The business of survival

The best businesses are those that go unnoticed though very profitable.

The human being is characterized by not seeing or the microscopic and the macroscopic. It seems paradoxical, but true. When something is too big, it's invisible.

At some point someone realized that the best thing that can happen to gross domestic product (GDP) of a country is that people live as many years as possible. The advantages are:

1 .- The whole world will agree. (Who does not want to longevity?)

2 .- The people when they cling to life also hold money because they know that recent years are of low productivity, and to be tired, sickly, short-sighted, deaf, slow.

3 .- The austerity of the young adult sighted includes much hard work (they are motivated workers, yielding, compliant, fearful of a layoff, obedient) and also includes life insurance contract, the contribution to social security institutions, prepaid medical services and deposits on the banks know that they provide large gains.

4 .- The old ailing and longevity is someone who only uses, preferably in the health area, which is labor-intensive contracts directly (escort services, doctors, nurses, administrators) and indirectly (locomotion, domestic service, more all consumption of those working in the aforementioned direct care).

Perhaps the person who noticed this phenomenon is understood that just as profitable prematurity of the human species, as the children and young people are major consumers because they are weak, fragile, dependent and full of desires and needs, it is also profitable survival, even low-quality artificial it is, because a person, the more dependent, more consuming, whether it has a very eager body (such as children and young people) or very vulnerable (such as the elderly).

It is likely that many think that the increase in average life is an achievement in medical science who work tirelessly for the welfare of the species, when in fact it is an achievement of economic sciences who work tirelessly to maximize the return on capital .
