I am from Spain xdddd
Alright, I said this last time and I’ll say it again, that M1 money supply graph is incredibly misleading. Most of that change was due to a change in accounting at the US fed for M1. The M2 money supply is a much more accurate measurement of the coronavirus change in money supply. I hope you can see this Mr Australian economics man.
pls do economy of poland
you forgot to mention the eu recovery fund tho. spain will get quite a lot of money from that one...
How about we get a video about that M1 money supply chart but for a US outlook?
This man single handedly rescues the entire stock footage industry.

@@EconomicsExplained The problem is that video imagery is very powerful. Stock content may be cost-effective, but you are talking about the potential dichotomies that Spain encounters in it's economy and your video content sends a message that is at odds with your audio message. The place looks just loaded with money! You might want to include some video content that shows the harsher side of living in the Spanish economy. Even when you talked about the massive increase in unemployment in the late 80s your video content wasn't that harsh, just some people walking about. Most of your video shows the wonderful weather in Spain against a backdrop of historic buildings with a nice bit of blue sea thrown in. It gave me the visual impression that there is nothing to worry about and that undervalues your audio content.
I’m more exercised by the dangling participles in the script. #AnalsUnited ;-D
:D my thought as well! Well used, though.
"A huge waste of time at best; or a huge waste of money at worst." Definitely sounds like an economist. :)
And a perfect sentence to describe life in Spain.
😂
but I thought time was money anyways
Considering the fact that time is money
That statement is redundant
@@mcseedat my thoughts exactly
Is it just me, or he forgot to put Spain on the international leaderboard? I am particularly curious about that, I have been living in Madrid for the past 4 years, and I totally agree with the his analysis, though I have also seen massive foreign investments over the past 20 months or so, especially in IT, and on the other hand the government struggling to keep public hospitals and centros de salud open
The engineering education in spanish university is quite good(hard) , as ppl tends to take 5, 6 or even more years to get a bachelor degree. If you graduate from UPM, UPC, UPV or any other university with any engineering major, then you will get a solid base for your job. The biggest question is that the compensation for your hard working in uni doesn't exist. The employment rate is so low that you can not find a job where your skill would be valued. That's the reason why so many spanish engineer move to other country.
Yes, thats exactly it
I am graduated from a relatively Unknown university from Catalonia (URV) which suports the petrochemical industry at Tarragona. The quality of our knowledge has nothing to envy to other great educational centres but, as stated on your comment the compensation is far from good. I know that with the years and senior Roles pay will increase but this doesn't makes up for the underpayment we suffer in our 20's and early 30's. From the Nuclear consulting sector wich I've been involved it means around 25k after taxes which, athough over the median does not compensated having to start to work at around 25 after achieving a master's
Sooo many many middle-class and lower-class people have been struggling for sooo many years in spain. It's hard to see from all those gorgeous aerial drone shots.
That's what I was thinking, I've been to most of these places and I don't remember feeling this lightness which is shown here. Spain has been stolen. Such a beautiful country with probably the best people around.. What a shame
Spanish people have been living in what they call crisis for years. They still go out for beers three times a week. I'll believe a drone shot over the complaints of a Spanish person.
@@ignazioacerenza9881 alcoholic minimum wage employees also go out for drinks 3 times a week, mostly to cope with the stress if struggling. That doesn't mean anything.
Then again, it's much easier to ignore problem when it's obscured by a facade of success.
@@pennyforyourthots My point was that what is considered a crisis by Spanish people is a joke compared to what southamericans africans and middle-easterns endure. I have to listen to people complain about not being able to buy a second car while in my country, not twenty years ago, people were jumping off the balconies because their life savings were gone overnight. That was my point.
@@ignazioacerenza9881 Suppose you were to go to a police station to complain about being mugged and police tell you there's someone who has been raped.
What's your point?
There are failed states in the world, so people shouldn't complain about mismanagement of their countries?
The sceneries in Spain are truly breathtaking...
I shouldn’t laugh but..🥴🤣🤣🤣
@@totalnewb123 I hate to dish out the "but" 😂
@Drom Assault I have sick sense of humor. Pay no mind.
You are welcome to come enjoy them!!! (and we need your money please come 😅)
you talking about the ugly towns and comie blocks on seasides which look overbuilt ugly and not appealing to the eye. its ok i wont vist they said tourists are not welcome
We're not that bad either; Spain is the 12th richest country in the world with respect to its economic wealth, its citizens are the 13 richest in the world (median net wealth per inhabitant, 2018) surpassing the US and Germany and having reached 3rd in early century, more development (HDI) than France, exports more than England (395 B € vs 397 B $), with the 18th largest army (2021), has the 7 best infrastructure system and the lowest emigration in Europe, being the 10th with more immigration in the world, all with one of the best quality of life in the world

