In search of well-being

Description

Rational independence versus emotional nationalism How states will be in the 21st century? This is the question that Ignasi Llorente is trying to answer, ERC spokesperson between the years 2008 and 2011, based on the premise of considering both states and their administrations as tools at the service of the human species to guarantee their well-being. A Catalunya, the author proposes to definitively abandon emotional nationalism, and opposes it to a rational independence. the states, argues, they must be reformed under criteria of effectiveness and utility and not be considered an end in themselves. In summary: we need more State and less nation. "We have spent too many years asking ourselves who we are as a preliminary step to deciding what we want to be. While we are told that nation building is the priority, we forget about the State. Perhaps it is a strategy that guarantees certain political hegemonies and the survival of a status quo, but give me a State and don't worry, the subtraction –including the nation– it will be given in excess." From the foreword by Josep Ramoneda. A brave and uncomplicated proposal to face independence from a rational and progressive point of view and contrary to nationalist topics.
