Greetings and welcome to Bully Magnets,
I am your friend Reijard and this time I will tell you
[8]
on the Free Trade Agreement of America
North, it's a strange subject but it can
[14]
help understand what the hell is going on
with the economy of our entire region with
[18]
the arrival of Donald Trump.
[20]
Reijard bad man.
[23]
Our story begins at the end of the
80s, the world is ending the war
[27]
cold, the United States emerges as the maximum
and only world power and Mexico is
[32]
beginning to open up to international trade
with technocratic and neoliberal policies
[36]
by the hand of President Carlos Salinas de
Gortari.
[39]
But let's not dwell too much in the context
Well, we have another video that talks about Mexico
[45]
in the 80s and 90s, you can see it here
and go a little deeper into the framework
[50]
historic where the Treaty of free is born
trade, so let's continue because this
[55]
once we are going to talk about super-dense information.
[60]
In 1988 there was a strong transformation
in the world with Gorvachev in the Soviet Union,
[65]
Margaret Tacher in the United Kingdom and the Republican
Ronald Regan in the United States, all of them
[71]
they marked a clear inclination towards politics
Right in a world that back then
[75]
he advocated the liberation of markets and the
globalization
[79]
Just the opposite of what the world right
of 2017 wants, ironically.
[85]
Those are a lot of bad men with a british
nasty woman, wrong.
[90]
In that scenario, rules of
the global economy that were known as
[95]
the Washington Consensus, basically
it was about 10 points to follow to integrate
[99]
the free market and the global neoliberalism
in developed countries and of course, also
[104]
for those who were developing,
like Mexico.
[107]
President Salinas de Gortari was particularly
active in implementing reforms that were
[113]
according to the Washington Consensus, this implied
decrease government participation in
[118]
economic activities and give opening
to the investment of national individuals
[123]
and foreigners.
[124]
This is called neoliberalism, neo-liberalism.
[130]
Free trade agreements were also signed
with Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica
[135]
and of course, at the beginning of 1990, negotiations began
of the Free Trade Agreement of America
[140]
North with the United States and Canada, it was
signed by the president of the United States
[146]
George HW Bush, the Canadian Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney and the Mexican president
[152]
Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the treaty entered
in force on January 1, 1994.
[158]
With this Mexico opened to the economy
of a good part of the continent and in addition
[163]
practically adhered to the market of
United States to be the Treaty of Free
[167]
North American trade treaty
with larger commercial concessions to
[168]
both sides.
[169]
As a measure for the adaptation of the economy
mexicana 3 zeros were removed to the currency
[172]
with the creation of the new weight, also
Salinas withdrew government control and
[177]
it returned from private mines, airlines,
railways and thousands of kilometers of roads,
[183]
dissolved the sugar industry and
of coffee besides the monopoly of telephony
[187]
of Telmex passed from the government to Carlos
Slim, a private individual who received a sector
[192]
fundamental for the development of the country.
[195]
That's right gentlemen, now you can practically do
whatever they want
[200]
Yei!
[201]
The banks were liberalized to individuals
rather carelessly, this generated
[206]
in 1994 a huge economic crisis that broke
the pace of the reforms and let see once
[212]
more corruption and weak institutions
Mexicans that stopped the development and
[218]
confidence in the plans of the Mexican government.
[221]
For its part, the United States and Canada focused
your attention on becoming an economy
[226]
of the market, that is, to base its growth
in high technology, consumption and purchase
[231]
sale of goods and services to leave the
manufacture of products to third countries
[236]
world like Mexico and China so that the
production was much cheaper.
[241]
The free trade agreement removed or lowered
Import and export taxes
[246]
of goods all kinds, opened the exchange
commercial food and gave the legal framework
[252]
for foreign companies to have
facilities to settle in Mexico,
[257]
this also the treaty was thought by
Americans as a way to give
[261]
work to Mexicans and reduce migration
to his country, which at that time was very high.
