La riqueza que no genera prosperidad | Oscar Farfan | TEDxElMolino


[Music]

good evening dear friends

let’s talk about an issue that is for everyone

it is known that it makes more sense by

all the little ones that is wealth

that did not give prosperity and that’s a subject

that you know him and it’s good

study it analyze it because although it is

something known that that wealth that is

called natural resources does not give the

I say prosperity

most important laboratory perhaps

Latin American world level

and provide and why why passed

billions of dollars could

have turned any society into

a thriving society and did not get

that effect is why in this

moment you have to do the reflection

necessary and you have to react to this

reality that you all live all

we live then for this is

very important to know the concept of

prosperity

then the concept of development and

concepts of underdevelopment and that ‘s a

curious thing these concepts are not very

assets

is a little over 200 years old

development and underdevelopment the

prosperity if they became patent to

from a very important fact that is

called the industrial revolution the

industrial production made that the

machine to replace man

much cheaper products and services

and more economic more abundant

that effect so important the revolution

industrial

that of societies that were once

poor people will have services and

much more accessible goods

it is so the industrial revolution is

by all known has had some

very important effects on the poverty of

The humanity

if we see ourselves the picture that you

see on the screen poverty that

from 28 90% in 1800 goes down less than 30 percent

hundred and other indices like the

illiteracy life expectancy

etc. suffer changes

very important

that means that every time the world

It is prost

but this is not the same for all the

society unfortunately a society is

prosperous more than others the indices

they improve more than others and that is the

problem they have is regions

backward as bolivia as tarija this

recurring theme in tarija was very much in

very clear way

you can see in the picture is what

was tarija is 40 years old fifty years

when I was a student and decided to leave

and emigrate like all the zones

underdeveloped compared to

developed why why in

Tarija did not offer careers

the opportunity was offered nor the work

that’s how I went to study a

profession that was tied to the industry

linked to industrial chemistry and much

people tell me easy they studied a

career that do not do work here

because this country does not have industries

but it came out because there was a promise of

the governments of that time to build

the petrochemical industry in Bolivia

never happened and it’s like that when

We returned many professionals not

we found work not finding the

possibilities and that’s called back

that is called inequality

units that unfortunately generated the

industrial Revolution

and here comes a very important issue in

the exodus that causes the inequality of

of sun is a piece that all known

for you made for what my brother

eduardo where it says I am with a tree

stuck to the ground and naide snacks

canyon of payment in which I live

that shows that the tarijeño does not

like to emigrate because this design has

optimal conditions to live in a

valley that nature offers cultivated

much the friendship of chet therefore the

exodus unlike other facts of

other sites is painful is much more

painful in tarija than in other parts

that’s why this migration towards

are the prosperous is the constant of

the tarijeños of more than 100 years ago

and that I think we have not been able to overcome

the current situation we are

also in the same if professionals

that they have to migrate or people who have

in it, the leaders are very much friends with

north of Argentina and that makes this

zone does not have human resources

necessary to face the development

if you follow this denial

in these conditions the exodus has been

a very negative factor in all

societies and especially those

backward societies but there happens a

unused fact

faced with this panorama of exodus,

discover you know the megafields the

oil boom makes the

royalty budget that I had

rate goes up in a very proportion

important in the last 15 years that

count resources 600 times more than

in the previous decades

that innumerable amount of resources that

has not taken advantage of unfortunately

no more industries were created before

it created an ingenious but now it does not

has no other additional industry

before it was done

the cement factory now we do not see

no factory works that makes

that there is a very big frustration in

the population

that frustration of having seen many

resources and have not changed

substantially the life of the little ones

and this comes to a reflection made

much blames politicians who has

administered the public thing but the

political and public bureaucracy

represents more than 3 percent of the

population

97 percent is not guilty not

managed the boom is this

that’s why he believes that the perceptions that

has many politicians and many people

about prosperity development

they are distorted

some for example are anti capitalist or

three or nationalist type that the

prosperous take away the materials

bonuses and we are left behind

theories and even racists about the

subject that the originators are guilty

of underdevelopment the colonizers

Spanish etcetera and there is a

conception also generalized in

the whole society that the public is

social appropriation is all

Bolivians without and the private does not

Private is only the private

this makes people not support for

example the privatization of

Business

the private company has not achieved and not

make society see as a

social heritage as elsewhere

as in japan as it is in this area and the

set and that I put or in collation a thing

very important economist

american michael nova when he

they ask why countries

Latin Americans are the poor and the

context says because you are

experts in studying poverty

they study how many poor people have how

they live what conditions live

politicians go to the poor and offers them

wonders in exchange for votes votes but

nobody studies how wealth is generated

and that is one of the serious deficiencies

in today’s societies

so here b has a theme that

I want to highlight those who generate

The country’s wealth does not generally

politicians the neighborhood councils or the

Sorbonne axes are generated by companies

companies and cases are the drivers

of modern society

why why it was created from

the industrial Revolution

a craftsman needed to do business

but when development begins,

machine and and the invention and the

technology you need to do the company

That’s when the company was born and that

company is the key to the development of

the people and this is a concept that does not

it has only ingrained even in the

society and less of the leaders

