Europe is becoming an undemocratic continent where force matters more than law | Comment is free | The Guardian
october 2015 by asterisk2a
Only banks, global corporations and the superrich have any power against this faceless semi-superstate [...] In the past year, on two occasions when tested, European solidarity fell apart. [...] The real power, meanwhile, sits with large corporations, banks and elites. And here’s the strangest thing: for all the power concentrated at the top, the EU lacks the will to operate purposefully in the multipolar global power system. We know, roughly, what the US wants. Ditto for China and Russia. Ask what Europe wants – in Ukraine, Syria or the Arctic circle – and you’ll draw a blank. In a multipolar world, whose chaos zones are expanding, effective states with clear diplomatic aims and red lines matter.

Big businesses should agree to renounce aggressive tax planning, says HMRC | Business | The Guardian
july 2015 by asterisk2a
[ Voluntary, are you kidding me!? ] The government wants the UK’s largest businesses to sign a voluntary code of conduct on tax which would see them renounce aggressive tax planning and vow to follow the spirit as well as the letter of the law. // [ rootless crony capitalistic tax evaders with profit maximization and shareholder value on mind ... to pay more!? ] [ how intellectual dishonest can one be!? (Osborne, Cameron and Co.) we are obviously not all in this together! He ask the poorest, disabled and unemployed to do their best (or work more hours, harder and asking their employer to pay them more for the same amount of work - by cutting tax credits) and if it doesn't yield results, cuts the benefits (his 'only work pays' mantra ... and ask crony rootless global conglomerates to be a little easier on tax planning through a "voluntary code of conduct" ]

- increases cost for people and businesses, doing business. in USA, compared to elsewhere. Ops Cost. ie Commuting times. biggest well being/health cost to employees and thus businesses (sick days and productivity and health care spending) same with air and water pollution. same with defences against flooding (drainage and sewers). same with fallen trees on electricity lines during storms (rail and street disruption). // China is building controversially not for the next 5-10 years. It is building for the next 20-30 years because (1) political system and (2) for the purpose of keeping GDP growth up y/y at an arbitrarily number of ie 5-7%. Without regard for the quality, the multiplier, repair cost (up keep cost of an empty road or building till it is fully utilized in 5-10 years time). // US, UK, etc could also additionally to the gasoline tax put on a levy of 0.1-2% on gross revenue of all businesses.

Robert J. Shiller: "Are We Headed for Another Financial Crisis?" (final edition, as of MAR 8) - YouTube
july 2015 by asterisk2a
3rd ed adds bond market. where richard koo explains bond prices are a symptom of the balance sheet recession as is "deflationary." // liquidity trap // predicting turning points is bad business - highlighting fundy skew is easy. // equity bubble BURST? no. bond bubble BURST? no. how abt unreasonable higher interest rates for businesses bc of Taper from Fed long dated bonds into illiquid market. like Koo argues as possibility, which would depress gdp growth further bc of higher capital cost than the economy fundy actually would demand. contributing 2 the secular stagnation. // Other case: Crash of China (too much of a good thing, irrational exuberance) & Western Central Banks have no means 2 ease further & Career Politicians have no guts 2 actually pull out the guns for once 4 intelligent fiscal stimulus w a long-term view (no white elephants & bridges 2 nowhere). // 19:30 status anxiety, Sozialer Abstieg, everyone for himself, austerity, inequality, Software, etc = secular stagnation

Why Greece’s European Agreement Is Not a Bailout - YouTube
july 2015 by asterisk2a
'Tsipras was digging his own grave.' That he goes home now with that deal that has to be passed by Parliament, this deal after the referendum no on bailout terms less harsh, that is tough. Demuetigung by Eurogroup and Co. To go home with even more stricter terms, the people that elected him on an anti-austerity platform and gave a resounding 61% no to the bailout terms given February 2015 after the election of Syriza.

referendum yes no - was not planned through if Eurogroup would not budge to demands of lesser austerity terms. Syriza had no plan (Grexit) for this case, how it played out. Thus (Tsipras) had to accept (capitulated) any offer Eurogroup offered; privatisation of state assets with an aim to raise 50bn, no debt restructuring nor forgiveness. // This is the 3rd bailout outcome; a bailout to repay previous bailouts (EFSF, IMF, ECB) and private debt obligations. Greece (Parliament) will have to accept Eurogroup offer/demands because they were not willing to opt by their own, the worst of the worst and the unknown of Grexit. 'Darin liegt auch die Demuetigung.' //

