The End of the Beginning

The winds of a coming Spring greet once again the fields of Lusitania. Warm Apollo starts getting more and more generous in his daily gifts. Nature interprets these signs as change, each living organism adapts to the come of the new season, a time to thrive in prosperity. 

As March marches in, we get that smile that we know very well, due to the longer days and less absent Sun. But unemployment just got record high. But public debt to GDP is well over 100%. But inflation starts getting a bit of a problem to manage. But there are huge budget cuts to be made to the public sector. What about the poor? What about the children? What about the disadvantaged? What about me? What about everyone else? Where are we going?

Strangely, - or not - Spring hasn't noticed we are in crisis and decided to continue in the positive mood of giving Nature a boost. Why would Spring interrupt her natural cycle so she could be empathic about our zeitgeist?

I guess, she would never abandon her natural order of giving sequence to the seasons of the year, nor would the sun stop rising tomorrow because we are in a dark age of finance. Nature is the result of all the particles and forces in action, not ONE will, but the balanced sum of an almost infinite number of elements. In the same way, so should society be the interactions of all individuals, that rely on each other, rather than the view of unity. There is no collective as a unit, but only as a group. - it was this thought that made me start this blog, as we see often collectives regarded as being an individual. 

That said, and I would like to extend and declare this blog as a place for ideological thought expansion in the radical liberal schools, both philosophical and economic. This is the manifesto for this blog, primarily dedicated to the pursuers of liberty but open to the curious mind that would like to join the discussion.

I finish by returning to the title. "The End of the Beginning" - that in Sir Winston Churchill's rhetoric symbolized the turn in the war against the Axis - to me it means also to be the end of the beginning in this war against Leviathan. Today, Leviathan is slain!
