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.

The famous coronavirus has become a very hot topic of debate in recent weeks; on 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation declared an international health emergency due to the outbreak of the virus that has already infected more than 100,000 people so far and with more than 3,600 deaths worldwide, mainly in China, this virus has already spread to 100 countries. Coronavirus is having a great impact, of course, negative on the economy and markets. The spread of this virus in the world could cause losses of hundreds of billions of Euros.

This is due to people's fear of catching it when they travel.

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.

                                  The institutional relationship between the United Kingdom and Morocco dates back centuries, precisely to 1213, when King John of England sent the first British embassy to Morocco to establish bilateral relations with the Moroccan Sultan Mohammed Ennasir. England pursued two objectives, to ensure Moroccan support in its conflicts with its European enemies, especially against France, and to establish trade relations. Another very important fact in British history is that the first company for trade with foreign countries was created especially to trade with Morocco. This is the Barbary Company created in 1558.                                 However, despite these historical relations and geographical proximity, bilateral relations, in general, did not make a qualitative leap through...

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...