Employers warn of 'skills emergency' - BBC News
july 2015 by asterisk2a
More than half of employers fear they will not be able to recruit enough high-skilled workers, according to a survey by the CBI. The employers' organisation is warning that a skills shortage is "threatening to starve economic growth". [...] "The government has set out its stall to create a high-skilled economy, but firms are facing a skills emergency now, threatening to starve economic growth," said Ms Hall. "Worryingly, it's those high-growth, high-value sectors with the most potential which are the ones under most pressure. That includes construction, manufacturing, science, engineering and technology. [...] The survey also highlighted concerns about the need for better careers advice to help young people understand more about the jobs likely to be available.

Greece debt crisis puts Germany's Merkel under pressure - BBC News
july 2015 by asterisk2a
Of all of its creditors, Greece owes Germany the most - €68bn (£49bn; $75bn). // should compromise and change Germany internal debate whether we want to see 70% of our money or non at all in case of a Grexit in the next 5 years because Greece can no get back to economic growth and a real nationalistic and populistic elected gov that make Syriza look pale in comparison does elect to exit Euro voluntarily. Short sighted ideological national interest will bring worse than they can imagine - destroying the european dream and damaging europe as a whole as economy long-term (ie deflationary pressures ECB fights with more money, instead with political long-term resolution in the interest of THE EUROPEAN UNION, SOLIDARITY, they already did since GFC with their dither strategy, putting plasters on fault lines. Angela Merkel could have become the true Queen of Europe history would have remembered her. But she can only be national career politician & a lab worker (has science degree).

George Kerevan: A merciless attack on the poor ... to the sound of cheers | Comment | The National
july 2015 by asterisk2a
What about the cut to Corporation Tax, to 18 per cent? UK firms currently sit on £550bn in cash reserves which they have little inclination to spend, other than to buy back their shares. Cutting their taxes will only swell this useless cash mountain, not lead to more investment. Indeed, the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, in papers published with the Budget, forecasts Britain’s current account deficit on trade will worsen in the next five years – a sure sign of failing productivity and competitiveness. The Tories cheered George Osborne to the rafters yesterday but just wait until the economic roof falls in when American interest rates rise and Britain’s bubble economy has to face the real world.

Osborne's Budget: ‘High priest of an austerity cult’ | Politics | The National
july 2015 by asterisk2a
At its heart was a commitment to cut the deficit and bring the country in surplus by 2020. Osborne will achieve that partly through cuts to government spending, partly through new tax avoidance measures and substantially with hefty cuts to welfare. // &!

Equality: This Budget continues the project which impoverishes women - bit.ly/1D3dxrX - women make up ~70-77% of recipients of tax credit! &! tax credit essential for families on low income to top up to afford "living" [...] The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations is wholeheartedly against the removal of the automatic entitlement to Housing Benefit for 18 to 21-year-olds.

Alexis Tsipras im EU-Parlament: Viel reden, wenig sagen - SPIEGEL ONLINE
july 2015 by asterisk2a
bit.ly/1IJwjL7 Greece needs much more time for reform implementation and to get to a stable economy, till it even can be considered debt repayment - even if all creditors block a substantial haircut/debt jubilee - they had (Germany). IF THEY (creditors) can not see a 'common sense' deal through, Greece will have to issue IOU in lieu of Euro paper money for Pensioners, Civil Servants & Contractors or break with ECB and issue unsecured loans to Banks via Bank of Greece. AND/OR as well as probably enact Plan B for a return to the Drachma ( bit.ly/1D16Rus ) AND THEN - Juncker threatens-claims Tsipras to have in-detail Grexit plan ( bit.ly/1gobU36) already. This only speak to the dogma & ideology creditors live in. No willing to compromise for the future of european union and actually use the crisis as an opportunity for more integration and solidarity. A union that Europe needs for its future, existence.

Greece’s fight is for democracy in Europe. That’s why we must support it | Owen Jones | Comment is free | The Guardian
july 2015 by asterisk2a
The EU powers told Greeks their world would cave in unless they acquiesced by voting yes. The no vote has raised the political stakes even higher (by Owen Jones, author) The referendum was, of course, a rejection of an austerity programme that has unleashed what is commonly described in Greece as a humanitarian crisis. Since Lehman Brothers crashed in 2008, austerity has always relied on the displacement of blame from elites to elsewhere. It was Goldman Sachs who helped the then Greek government to cook the countrys books to win entry into the euro. It was German & French banks who profitably and recklessly lent to Greece, just as US banks disastrously showered subprime mortgages on low-paid Americans. It was Germany who benefited from being able to export its consumer goods to peripheral European countries such as Greece.