Exactly

Spaniard here. I'd like to point out that apart from political instability (possible Catalonia secession) you have not covered that we have one of the eldest populations in the world. Many young people during the 2008 crisis moved to other countries for employment (such as myself to Australia). Many of them have not come back and I feel that after this Covid crisis many young ones will migrate again.
1 year ago and we havent lost more population that we have gained.
The problem lies with very well prepared individuals, thats were we are still losing population.
Brain drain is a problem, i think it will be turn in this decade, if the growth in the tech sector continues as is doing today (in Spain)
Time will tell, but im 25 and i dont see he future so dark.
@@joaquincimas1707 Would the digital nomad visa approved recently bring in people with money to spend in Spain and boost its economy? May be it could also open up the country for startups who think the US and other countries are too expensive? Anyway, where do most Spaniards go these days for jobs? Edit: What about becoming an outsourcing hub like China, Philippines and India are to Asia?
You are forgetting Spain has one of the smallest national population living abroad and that the inmigrants are more than the expats...
And that Catalonia won't go away from Spain, as the nationalist movement had lost important part of its power last years, if they weren't able to be independent before, they won't in a near future.
@@joaquincimas1707 with artificial intelligence taking over tech jobs, what is the future of Spain?
Possible secession? That's a lie. It's literally impossible for Catalonia to leave Spain, that's a lie that's actually leaving them with a breathtaking situation as lots of companies are moving to Madrid. I am also one of the young people that moved outside Spain around 2008 but I came back in 2014, here u live much better than in most of the countries aut there.
Please continue this series for every country.

I hear, see, read so many negative comments about Spain and it's precarious economic situation, But you know what...? I have lived here for 17 years now and have to say that Yes, there are problems here of course...., just as there are everywhere else in the world.. The difference is that here folks do not fret daily over the situation, they just accept it, make the best of it and carry on with life. It is absolutely pointless in worrying ceaselessly over things which we personally not control, just be aware of them, make the best of the situation and carry on living in which is still, after all a pretty good standard and way of living here..!

“Spain should probably be the strongest nation on Earth, always destroying itself and coming back”

