Whether we like it or not, Coronavirus will change the way we live and see the world.

You never know how your life may change from one day to the next. Suddenly, a virus is knocking at our door, threatening our lives, entering them without prior permission and changing completely overnight in all areas; the trips planned for months, the weddings, the goals, everything, is suspended because of this host that has come without invitation. We find ourselves, in this atmosphere and fear that reigns, surviving is our only objective, fighting an unequal war, this time it is not about facing a military power but an invisible enemy. Therefore, weapons, fighter planes, missiles, and tanks are not useful, but three methods, some of them simple:

1.-Vaccination.

2.-Immunity.

3.-Change the behavior of society.

 It is not the first time we have had to fight against the very laws of nature, viruses have no nationality, they belong to the earth. Well, during the last century alone we had to fight the most terrifying pandemic in the history of humanity "The Spanish Flu". However, we are talking about a different context. Now we live in a society intoxicated by social networks and the world of opinion. We have needed this blow to realize, who is worthy of our applause, how easily we can give total importance to the most superficial thing in the world as the last gossip of a football player or some gossip of a reality show. We build the cover of our life with our super cool Instagram profiles, based on the world of appearance and opinion, a life designed virtually by us and directed by deceitful demagogues. Now in hard times is when the focus has shifted to people who are actually the mainstay of our public life such as doctors, nurses, scientists, who put their lives at risk daily by society. 

We are used to seeing similar situations in movies, but we doubt the possibility that these events can become our reality. Politics has moved away from its true purpose, which is to improve the world, to become a spectacle where injustice reigns and is strengthened by ignorance; where one does not see humanity only in humans whose only objectives are the struggle for power and corruption. 

We live in a world that constantly divides us, but in the eyes of the virus, we are all equal. We have to say goodbye to the virtual world and live in reality. Whether we like it or not, Coronavirus will change the way we live and see the world.

Rebuilding the world

The coronavirus appeared in our lives without warning, causing great changes and leading the world to new social, political and economic habits, affecting at the same time the way we live our lives.  After about three months of confinement with all that it has generated of fear and preoccupation, people have finally been able to go out to the streets, adapting to the new reality, characterized by the new rules of protection. A feeling pervades all people that life is going to change, although relatively. We are facing new concepts and norms of social behaviour, social distancing and self-isolation, as well as the closure of bars and restaurants. This situation could last a long time, especially in view of the fear of the second wave of the Coronavirus. In the economic field, it is already known and perceived that the Coronavirus is causing an economic crisis similar to that of 1929. This situation leads us to ask ourselves, What form will this new economic situation take? Econom

The Internet has become an essential tool for our lives, perhaps as much as the light. Everyone is trying to keep up with the digital revolution and keep up with the advances. One revealing aspect of the internet is the mobile phone, today the mobile phone is a device that has become indispensable in our lives, so that 67% of the world's population has a mobile phone so that they do not feel isolated from society. The utilities of the internet-mobile couple are increasing more and more facilitating tasks of our daily life, but we cannot forget that this tool has its prices and we have to pay its expenses whether we want to or not.  However, the prices are not the same depending on where in the world you are. Having just moved from Spain to Great Britain, I knew beforehand that the prices of various goods and services would be higher compared to Spain, as companies usually make their business decisions depending on the nature of the market and purchasing power. However,

What is economics?

What is economics? The word economy comes from the Greek "oikonomos" which means household management. This word usually appears several times in our daily conversations, but few people know its true meaning. Surely the first thing that comes to mind when you hear economy is economy equals money, but it doesn't stop there. There is a plethora of elements that contribute to its full meaning as the world of economics is very broad. It is present in our world much more than we imagine, from the most expensive and valuable things we have to the glass of water we drink when we are thirsty. In order to understand the economy of the present we must know the history of economic thought throughout history. This science greatly affects the society in which we find ourselves but in a different way to each person. For example, the number of unemployed people, the ease with which families meet their needs or the availability of public services; the state of these depend