Münchau: Merkel zwischen Schuldenkonferenz und Grexit - SPIEGEL ONLINE
july 2015 by asterisk2a
[ Groesste feigheit und intelectual cynicism of EU history. "Alternativlos." BIS warned, time was wasted. ] Mit ideologischer Verbohrtheit beharren die Deutschen darauf, dass Griechenland all seine Kredite zurückzahlen muss - was so oder so nicht geschehen wird. Höchste Zeit also für eine Schuldenkonferenz! // Case of history - Treaty of Versailles = Nationalism (Nazi) and Rechtsruck! Happened in Greece and Co. and in Germany. // People learned and after WW2 and came together to give Europe a chance! >> London Debt Agreement (German: Londoner Schuldenabkommen) "An important term of the agreement was that repayments were only due while West Germany ran a trade surplus, and that repayments were limited to 3% of export earnings. This gave Germany’s creditors a powerful incentive to import German goods, assisting reconstruction." - bit.ly/1exF0vY bit.ly/1ep1dvW - also periphery countries like France, Italy, Spain and Portugal were encouraged by Allies not to demand war reparations.

The Tory budget plan to cut tax credits – is it naive or just plain cynical? | Politics | The Guardian
july 2015 by asterisk2a
[// If the Toff thinks firms will pay living wage & will not try to skirt around, he is intellectually a fraud & a cynic. //] [...] [P]roclaiming his renewed determination 2 take 12bn more out of the 220bn benefits bill, Osborne is being dishonest in an Alex Salmond sort of way. He & Dave have again ringfenced the £95bn pensioners share of the bill (state pensions plus perks like free TV licences), which is by far the largest component. Why? Pensioners bother to vote. They also retain the quaint old habit of buying newspapers. The Tory newspapers support pensioner perks. [ No Leadership, opportunistic, ... ] &! bit.ly/1KIQ4Tg Greek turmoil offers Osborne justification for his dictum of austerity [...] UK Manufacturing just 10% of Economy, oil capital shrinking, &!

Griechenland: Slavoj Zizek im Interview über Tripras - SPIEGEL ONLINE
july 2015 by asterisk2a
Mehr Europa: Im Interview verteidigt der Slowene Slavoj Zizek die Tsipras-Regierung - und deren Idee eines Referendums. Von Philip Kaleta [...] Zizek: Die griechische Regierung hat wiederholt ihre Absicht klar gemacht, Griechenland sowohl in der EU als auch in der Eurozone halten zu wollen. Diese Haltung ist völlig eindeutig, Referendum hin oder her. Es geht heute darum, ob der Sparkurs weiterverfolgt wird oder neue Wege eingeschlagen werden. Die Kritiker von Tsipras versuchen, den Kern des Referendums in eine Schicksalsfrage umzudeuten. [...] Ohne einen solchen Plan [oekonomischer neuanfang] würde sich die Krise letztlich immer wieder reproduzieren. [...] Sogar der IWF hat eingeräumt, dass Griechenland einen groß angelegten Schuldenerlass braucht, um "Raum zum Atmen" zu schaffen und die Wirtschaft wieder zum Laufen zu bringen. [...] In Ihrem aktuellen Buch plädieren Sie für eine europäische Leitkultur, ... [ bailout = socialism for tbtf/jail and donors, lobby & country club ]

Greek referendum: how would top economists vote? | World news | The Guardian
july 2015 by asterisk2a
"A no vote would at least open the possibility that Greece, with its strong democratic tradition, might grasp its destiny in its own hands. [...] [I]s far more hopeful than the unconscionable torture of the present." [...] The troika clearly did a reverse Corleone – they made Tsipras an offer he can’t accept, and presumably did this knowingly [ Blackmail offer they (Syriza) could not accept - bbc.in/1GV19uS &! bbc.in/1TcpC7s &! youtu.be/g3YF38exVNo ]. So the ultimatum was, in effect, a move to replace the Greek government. [T]hat has to be disturbing for anyone who believes in European ideals. [...] I recommend that the Greek people give a resounding “No” to the creditors in the referendum on their demands this weekend. // &! The Guardian view on the Greek referendum: hard to imagine a more dismal choice - Editorial - bit.ly/1LZS7kv - The Greek crisis has led Brussels into the business of regime change // &!

