenges in finding a place in larger entities like the EU. The aspiration to integrate as peers within the EU can often stimulate nationalistic responses, as a mechanism to affirm social value and identity. 

In functional terms, such nationalistic responses can be seen as a mechanism to assert the archetype of the nation, fostering social cohesion to enhance the sense of belonging and cultural integrity. This is particularly significant for young people, who may perceive their social and economic roles as undervalued in a larger, more competitive environment. Nationalism, in this sense, serves the purpose of energy conservation, ensuring that the unique cultural and social identity of Romania is preserved amid external pressures for integration.

The challenge remains for political entities to institutionalize these responses through strategic long-term objectives, effectively aligning nationalistic sentiments with constructive, integrative goals that embrace shared European values.

The Functionalist Economic  Approach to Foster Development

The Unicist Functionalist Economy proposes a structured approach to defining and achieving economic goals. It begins by identifying what is possible to achieve given the present circumstances. This involves understanding the current cultural archetype, the dominant concept of work, and the fundamentals of economic behavior. These elements set the boundaries within which actions must be taken.

Next, it defines the actions needed to improve future circumstances. This step involves introducing catalysts to expand the power of work and increase the level of technology in the environment. These catalysts are essential for driving economic growth and expanding the field of possibilities.

Finally, this definition of possibilities serves as an input for systemic approaches to define operational actions. These actions must be aligned with the established limits and cultural context.

 By following this structured approach, the Unicist Functionalist Economy ensures that economic solutions are both feasible and sustainable, tailored to the specific cultural and social contexts, and capable of driving long-term growth and evolution.
