Daily Inspiration Quote by Nestor Kirchner

Globalization, in Kirchner's framing, isn’t an unstoppable force of nature; it’s a policy choice with winners, losers, and fingerprints all over it. The line’s power comes from how it repurposes an elite buzzword into a moral demand. “We must create” is a blunt rebuke to the idea that countries like Argentina should simply “adapt” to rules written elsewhere. It’s agency talk, aimed as much at Washington, the IMF, and multinational finance as at domestic audiences tired of being told austerity is just grown-up economics.

The subtext is Argentine muscle memory: the 2001 collapse, the corralito, debt default, and a society that watched privatization and free capital flows enrich a narrow class while wages and public capacity cratered. Kirchner came to power insisting the crisis wasn’t merely mismanagement; it was the predictable outcome of a model that socialized risk and privatized gains. So “for everyone” isn’t a soft plea for fairness. It’s a claim that legitimacy itself depends on distribution: if globalization can’t deliver broad material security, it becomes politically toxic, breeding backlash and instability.

Rhetorically, the line works because it sounds moderate while signaling confrontation. He doesn’t reject globalization outright; he demands a redesigned version, one compatible with sovereignty, labor rights, and national development. The target is “not just for a few” - a compact, populist indictment of the Davos consensus, and an invitation to imagine integration on different terms: less trickle-down sermon, more negotiated social contract.