Isn't that a quote from Otto von Bismark?
"I am firmly convinced that Spain is the strongest country of the world. Century after century trying to destroy herself and still no success“
This is fake
Spain also destroyed latin America. Siphoned trillions in todays currency for centuries and left those countries broken and in absolute turmoil. Spaniards are not very much loved in America, because they have not shed their colonial mentality.
@@Teporame Another bot saying lies. Spain built Latin America, all the infrastructures, everything. When they left, they left a very rich world power, it is your fault for having made it a third world. If you have something, it is thanks to the Spanish
@@Teporame ??? Sabes que 0.1 es mayor que 0 ¿verdad? cuando España llego no había nada salvo unos imperio extremadamente anticuados en comparación y España los modernizó, decir que España destrozó latino américa es simplemente estúpido, tu queja es simplemente que cuando España se fue no erais mágicamente la primera potencia mundial, aunque en teoría dejo unos estados bastante normales para los estándares de la época, ni ricos ni pobres. 200 años más tarde y sois 3er mundistas y cualquier pais de latinoamerica que llego a ser rico decidió destruir su riqueza, no eches la culpa a España de vuestro fracaso.
Spain and Portugal have beautiful places, absolutely.
Todos os países tem lugares bonitos lol
15:16 that graph is pretty misleading. One of the vertical axies starts from 0, the other doesn't. At first glance it looks like the money supply of both currencies increased by about the same factor. But the USD has more than quadripled, while the EUR is a bit more than doubled.
And I think they even changed the definition of M1 in the US. So, the graph doesnt reflect reality?
It's funny because a more competent graph would just prove his point of the euro supply growing slower than the dollar
quadripled?
Graphic shitfuckery should not be a feature imo... it's a shame really
to be fair, his claim of usd supply growing faster is still true. but as @Get Crepuscular already said, a better graph would've prove his point even more
One of the biggest handicaps of Spain´s economy is "chorizos"; not the delicious meaty ones that you eat but the ones in the congress and the government.
Spaniard here. The corruption in government here is VASTLY blown out of proportion. The real problem lies within the businessmen and the workers themselves, not to mention the real trademark of our country "La Picaresca" (look it up) which contaminates every-single-aspect of our lives and is, honestly, the cancer of this country.
@@Angel-wo8gv Que cantidad de chorradas dicen los cainitas simpre.
@@Angel-wo8gv This attitude is also a hallmark of a large swath of Italian society as well - it's closely linked to the problems the government has with tax enforcement and collection.
@@Angel-wo8gv wrong
jaja! ♥ que razón tienes
One thing that holds back the Spanish economy, which you haven't mentioned is that, as I understand it, all self-employed people in Spain are required to pay €285 per month in social security contributions. This punitive 'tax' is a huge barrier to business creation at the micro level and also encourages the black economy.
Over regulation of the labour market is something asked specifically by the Spanish voters themselves. As long as their education in economics is bad, they will continue to demand unrealistic and damaging politics from the government. The Spanish government is under pressure and sometimes in order to guarantee political stability, read to maintain a four year term mandate, they succumb to the unreasonable demands of the many uneducated voters.
It’s not just a social security contribution, it also buys the autónomo and their family healthcare, plus parental leave, unemployment, etc. These are niceties that a freelancer in the US could only dream about when they’re just getting started, because they would cost so much money. (Particularly the health insurance!) The amount paid also varies based on the age of the autónomo and how long they’ve been in business. It starts at €60/mo, which is a pretty low price to pay for all those benefits. It takes two years to get to the full €300/mo. It’s supposed to be reformed soon to make it cheaper or costlier depending on earnings. Who knows when though.
@@shinyshinythings Thank you for the detailed answer. What happens if you have a hobby-cum-business? For example I sometimes earn a modest amount of royalties from song-writing. There are periods when I earn nothing at all. How would the Spanish system work for someone like me? By the way Performing Rights Societies routinely report royalties to the tax authorities, at least they do in the UK and US and I imagine it's the same in Spain, so not declaring the income isn't an option even if it might be a temptation.
@@burgendefadrik1909 Jorge. Muchas gracias por la información.
@@davidcufc You will pay as much as anyone, that's all, the thing is that without paying that tax you can work, but you can't make bills because you are not an "autónomo" so you theorically can't receive any money from other people because your service is not legal
This channel has a strange fixation for predicting catastrophic consequences for the Spanish economy. A year has passed since the publication of this video and Spain economy is one of the strongest in the EU, controlling the inflation and creating more job positions than ever.

Spain is a very unfriendly business country. I live and work here as a freelancer, the tax system is very high (not as high as countries like Germany or Switzerland) but still. Living in Spain mean paying taxes on your worldwide income, and if you want to open and run a company it is very difficult and very costly. I think if they were a lot more business friendly they could balance out their economy and be less tourist oriented, it would attract tons of people too because even in these circumstances it attracts people.
@Impersonal Immigrant no thank you
Well, taxes in Switzerland is quite low
@@samis1219 are you in Zug? Because if you're not, and you live in Geneva, then your statement is simply not true (income tax + health insurance cost)
The tax system is actually higher in Spain than in Switzerland, Switzerland leads all Europe in % of the benefits that the habitant keep after paying the taxes. Even with that, Spain still is in the hight part of that list. But with the primal difference of that because the over regulation on the private sector the salarys are anywhere near to other European countries, and years ago of a countries like Switzerland
@@burgendefadrik1909 In whole Switzerland taxes are quite low in comparation man, the % of the benefits that the medium habitant keep after paying taxes is the higher in Europe