[268]
But things did not go very well from the
principle, the entry of transgenic foods
[272]
from the United States broke with prices
of the food of many field products
[277]
Mexico, also the lack of protection
of the government to that sector caused an abandonment
[281]
massive land and increased migration,
informal trade also increased
[286]
and the concentration of people in the centers
urban
[289]
So with the years instead of creating more
employment in Mexico what was done was to concentrate it
[294]
in the industry and remove it from the field, what
in the end it has not brought benefits to all
[300]
the sectors of the population.
[302]
I used to live in the countryside, now I sell covers
for cell phones and Chinese chat bars in the
[308]
city, I do not see what the benefit was.
[310]
This and more phenomena were gestating
in the next 25 years, let's see in parts
[316]
what happened in all that time.
[318]
As promised, lots of companies
foreigners came to Mexico, this to the
[322]
long did not take jobs from any country but
yes he made the workforce around the world
[327]
lower price.
[328]
It works well for me to earn 15 dollars a
day
[332]
US too
[334]
Well, that is a grime for me, it's not worth
pain
[337]
On the other hand, the legal framework of the Treaty of
Free Trade of North America has done
[340]
that Mexico is a great place to import
goods from all over the world, not to consume them
[345]
here but to sell them to the US.
[349]
Looking at it in a simple way Mexico works
like a large winery that has free passage
[353]
to North America, that's why great
part of world trade enters Mexico
[358]
to assemble their goods with the sole intention
to trade cheaply with the US, this
[364]
is to such a degree that 85% of what is exported
of Mexico goes to that destination and not even
[370]
half of what is exported is owned
of Mexican companies.
[373]
And this is not so good, the government of Mexico
can not charge a lot of money for imports
[380]
of the world and because of the Free Trade Agreement
of North America The US does not charge many
[385]
taxes for goods receipt from
Mexico, come on, that by this logic, no
[391]
of the two governments earns a lot.
[393]
Hey, the governments are the ones that put
the rules, do not come to complain with me.
[398]
With the arrival of foreign industries to
Mexico government support was abandoned
[403]
to the domestic industry, it was also generated
an economy dependent on the outside in
[407]
many fronts between which there are two a
both absurd, one is the food dependency
[413]
despite the country's agricultural potential.
[415]
Abundance
[416]
And the other the energy dependence of gasoline
thanks to the historical inefficiency and corruption
[421]
of PEMEX in addition to the import every time
largest of refined fuels in the US.
[427]
So there you have it, that's the story
of what it is about and some of the consequences
[431]
that have the Free Trade Agreement of
North America in these moments where
[435]
they talk about their renegotiation or even cancellation,
still not sure what will happen but
[440]
having some perspective helps us see
that the cancellation or renegotiation of this
[446]
treaty is not necessarily something negative.
[450]
In addition, we must be aware that the world
has changed a lot in the last 25 years,
[454]
electronic commerce, environmentalism,
telecommunications and energy sources
[459]
are issues that are not in the agreement and are
issues that affect us throughout the region,
[464]
at the same time the needs have changed
and free trade and globalization have
[469]
brought a huge force to entrepreneurs
and weakened governments around the world,
[474]
this without counting that poverty and inequality
have been accentuated to the degree that 8 people can
[480]
have the same wealth as the poorest half
of the entire planet. We are also entering
[486]
to the fourth industrial revolution, a time
where automation, robots and
[491]
artificial intelligence are there for
Integrate into human labor what changes
[496]
the board as we know it.
[499]
So friends from around the world apologize
if the subject is too local but in truth
[504]
is something that not only affects the region but
that can have consequences throughout the continent
[509]
and even in global trade. I
I am your friend Reijard and I leave you a question
[516]
Do you think defending NAFTA is a good thing?
idea, you must leave it, you must renegotiate
[526]
or you should do everything possible to leave it as
this? I await your answers in the comments
[532]
and as always I invite you to subscribe to
this channel, like this video if you learned
[537]
something new, share the knowledge with
your friends and now yes, see you until the
[542]
next Bye!
