The forced agreement of Chrysler (which had vefore dumped by Daimler as a lost case) is, in contrast of what it can seem at the first sight, a positive signal. Although the notice has soured the spirits of the financial market at the first moment, it is a signal of that the biggest problems that affect the North American economy are starting to be sorted out. The reasoning is simple. Between 1983 and 2008, the North American economy lived one occasions of unknown prosperity. The tranquility was so strong that the United States had acted as a contracyclical factor in all the moments where the world-wide economy lost the step. Charles Darwin, who gave form and fame to the theory of the evolution and the survival of most apt would not have made better. The problems had started if to aggravate in fact when, suffocated for a torrent of inexhaustible liquidity, the market left to function with efficiency. The repeated injections of resources to subject crises had distorted action prices, fixed income securities, property, commodities and all on derivatives they. As result, the market left of premiar the effectiveness and simply punishing the inefficiency, passing to place abundant resources where it wants that it had a minimum promise of return. This distorted situation not only allowed that plain business of companies of solid Internet they were valid in such a way how much company of the old call economy, but also allowed that company tragicamente inefficacious and esclerosadas as the North American assembly plants continued functioning normally. What it lacked to them in operational return was wide compensated for the profit of the financial speculation. It is not of today that the North American automobile industry needs a deep reorganization. It has much time, the best brains egresses of the North American universities search not Detroit, but the Valley of Silicon. Not motor, but biotechnology, genetic engineering and advanced medicine research. The vanguard of the innovation already moved away itself from the automobiles has decades. The assembly plants today are a mature industry, that it needs to operate intent to the costs and searching to optimize resources. So that the assembly plants can carry through a so radical yaw, drastic measures as the forced agreement are necessary. Thus, the forced agreement of the Chrysler and its eventual sale to Fiat must be applauded, although the dramatical social and human cost of the adjustments that if make necessary. It is the symbolic landmark of a process that started has some years and that it must gain force, the purification of productive sector North American e, eventually, its internationalization.
