Während die Welt unter dem Joch der Spekulation an den Finanzmärkten leidet, konnte Deutschland seine finanzpolitische Situation in den letzten beiden Jahren merklich verbessern. Beleg dafür sind die deutlich gesunkenen Zinsen für Staatsanleihen, von denen nicht nur Deutschland, sondern auch andere Länder profitieren, die in den Turbulenzen der Finanzkrise als sicherer Hafen gelten. Anstatt diesen positiven Effekt dazu zu nutzen, zumindest im eigenen Lande die Krisenfolgen zu mildern, nutzt Deutschland die Gunst der Stunde, um ganz Europa auf den neoliberalen Kurs deutscher Schule zu zwingen. Die Folgen dieser Politik sind verheerend – auch für Deutschland. Von Jens Berger

At a conference in Frankfurt he said , "It is an open secret that numerous European banks would not survive having to revalue sovereign debt held on the banking book at market levels."

"Since the financial crisis, some European banks have lost a third or more of their market capitalization," he said, according to Google Translate. "Most institutions have a rating of "below the book value or at best."

Sous la pression des spéculateurs, de nombreux gouvernements ont fait le choix de l'impuissance.

Quand le peuple islandais vote contre les banquiers, par Silla Sigurgeirsdóttir et Robert Wade (Le Monde diplomatique)
Petite île, grandes questions. Les citoyens doivent-ils payer pour la folie des banquiers ? Existe-t-il encore une institution liée à la souveraineté populaire capable d’opposer sa légitimité à la suprématie de la finance ?Iceland's On-Going Revolution | Mostly Water - offene Ablage: nothing to hide
"…refused to ratify the law that would have made Iceland’s citizens responsible for its bankers’ debts, and accepted calls for a referendum… …93% voted against repayment of the debt. The IMF immediately froze its loan. But the revolution (though not televised in the United States), would not be intimidated…launched civil and penal investigations into those responsible for the financial crisis… Icelanders didn't stop there: they decided to draft a new constitution that would free the country from the exaggerated power of international finance and virtual money…
Iceland's On-Going Revolution | Mostly Water
An Italian radio program's story about Iceland’s on-going revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world. Americans may remember that at the start of the 2008 financial crisis, Iceland literally went bankrupt. The reasons were mentioned only in passing, and since then, this little-known member of the European Union fell back into oblivion.
