The nut and the billet

So less speak disparagingly of the "economy of the billet" to refer to the construction sector, less equate real estate activity simply unproductive speculation and the pitch. Because if the construction does not rise, here does not rise or God. And the same applies to the sector of the nut, the chorizo, of the stool, of the test piece and the alpargata and the sock. I.e., without the metallurgical sector and automotive, without furniture manufacturers, without the companies that manufactured food products and beverages, textile and shoe industry and the chemical industry, to name but a few, we go all to hell. These are, today, the industrial sectors able to create direct employment and that, along with tourism, generate greater indirect activity in the sector services. And these are those who should receive maximum support and greater attention by the public institutions. But not only, also of many media and economists to the use for which speak of the graphic arts or industry hardware, to take two examples, seem almost a coarseness of the last century. Now what hot is the synchrotron, environmental technologies, bio-energy, biomedicine and in general everything that begins by bio or echo.

Let's be honest. A real change of production model does not occur in two years and may be caused by the whimsical decision of a Government or a few intellectuals. The base will remain where it was. In the construction and other traditional sectors. Certainly industrial enterprises must go to be adapted gradually to technological changes, new models of management, globalization and emerging trends in the markets. As always they have done, on the other hand, which have come this far. Because those who have not have been left on the track. Since the traditional economy from where they will take shape most of the advances that will allow us to go modulating the industrial structure of our economy, displacing less competitive activities into other areas with greater technological contribution or a better adjustment to new market opportunities. It will be the automotive sector and their contract which will promote the electric car, biotechnology will take place from the agri-food sector, and will be the sector of construction which will decanting part of its resources from the new work towards rehabilitation.

We must focus all efforts on reinforcing the traditional sectors of our economy. Of them depends on the output of the crisis and the creation of employment. And its strength will depend on so overused change of the production model.
