Economist José Carlos Díez visits "Más de Uno" to present his book, "The End of the World as We Knew It." Rafa Latorre revisits the debate on major economic and political transformations with the economist, focusing the conversation on artificial intelligence, Europe, and Spain.
Díez explains that the world is changing and identifies the arrival of Trump at the White House, the decline of Europe, China, artificial intelligence, and energy as key elements of this transformation. His analysis also focuses on Spain, where he calls for greater management capacity and a shift in economic policies.
José Carlos Díez positions artificial intelligence as the catalyst for a new industrial revolution.
For Díez, artificial intelligence represents a technological transformation of unprecedented scale. The economist highlights the processing power of current machines and rejects an apocalyptic view of technology.
"Technology is expensive and is adopted when wages are low or when workers are scarce and wages are rising," he states.
The economist uses a football analogy to explain the differences between countries. Artificial intelligence is the ball, and everyone has the same tool. The difference lies in who knows how to use it. "AI is the ball. You have the same one here as in San Francisco and Shanghai," he argues.
Díez believes that Spain and Europe are not properly leveraging this transformation and calls for educational preparation that allows young people to develop the logical reasoning necessary to work with artificial intelligence.
Díez questions Brussels' economic policy.
Díez also criticizes the cost of emissions trading and believes that Europe must consider its impact on electricity prices and inflation.
His criticism of European institutions reaches one of the most forceful moments of the interview: "It's easier to believe in the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary's virginity than in all of European politics."
Díez's distancing from the PSOE.
Rafa Latorre asks Díez about the change in positions that some attribute to the economist and about his relationship with the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). Díez responds that he continues to defend principles he has defended before and cites the progressivity of income tax as an example. He also recalls his participation in drafting the proposal for the minimum living income.
"I invented the income; I named it the minimum living income," he states.
The economist explains that his original approach transforms the minimum living income into an active employment policy. According to his proposal, the aid supports individuals while they receive training and acquire skills to re-enter the labor market.
Díez criticizes the system for losing this link to employment. "That's not progressive," he asserts.
Díez's criticism of Pedro Sánchez
"He has never been a man of progress," he states.
Wages and housing: Spain's economic problems
Díez focuses much of his analysis on the Spanish economy. He explains that the average wage, adjusted for inflation, has stagnated for 25 years.
"We're not getting worse, but we're not progressing," he states.
The economist adds that the minimum wage is becoming the most common wage and links this situation to the housing problem.
"The most common salary is the minimum wage, and we want to resolve the housing crisis," he maintains. Díez also points out that Spain builds 100,000 homes a year while only 250,000 households are being formed. For the economist, this discrepancy is part of the disorder affecting the Spanish economy.
The problem of management and bureaucracy
Díez also criticizes the evolution of the public administration and the difficulties in developing projects in Spain. During the discussion, he recalls the construction of Terminal 4 at Barajas Airport and compares it to the current difficulties in executing infrastructure projects. His argument revolves around a loss of management capacity and excessive regulation.
The economist calls for regaining the capacity to develop projects and restoring order to the country's operations.

Sería lo normal, pero lo creeré cuando lo vea. Y lo dudo mucho, por desgracia.
Permitanme comentar, son los municipios los que saben realmente por crecimiento de su municipio, las necesidades de vivienda que se necesitan.
En 48 años desde Felipe hasta nuestros dias nadie, ningun municipio se a ocupado por la vivienda y el estado tampoco.
Es ahora después de 48 años que hace falta vivienda?
Seguir dormidos y no despertar

No porque tenga razón sino porque te hace pensar y sobretodo porque salimos de los discursos polarizados de un lado y del otro que suenan tan artificiales (y manipulativos)