Greek economy close to collapse as food and medicine run short | World news | The Guardian
july 2015 by asterisk2a
Banks said they had a €1bn cash buffer to see them through the weekend – equal to just €90 (£64) a head for the 11 million-strong population – and would require immediate help from the European Central Bank on Monday whatever the result of the referendum, in which the two sides are running neck and neck. Alexis Tsipras, Greece’s prime minister, was fighting for his political life on Friday night, using a rally to say that a no vote would enable him to negotiate a reform-for-debt-relief deal with the country’s creditors. [ Greece needs debt jubilee (and Allies urged also to forgo reparations) like post-WW2/Nazi Germany got that enabled it to economically succeed, but Greece (and its people) is not seen as too big to fail and not critical for European stability. A 20 year debt repayment pause that IMF last week brought in, is not enough. It is just a delay. It's economically not sound. Just opportunism to show to the public 'we do something.' ]

Wenn man mal 1 Million Euro für einen kulturellen oder sozialen Zweck braucht, dann bekommt man ein Nein, aber bei den Banken gibt es immer nur ein Ja. [...] Ich habe Ihnen zugehört, Frau Bundeskanzlerin. Ihre Rede kann ich wie folgt zusammenfassen: Die griechische Regierung hat alles falsch gemacht, und Sie, Herr Schäuble und die europäischen Institutionen, also der Internationale Währungsfonds, die Europäische Kommission und die Europäische Zentralbank, haben alles richtig gemacht. // via bit.ly/1R6V2yA

july 2015 by asterisk2a
Earlier reporting reveals that following talks last week in Berlin with Merkel, Hollande complained that nothing of substance was achieved; it was purely for show. Hollande had found the chancellor fixated on the Fiscal Pact and above all on Greece, on which he claimed she had given up and was unwilling to budge. // Angela (Germany) put(s) national and personal political interests first second third and last .... // symptoms of our time, even politicians jump on "everybody for himself" //

Griechenland-Krise: Wir verspielen Europa - Kommentar - SPIEGEL ONLINE
june 2015 by asterisk2a
Die Griechen können sich per Referendum aus dem Euro wählen, die Briten über einen EU-Austritt abstimmen: Europa droht auseinanderzubrechen - weil wir alle uns zu wenig dafür einsetzen. [...] Griechenland drohen der Staatsbankrott und ein chaotisches Ausscheiden aus der Eurozone. Die Briten sollen in einigen Monaten über den Verbleib in der EU abstimmen. Eine gemeinsame europäische Strategie für den Flüchtlingsansturm über das Mittelmeer ist nicht in Sicht. Die Geheimdienst-Ausspähungen haben die USA und Europa einander entfremdet, während Russland an einer undurchsichtigen Expansionsstrategie arbeitet.

Griechenland vor dem Referendum: Banken sind Herd der Krise - SPIEGEL ONLINE
june 2015 by asterisk2a
Angesichts dieser Lage würden rationale Menschen den Schaden begrenzen wollen. Die einzige Möglichkeit, die es jetzt noch gibt, wäre ein verhandelter Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland ohne neues Programm, aber mit einer Refinanzierung der griechischen Banken. Mit anderen Worten: Wir müssten die Schmach über uns ergehen lassen, dass wir einem Teilverzicht unserer Forderungen zustimmen und gleichzeitig einen weiteren Kredit vergeben. So irrsinnig, wie sich das anhört, so sinnvoll wäre ein solcher Schritt aus deutscher Sicht. Nicht aus Mitleid oder Verantwortung. Sondern aus Eigennutz. Die Betonung hier liegt auf Teil-Verzicht. // // in the end it was a bank bailout through the backdoor sold to the people as Greece Bailout, the money went to the EU banks. period. so sell it as it is, the fucking pig. isn't politics about compromise? >> THUS LOL by Merkel call for more compromise - bit.ly/1Lyfjsc &!