Love visiting Spain and hope see it again when pandemic ends.
The next fews years are going to continue being terbutaline for a lot of countries but I do see Spain coming out of it. I am more worried about Italy being the next country in the Eurozone to have a major financial crisis.
What does terbutaline mean?
Probably meant turbulent
@@michaelmccarthy9411 yeah probably an autocorrect thing because terbutaline means:
"a synthetic compound with bronchodilator properties, used especially in the treatment of asthma"
Maybe he meant something else like *turbulent* (Roto Coach's comment pointed that out)
I think we, spaniards, already are suffering a major crisis although diluted within inflation and generational problems. For youngsters is extremely difficult to be financial independent of our parents.

I am just curious
@@Charvak-Atheist republic of Ireland
In Spanish , you may hear that Spain is a “estado cuasi-federal” , it just means it’s a “quasi”-federal or “kinda but not exactly” a federal state, with the Autonomous Communities or state regions choosing which things they want to run themselves, and which things they want run by the central government.
12:50
Oh, I know about those people. I'm one of them!
You say that highly skilled people leave the country and that's a negative outcome. But on the other hand, there is very little employment in that sector due to Spain's fixation on tourism. So the alternative to leave is to stay with very bad working conditions in high skill jobs, or even worse, fighting for the low-skill jobs with even more competition.
In a way, I'm doing a small service to my country by leaving and prosper. Maybe later I can get back with money and experience to help it more efectively.
Fully support your logic. Figuratively speaking, if your country is so messed up that it does not care about losing you, then why should you care about it? As you said, you can choose to return later, but why suffer in the meantime?
@@Flamdring well, I'm not really a heartfelt patriot. I suffer for my friends and family that have to deal with such a missmanaged country. And it also saddens me to see how an amazing place, with so many possibilities and potential, is wasted due to our politicians. Also, a part of me wishes I never had to leave in the first place.
@@arkheavyindutries As a fellow spaniard abroad, I couldn’t have said it better
Pues es curioso, porque hace cierto tiempo encontré unas estadísticas en las que mostraban que, entre los europeos que emigraban a otros países europeos, los españoles eran unos de los más propensos en volver a su país después de un período de tiempo en otro país
A friend of mine moved to spain. He has a high skilled job and earns 1.200 Euro. In Germany it would be more like 3.000 Euro (he is 30). The reason for his decision is that spain is so beautiful. It's an interesting decision that makes sense when you are money independent.
As a Spaniard myself I can tell you that you completely ruled out the political side of things for this video, which is the main driver for the downfall of Spain economically. Much of the information is right, but because of the complexity of the politics in Spain, there is not much room for future growth.
The political problem isn't but a symptom. We genuinelly have the best of our own in power, problem is, our best aren't even close to be as good as the worst of any of our neighbours, including Portugal and Morocco. We can blame politicians all day, but the problem is us. We suck.
@@TheBayzent When it results from policies, then yes, the political part is the problem. The housing/real estate bubble came from there. Tho the problem is us the citizens, or well, those who vote people that act on their own interests... specially that one with the catchy jingle.
Indeed, Spain had the very first largest colonial empire in the world about 500-400 years ago. While the empire is long gone, it's effects on the world persist, given how Spanish is the world's second most spoken language.

Comment of the day. Thank you!
I just moved here to Spain in February for retirement. The prices for everything except for the basics like food are crazy. The bureaucracy is a nightmare. They just boosted electricity prices. They are planning to put tolls on all highways. And drop speed limits on the secondary roads so that people won't flee to them to avoid the tolls. I want to find a different country in Europe to relocate to, but my wife, who doesn't have to deal with anything official or pay bills other than food wants to stay.
Sounds so similar to Greece, except food is also expensive and tolls on highways have been existing since forever...
If you think Spain is a burocracy nightmare, wait to see Germany where i am living now. They took TWO YEARS to give my taxes money back, and I have to say that taxes are quite quite high.
Here the realstate market is also a nightmare and prices are quite high... so good luck.

