Economic circumstances

Abstract

When an economic analysis is carried out, it is usual and traditional to resort to figures to support some assertions or elements of judgment, a practice that will only be eventually respected in this small essay, for two simple reasons; the first, due to the lack of timely quarterly indicators and the second, due to the loss of credibility of some strategic figures.
Above all, those that intend to fix a monthly or quarterly situation, with improvised figures that favor an apparent good management, with political purposes that annul the genuine and technical perception.
As someone said, the figures do not lie, the one who lies is the one who makes them, or the pertinent allusion in a well-known text by Dr. Joan Robinson, called, The fallacy of statistics.