Greece isn't any old troubled debtor - BBC News
june 2015 by asterisk2a
What is very striking - and important - about the agonised talks between Greece and its creditors is that no European leader has tried to bind the feuding sides together with a call to European solidarity, or with any emotive rhetoric about how this great monetary project is all about prosperity and peace for all eurozone citizens. [Career Politicians are are managing the status quo. They are no missionaries.] Nor has any great sense been conveyed that maintaining the wholeness and integrity of the eurozone is a matter of passionate principle. Instead the public and private debate has been couched in the language of national interests, rather than the imperative of keeping the so-called great European project on the road. [...] And some of them would say the creditors are in self-harming denial [not accepting a haircut or lengthy pause of repayment till economy is on a growth track] Or to put it another way, Mrs Merkel and Mr Hollande don't want the backlash from their own citizens.

Revealed: hitlist of welfare cuts facing Britain's next chancellor | Politics | The Guardian
may 2015 by asterisk2a
No Representation; personal & corporate tax avoidance/evasion (criminal behaviour) & non-dom, as well as progressive tax code (just lowered last term to 45% for 150k.) Instead should be 50% as it was. As well as introducing a 55%/60% for 500k/1m. // &! UK living standards fell for all but the richest under coalition – analysis - bit.ly/1Rc2PZg // &! bit.ly/1JU55Cm "when it comes to cuts there is no longer any “low-hanging fruit”. What’s left are in large part harsh cuts hitting middle-income working families" [...] Cameron spoke this morning of a “one nation” Toryism but he will know his £12bn of cuts will disproportionately hit the poor, young sick and disabled. The cuts will deliver more pain, fear and instability to those they affect. [...] seriously dismantling the welfare state [Cameron and Tories] will know this carries a political cost. // &! bit.ly/1PwOhQg bit.ly/1GaA37k bit.ly/1Ij67FZ bit.ly/1FJecDL bit.ly/1IAKanv

Sozial ǀ Weder Egoist noch Altruist — der Freitag
july 2013 by asterisk2a
Dass jede und jeder das gleiche Recht hat, nach der eigenen Fasson glücklich zu werden – diese Gleichheit ist heute kaum mehr angreifbar. Parallel dazu ist die Gesellschaft zunehmend in Reich und Arm zerrissen. [...] Gleichheit braucht gleiche Rechte, und krasse ökonomische Ungleichheiten untergraben das Gleichheitsgefühl: Dieses Gefühl ist das Entscheidende, schwer zu Beschreibende. Gleichheit steht dann auf stabilem Fundament, wenn man andere als Ähnliche erlebt; wenn alle mit allen „auf Augenhöhe“ leben und für eine „Leichtigkeit des Miteinanders“ stehen. Eine Welt der Gleichen, schreibt Rosanvallon, „ist als eine definiert, in der jeder sich in die Lage der anderen hineinversetzen kann“.

Gladwell on Income Inequality: We're Off the Rails - YouTube
april 2012 by asterisk2a
Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell discusses America's dramatically changing notions of wealth and income inequality since the mid-20th century. Gladwell notes that top-earning Americans faced a 91% income tax rate during most of the 1950s. "What's amazing is that, if you even bring this up now, people don't believe you," he says.

What Would Keynes Say Today? - NYTimes.com
october 2010 by asterisk2a
Keynes would certainly agree that current unemployment rates reflect a recession-induced shortfall in the demand for labor. The evidence for this claim has been deftly summarized by Paul Krugman, citing studies by the Economic Policy Institute and the Roosevelt Institute. The competing argument that we are simply experiencing a mismatch between employer needs and labor force skills lacks credibility.
Conservative economists like Robert Barro of Harvard University insist that increased government spending will have little positive effect
[...]
Policy prescriptions cannot be implemented unless they garner sufficient political support.
[...]
In today’s global economy, however, employers have less incentive to collaborate with workers than they once did. Multinational firms can easily relocate to low-wage, low-tax havens. With one click of a mouse, shareholders can move their capital out of the United States into mutual funds invested entirely in emerging markets, including China.

Umfrage: Mehrheit der Manager befürwortet Reichensteuer - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Wirtschaft
june 2010 by asterisk2a
Konkret würden 54 Prozent im Fall von Steuererhöhungen am ehesten die Reichen belasten - entweder über eine Wiedereinführung der Vermögensteuer oder eine Anhebung des Spitzensteuersatzes für höhere Einkommensgruppen.
Diese sogenannte Reichensteuer hatten SPD, Grüne und Linkspartei immer wieder ins Gespräch gebracht, auch einzelne Unionspolitiker befürworten die Idee. Für die schwarz-gelbe Bundesregierung ist dies jedoch kein Thema: Ihr Sparpaket setzt vor allem bei den Sozialleistungen an, Spitzenverdiener werden geschont.