politicians

then this makes the creation

of companies and the impulse of companies

is not properly considered by the

society and by politicians

the knowledge that companies have

they call them sheet or it’s a capital that does not

It is found on sale

universities teach the concepts

generals teach science but the

practical knowledge and consumption

specific is in companies

the loja or how to do it how to do it

cheaper and penetrate markets

is what is known as cat capital

intellectual of the companies and that no

It is on sale

you can not buy it there is not a store

the only way for a country to get

technology and get the capital

intellectual is or copying or associating

Japan has been a very exponent

important to copy technology and the

China to associate and the most important thing

is that this company is not heritage

of the major great powers

Bolivia country to be a small country

you have to have important companies

because he has to export because his

internal market does not allow

develop the theme then port make

that you have to go to the league is like

go to a football game you have to

bring the best equipment the best

Business

that was taught by the Swedes

permanently to several countries

our who invite us to know

sweden they are smallest country of

Bolivia in the territory in population

but they have the best companies like the

volvo scania cheta because they have to

compete on an equal footing with any

foreign power

then the experience and the sun

development of noja or to me has led me

for example to have a very experience

important in the north of the country in a

city ​​of blanket where many years ago

twenty years the craft industry like

you see in the figure then you

requires an alliance effort between

several companies to develop

the technology that they see in that

screen s are inventions that were made

Bolivian engineers many of the

tarijeños that you know many

of them and with that it was achieved that the

brazil that was before the first

producer and in the green line pass

to second producer and Bolivia

at this moment it is the most

important in campaign exports

this has made that that technology is

angry or not get it only with

technical and scientific effort is your

that travel to many countries like

Turkey United States and Spain

etcetera to adapt the technology of

other nuts to the chestnut

that has generated an intellectual capital

a knowledge know how that has made

that this company can be successful and

it has also been copied and adopted by

the other companies in the region

then blanket and liberal

this experience

what do you have to do

region like tarija that at this moment

is facing a frustration we

there are a few resources still

until no more gas is not discover it

that we have to do what is the

challenge the challenge begins with

expand financing opportunities

companies to the creative talking about the

chestnut industry everything was possible

technological development because the

financing did not come from the banks

only but from financial funds and

venture capital was the foundation

bolivia exports that whoever to do

companies you can not go to a bank because

He also asks for double guarantees

who will follow investment funds

we would have to develop not

loan banks but funds from

investment is working on that and

so that it has a connotation very

important because those who access the

bank only hold guarantees or

be it lends to the rich and the

creatives and entrepreneurs do not

they are necessarily in families

rich with steve jobs or bill gates

if you know him as great

entrepreneurs had no view

so they went ahead because

there was a financial infrastructure

to finance the entrepreneurs

this is what we have to achieve to

through laws that we can happily

do it at the departmental level without asking

the legislation at national level

another important thing to overcome the company

family

a country can not depend solely on

companies that are family has to

open to the shareholders in

general investment funds and that

I give as an example for example toyota

the toyoda family that was

originally owner of toyota only

in 2% at this time millions of

Japanese are owners of the Toyota with

one buys a toyota car is

benefiting several Japanese not

only one family or family

that does what

these companies have ownership

social when it is of many the company

the people start to take care of those

companies start to want the pieces to

defend them

another very important thing is the culture

associative to break that selfishness between

entrepreneurs among collectivities between

producers to be able to create alliances

with people from Chile in the case of tarija

for the development of beekeeping the

Fruit growing etc. and other

initiatives

another thing is important that

establishment of the apps follows the

whole world and to the people the governments

they do not handle public services if they do not

they do it through companies and

joint-stock companies that has the know

How has the technology is very

important

structure so that entrepreneurs

They can also offer services

need for health equipment management

diagnosis and so on that are given in

all part of the world

another very important thing is to achieve

joint ventures because here still the

governance or the state is very strong

in relation to the private initiative very

weak and then the association between

the state and the private sector has given

very good results in the whole world

in germany he has his belly and norway or

the forgiveness that is that you have

scandinavian etc.

that association is the state and the sector

Private has driven strong companies

companies with the capacity to export

illegally international and the most

important is the participation of

public investor in companies

thing that does not happen in Bolivia and that

we could start in this region that

does it mean the public has to

participate in business successes

at this time there are all the savings of

the tarijeños and many Bolivians

they are in fixed term some by the way

as he says it would have been a dream that

the tarijeños participate in actions

from the well san alberto del pozo

margarit would have had a

profitability of 10 of 15 percent

good the companies that should be boosted

the big exporters wine grapes and

citrus singanis the companies of

reforestation and so on can capture

a lot of money from the public

also the pension fund in this

At the moment the afp have a lot of money to

be able to invest and there are no projects

so they can invest then the

generation of these broad companies

social base that are going to be more

appreciated by the public and by the

people and by the population is important

for the afp it is because the afp is not

can invest in small businesses or

relatives have to be companies of

this post

So this is the challenge we have

all designs for the public sector

and the private sector

thank you very much
