link text Eduardo Del Rio " Rius"
We have a new book from Rius, called: Lexikón Economikón !
Here he is mocking the economy of México in particular, and economies in general as well.
This phrase is a "Definition" from this book.
As usual, the author is up to his usual cynical,humorous mischief.
Here is the translation exercise
Crisis viene del Griego " krysys" y significa eso : "Crisis". Viene siendo una serie interminable (casi) de trastornos políticos, económicos y sociales, a consecuencia de errores, metidas de pata, agresiones externas y políticas equivocadas de parte de los gobernantes (o que se creen).
Generalmente las crisis acaban cuando el enfermo sana.... o se muere.