Great video! Nice to see a country economy video again! :)
The greatest problem of Spain really lies on its dependence on tourism to save us every year, but not being able to derive that money onto more stable ways of sustaining a country. Its a pity we have resorted to make our country somewhat of a vacation state.
Tourism makes just 10% of the Economy of Spain. The largest economic sector in the Spanish economy is manufactured good.
The point about “regions in Spain being run by Presidents” as an example of the level of separate identity between regions is a bit misleading.
The title of the Spanish government’s head is “President of the Government” (equivalent to a prime minister). This style (President of some organization, instead of President of Spain or President of some region) continues at the regional level. For example, in Andalucía, it’s regional head of government is “President of the Junta of Andalucía”.
Basically, “President of (local government entity)” is a stylistic tradition in Spain at all levels of government, not a sign of separation.

I feel like the comments below are exaggerating quite a bit. Spain will not become Argentina, nor Venezuela. It's basically where Brits and Germans spend their vacation and because of simple geography, as soon as covid's over that will return Spain to its baseline of a mediocre yet reliable economy. Covid hit Spain hard but the beaches are still there.
@@strausan as I said Spain needs reforms now, Spain it's a great country with a lot of culture and first world's infrastucture with economic reforms the country will improve.
The problem, for me, with a lot of countries in the EU it's that their economic systems is so tied to the political problems that if you focus only on the economic or industrial (turism, etc.) part, it's difficult to understand all the future problems we will face in Spain :(
Covid, climatic change, immigration and all of that aside.

And because of this, whatever the current global economy needs, there's likely a state that has chosen that economic model or something close to it. Yes we end up paying more in relocation incentives, but the presence of meaningful choice forces the states' economies to adapt faster or face population outflow.

Good video. There is an interesting paradox on Spanish economy. It's true that Franco had fully centralized Government but precisely because of that he opened industries strategically in certain areas such as Basque country and Barcelona, which were very successful during the "Spanish miracle" period. However, nowadays, despite being a federation de facto as you say, we see a common trend for big companies to set their business in Madrid. It's becoming more and more difficult to compete against Madrid. There are some exceptions, like Malaga which is specializing in the IT area, but other than that it seems Spain is becoming more and more Madrid-centric. Not a Madrid hater though, they seem to manage the economy better.

Unemployment in Andalucia is 22.5% and youth unemployment is 49.5%. These rates are common across Spain. That's going to cause long term scarring as a significant minority of the population will go through life without ever working.
jesus christ, i was living there in 2014 and it's hardly gotten any better?! unbelievable man
Spain youth unemployment is almost 40% and it's not getting any better.
If you combine that with a aging population and a failing EU economy banks then Spain is literally doomed just like Italy and Argentina.

6:19 need to update this bit of historical information. Separatist/nationalist movements in Catalonia, the Basque region, and Galicia precede Franco's dictatorship, and the Civil War. Also, the alleged concentration of power you mention had precious little to do with the that armed conflict. The Spanish Civil war was not an armed conflict between regions.
He means that the current decentralized/autonomic system dates from the end of the dictatorship. As in the dictatorship years Spain was a centralized system. Before that it wasn't as segmented as today. Ex Castille, Madrid, Andalucia and Murcia weren't as different administratively as Castille and Catalonia.

