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 Wenn Politiker und Journalisten den Eindruck vermitteln wollen, dass die Folgen der Finanzkrise zu einem „fundamentalen Vertrauensverlust“ in den Staat geführt hätten, dann ist dies fundamentaler Unsinn.
Zinslast im Sinkflug Auch Deutschland profitiert bei der Betrachtung der Zinslast von der Krise. Deutsche Bank CEO Just Gave A Terrifying Speech In Frankfurt. Deutsche Bank CEO Just Gave A Terrifying Speech In Frankfurt (DB) Josef Ackermann just gave a terrifying speech about the fragility of the Euro banking sector right now. We have translated the speech based on Handelsbatt's, the organizer of the event where Ackermann spoke, account of it.
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. " "In recent weeks, the distrust of the financial markets has spread to the banks because they are now suffering from the debt crisis in Europe and have a lot of exposure to, for example, Greek bonds. " "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. " There are three major stress factors crushing Euro banks right now, he says: the debt crisis, structural factors and financial regulation. The situation looks dire.

Economic Rape Of America - Contents. Quand le peuple islandais vote contre les banquiers. Quand le peuple islandais vote contre les banquiers, par Silla Sigurgeirsdóttir et Robert Wade. 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 ? Tels étaient les enjeux du référendum organisé le 10 avril 2011 en Islande. Ce jour-là, pour la seconde fois, le gouvernement sondait la population : acceptez-vous de rembourser les dépôts de particuliers britanniques et néerlandais à la banque privée Icesave ? L’issue du scrutin prend une coloration particulière au moment où, sous la pression des spéculateurs, de la Commission européenne et du Fonds monétaire international (FMI), les gouvernements du Vieux Continent imposent des politiques d’austérité pour lesquelles ils n’ont pas été élus.
Juste avant la crise, en 2007, tout va encore pour le mieux : le revenu moyen islandais s’établit au cinquième rang mondial et devance de 60 % celui des Etats-Unis.

Slothful school holidays are upon us, but it's never too late for a geography test.
So let me begin: which country has the fastest-growing inequality and poverty of any developed economy, according to the heavyweight OECD thinktank? Let me guess – you're thinking Broken Britain, or post-Dubya America. Wrong: it's in the euro. And – one final clue – workers here are paid some of the lowest wages in western Europe. Ah: Greece, Portugal or another of those eurozone basket cases in dire straits?
I know it sounds wrong. The result is that to many of the questions raised by the great financial crisis – about how to manage an economy and how to retain a healthy manufacturing industry, among others – the answer from both right and left in the UK tends to be: whatever Germany does. For George Osborne and David Cameron, Germany is a shining example of what riches await if you keep a hawkeye on public finances, and a diverse, localised economy.
