are almost identical but both terms can be understood as diseases of our time, though not identical.
The first is as mental illness in which the patient may be held by the delusional belief that is very rich or want in an obsessive way wealth. For the Greek god Pluto, god of wealth.
The second, which is a term coined by Citi Group, means the concentration of wealth in the Western world in a few to create a small pocket of very, very rich, in this situation 10% of the population concentrated 90% of the wealth and leaving the vast majority, 90%, only 10% of wealth. It's the economy of the rich (or rather of the very rich) and derives from the contraction of the words Pluto and Economics. It is considered, after the outbreak of the crisis, the great sickness of the West.
In the East, both near and far, has always existed and hence the wave of protests and riots to which we are witnessing.
We are surprised to know (now because everything has blown up) how the people are rebelling against "kings" who have ruled their countries with an iron hand, impoverishing citizens and enrich themselves and their families. And to prepare those who may be about to fall.
remember that this happens in the Middle East (and in China is also preparing something, time will tell) because they concentrate wealth are the same as those that concentrate political power and as such is easy to identify who they are "pushed around" in a word that everyone can understand.
In the West, where there is Plutomanía because we believe wealthy compared with the East, we do not realize that it also has established the plutonomy. In a recent article in elEconomista.es in recent years has deepened the gap between rich and poor. The main cause is alleged financial deregulation. I would argue that the main reason is that mental illness called plutomanía.
Why? Because we have been led to believe that we can be rich to the core buying, spending and wasting money that could be saving in these last 5 years (2001 - 2006) of economic prosperity. This disease, Plutomanía, is what has been establishing in the working population thought that giving equal the price was always an investment to buy an apartment, rent was a waste of money. As an example of what we have to do The founder of the popular property portal idealista.com would buy a house "tocateja" that under article Santillana, lived 20 years of rent until he has been able to buy a floor because, make no mistake, a mortgage if it was a waste of money.
All this we have cooked us all alone and now we eat it with potatoes touches (if any).
Now, say our politicians feed entrepreneurship plays when they have been the first to criticize and stoned the self-employed entrepreneur in Spain (I understand to placate his working-class voters, those who now are unemployed.) Because, in my opinion, they have no idea how to create jobs or how to make money, nor that they had neither the no (placing debt). With a little embarrassed and in a hurry now we feed the entrepreneurial spirit. I hope that at least a little embarrassed because the rush already have them.
not really know which of the two is the real disease of the West, but personally I think the one, the Plutomanía, causes the other, the plutonomy, and I think now up to discover that we are not so rich causing more than one a headache. Do not let the blame has been able to "do their homework" and let's us do ours.
A greeting.