Yup. I'm one that fled the country just before 2008. Gladly moved to the USA. Thank you America!!!
The video was really good, but it missed what I think is the most important thing thats pulling the economy back, which is the labour market. As a young spaniard I believe that so much regulations and overprotection of the workers has lead to the huge unemployment rates we now suffer in Spain. There will be no real change in the economy until this problem is fixed
Pedro. Take me back to before 1993 when it was 500 pts for a menu del dia. You are now paying for the money thrown at you by Brussels. They were always planning to collect their pound of flesh. Trying to open any sort of company is like trying to climb a very big wall.
Over regulation of the labour market is something asked specifically by the Spanish voters themselves. As long as their education in economics is bad, they will continue to demand unrealistic and damaging politics from the government. The Spanish government is under pressure and sometimes in order to guarantee political stability, read to maintain a four year term mandate, they succumb to the unreasonable demands of the many uneducated voters.
This. So much this. I'm from Portugal and I remember being like 14 and listening on the news that Portugal had really inflexible and protective laws regarding workers. One line that stuck with me was that "it's much easier to fire someone in Germany than in Portugal". I thought "That's gotta be bad for Germans, right?" (we can replace Germany with any country north of Italy here).
Then, how come germans are so rich? How come people emigrate from Portugal to countries where it's easier to get fired? How come we keep hearing about protecting workers rights even more, while these rich countries don't even talk about this (as far as I know)? Now, roughly 10 years later, I know the answer. And it is that basically, politicians have no idea what they are doing. They are just good at making it look like they do. In truth, all they care about is power first, and ideology second (ideology is usually method to achieve power). Our politicians (Spain and Portugal )are left-wing, because our dictatorships were right-wing, and so our politicians will do left-wing things. It just so happens that the left-wing way of solving unemployment (and of improving the economy in general) is terrible. Which is why countries like Estonia, which entered the EU in 2004, has already surpassed Portugal in GDP per Capita and will soon also surpass Spain. This problem will only be solved once the trauma of the dictatorships disappears, and we can actually start voting for people that can solve problems, instead of pretending to solve them. In a positive note, it seems like that time will be coming still during this decade.
You could do something similar to „Geography now“ where you do one of these videos about the economy of every country in the world
This is a great idea
Yeah, but National economies are dynamic (always in flux), where National geographies are static. So each Countries economy video would have to be updated regularly.
I actually thought the same as you did! +1!
It was a shame you said so little about Spain's multinationals. Zara is the obvious example, but you could also have talked about Talgo and CAF. I understand that when bids for the Haramain rolling stock were being considered, Talgo's bid was technically competitive with other bids, but vastly cheaper.
I usually learn something with each vidéo, but I feel i've learned more in this one.
I feel this video requires a review in light of the last years developments of Spanish economy and its current positive perspective.
positive??? you have to be kidding

Im from Spain 🇪🇸 and the main problems here are: 1 Too many regulations and burocracy for new business and employers 2 An inelastic market labor exemple( minimum wage too hige and taxes+regulations are too bad. That causes a great structural unemployment (young 50% and general 15/17% 3 Public debt (120%) and a huge deficit rn 8/9% 4 Our SS system is fucked and the pensions are unsusteinable
5: su español está bien feo
Haha salu2 desde México
@@licheong not socialism bureacracy
@@licheong "socialism" doesn't even have a precise definition, it means different things in different countries and to different people. Spain definitely doesn't have a socialist economy, in fact it even privatized a lot of big national industries and state monopolies in the 80s and 90s, with the "Spanish Socialist Worker's Party" in the government. Right now our SS system needs reforms and will become a huge issue unless our economy grows by a lot in a few years, but it's mainly due to demographics.
I don't agree that our minimum wage is too high, it's on the low side of things given the current cost of living. Plenty of business can make a lot of money paying that minimum wage. Minimum wage is an ongoing debate in Spain, it's not at all settled.
France has more of what I guess you're calling "socialism": higher minimum wages, big state-owned profitable enterprises, strict worker protection laws... yet its economy is way more robust than Spain's, and its SS system is also more sustainable even when its pensions are better and people retire earlier. "Socialism bad" is too simplistic an explanation.
@@paubakero Good job, blaming Spain's problems on the minimum wage islike blaming my unused treadmill for my obesity, it could actually help if I used it correctly but alas, it's just there to remind me that I don't use it and my fat (the rich) grows as my muscles (the working people) die of

Hey same :)

Yo! Another Spaniard-American dual citizen here. WE EXIST!!
Wait can you actually have dual Spanish-American citizenship?
@@paranodrum9171 yes, most countries allow you to hold multiple citizenships. In theory you could have upwards of 10 but ofc obtaining each one takes time and dedication. You could have also had parents born in that country which is prob the most common way.
@@paranodrum9171 well technically it is having both citizenships at the same time but yeah. Both of mine are because of birth right (American/Spanish parents) having more citizenships gets complicated if you acquire them after you're 18, some countries will make you renounce to one of them, it's a case by case basis anyways
Could you do a video on France ? I really like your take on the subjects you adress, and your videos are super pleasant to watch.
But "some of these regions see themselves as totally independent entities." I guess you have never heard about Quebec then.
One note, in the the Basque Autonomous Community and Navarra the taxes are collected by the local government and then a handout is negociated with the central government, this increases the expending in these local regions.
So glad to see my country covered, man. Thank you! I just hope the economic model of Spain can changed a little bit from tourism to a more sustainable one, because it is becoming a huge issue to rely so much on it.

Yeah just like the aboriginal people, they survived the Spanish but couldn't manage to thrive again.
@@robymaru03 yeah because the Spanish and the Aboriginal people of Australia are so similar...
You do realise, the only reason Spain didn't rule 80% of the world, is because they couldn't beat the English, not that they had some moral opposition to what we did.
Ps I'm not an apologist for things I didn't do, but I do acknowledge they were horrors of the past, and all nations have them.
That sounds a lot like saying, "Many of us will die, but a few will slip through to escape death, and maybe continue to produce enough offspring so that we don't go extinct."
@@adambuss654 The reason why Spain didn't ruled the world has barely anything to do with the British. Spain was the major power of Europe between 1492 and 1643, this being the discovery of America and the last battle of the Tercios, the Battle of Rocroi. In the Americas, Spain continued to be the major power till the end of the 18th Century. The British Empire started to be a major power in 1750s, when Spain was doing pretty bad and some decades later would lost their empire. So, it has nothing to do with the UK, because the major opposition power of Spain during their prime was France, mainly in the 17th Century. In the 16th Century, oh boy, you did not want to be against one of those Tercios.
Speaking of Spain, in the Basque country, there is the Mondragon corporation, a pretty unique and rather big cooperative. I've only been able to find promotional or rather propaganda material on it. It would be great if you could take a look at it with a more balanced perspective.
Mondragon is losing shine for several years. They have this decentralized ownership concept, where the workers are the owners of the corporation. They lost competitiveness over the years in many of their portfolios, because they are not able to relocate factories for cheaper labor. Theh have yet a good r+d an IP ownership, but their economies are switching and looking to get rid of some of their brands, which is difficult since the owners are the workers and demand higher salaries. Still profitable on the last rwport
¿Balanced perspective? No of course, this is an Anglo talking about Spain. It is much better to denigrate it, why not'? All the Spaniards will look down to the floor and accept all the insults.
@@jonayz8655 , this is something I never understood when I lived in Spain. People bash Spain, the Spanish accept it because they themselves bash it. The same is seen in Belgium. Why bash your own country so much instead of working to improve it? And by working I do not mean necessarily accepting the will of the elite.
Spain has a lot of talent and potential, but the seemingly complete disillusion with the country and their own people makes it really hard for anything to work well. People accept the fact that they are being cheated by their fellow citizens, they accept when someone tells them to wait when they can do things quicker, they accept when they are paid low salaries when it is illegal to do so, and so on.
@@Flamdring Not everyone bashes it. It's just part of the black-legend propaganda since the times of the Spanish Empire when anglofrench propaganda invented lies against the Empire, to the point of funding Simon Bolivar to split it into the US banana republics now known as "latinoamerica".
Also London and Washington profit greatly from having first class seats as a part of the Zi0nist proxy warlords. The US even aligns with Morocco now that they recognized Israel as a state in return. Look at what happened recently in the border. Mohammad VI sent people, including kids, flocking into the sea to invade Ceuta as blackmail. They use migration as ammo. Absolutely 0 words by Biden. Nothing was addressed. Same with Trump. Morocco is a bigger ally for them than Spain which is the south gates of Europe. I even saw the other day Tucker Carlson attacking Spain to explain how Mexicans come to the borders. "They stole their gold!" he claimed. It's all a big joke.
