@@xxloominati Actually the European Pariliament is a political Union while the EEC and Schengen is an economic Union. The EU is much, much more. The European Project is a Union of the member states similar to a federal government. We are a single community of Europeans acting as one country inside the EU, while retaining our own member state sovereignty and identity.
why do we have to have a European federal superstate? why not a united nations of Europe, basically the eec as it once was. if countries want to cooperate they can but with no obligation. a lot of people like Britain to be British, france to be French, that is diversity too. we don't want to be a homogenous blob.
I guess because history, since the beginning of the continent's history, all regions always had that bad habit of trying to kill each other for resources all the time (land but most important people to put into physical labor), some people tried making nations some kind of "family" by fixed marriages, but that didn't work very well, since the last big war, the WW2 a few people with big power thought of ways to avoid another world war and they thought to do it with money and trade, modern capitalism and globalization are devices made to make more difficult for all countries involved not invested in war and conflicts, that is why China do not engage with military offensive with their big customers (except Taiwan, for other reasons), globalization and free market capitalism was meant to bring world peace keeping each country depending on others, but it brought more instability and more corruption, wars for resources are still around in front of us, more brutal, more horrible and more criminal, but until now it was only in nations nobody cared about, except when their people seek asylum and ultra corrupt and lazy politicians use them as tools for elections.
As much as I believe a nation's growth and an economic recession are related and how economic downturns are natural, now is the moment to rethink the policies that are to blame especially with the ECB increasing rates and making loan repayments harder for the basic people. In either case, I'm happy I sold the vast majority of my assets for a premium.
The question is neither to long nor to short, I guess. Knowing when to enter and exit is more important. This is why getting financial help from a professional is so common. I consider myself to have experienced the market's negative aspects to a fair degree. With the help of Yvonne Annette Lively's analysis, I was able to reconstruct my pt. The market, not a lake, is an ocean, I am certain of that. Experience is required to analyze. The dollar will recover, just like the euro.
@MsMissy not it's not most European countries have filled there gas reserve up 80% whe have started importing gas from the us and and other countries government have give subsidiaries to people who cannot afford very high gas and energy prices so the "poor" are to heavily effected nether are the richer people it certainly will be more expensive then before but we are not going all die and collapse
@@herodesees3767for a net contributor state like Denmark (my country), its in fact [PAY MORE GET LESS] sort of thing, so its not cheaper its HELL OF AN EXPENSIVE AFFAIR!!!
@@kristianchristensen2254 Actually being a Net contributor is still far cheaper than the alternative, as the free trade and freedom of movement within the EU allow for added economic growth and therefore compensates the high contribution Payments. Denmark is actually benefitting from the EU in many ways. being a relatively small country dependent on free trade, fishing in foreign territory, limited international influence due to it's size etc. The Danish Kroner is basically pegged to the Euro, which Is also highly beneficial for Eurozone trade. Anyway, Denmark is also a net contributer to Greenland and Faroe Islands, which is where Denmark actually loses it's taxpayers money. It is clear that those payments are never recouped, at least not in monetary terms. Now I definitely believe that payments to Greenland and Faroe Islands are worth it as they would otherwise need to increase their revenue from oil extraction and other resource-depleting activities. In addition, the EU is a project of peace, solidarity, cooperation and cross,-cultural understanding in addition to being an Economic and Political free trade project. Even if Denmark doesn't gain that much economically from the project (although actually it does increase economic growth significantly) it still receives the many benefits at no cost. For example it is possible to study in other EU member states at essentially no additional cost, Schengen allows easy travel between member states and the "closeness" and "interdependence" of the member states essentially rules out war on the European continent.

There should be a referendum in every country and the people should have the rights to decide their future and whether they want some immigrants in their country and exactly what type of immigrants these is their rights and it should not be decided by the politicians in Brussel.The politicians in Brussels should first of all lookout for the interests of the people they represent and the future of their country should be secured.This is what the politicians are supposed to respect and if there’s outside interest for immigration then this should be discussed with the people and they shall then decide whether they want some immigrants and what type of people and how many.

You have to generate wealth in the private sector to have some left over to support the public sector. Europe's economic policies discourage job creation and new business.
Remember Tony Blair was the catalyst for a burgeoning public sector and made public sector oligarchs on a par with the private sector but without the risks to themselves. Crazy.

The EU is destined to fail and I sincerely hope that it does. The EU is based on the model of collectivism. In other words, you have the principle of BIG GOVERNMENT, SMALL PEOPLE. Basically, you have the elevation of the state over the individual; a TOP DOWN approach to matters of political life. The problem is that in the UK we believe that politics should be from the BOTTOM-UP and not from the TOP-DOWN. In other words, we citizens elect our representatives to serve our interests. In short, politicians are nothing more than servants of the people. Ultimately, therefore, we believe in the elevation of the individual over the state - the precise opposite of the EU model. Countries like the US, Australia and UK, etc embrace the model of INDIVIDUALISM. Put simply, SMALL GOVERNMENT, BIG PEOPLE! We, the people, put our politicians where they are for our benefit and they take their orders from us. We, the people, are their employer! Now contrast this with the European model of collectivism - where the individual is regarded as a mere insect and of no consequence whatsoever. The TOP-DOWN approach to politics in the EU ensures misery for everyone bar the political elite and their associates. The EU is corrupt and corrupting from top to bottom and the sooner it dies - the better off everyone will be.
@ML8593wy That's a matter of perspective. There have always been two competing philosophies at work which both shape and underpin our view of the world. These philosophies are known as Individualism VS Collectivism. These philosophies lay at the heart of everything. "Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights and that his life and work belong to the group. The group may also sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism". Fascism and communism are not two opposites, but two rival gangs fighting over the same territory. Both are variants of statism, based on the collectivist principle that man is the rightless slave to the state". "Individualism regards man - every man - as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life - a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful coexistence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights - and that a group has no rights other than the individual rights of its members" These two philosophies are totally irreconcilable.
@@theyakamoz1 Yes, collectivism is a creeping menace that has virtually affected every sphere of political Life. Even in the US, which is often regarded as the most individualistic country, has seen it's freedoms gradually eroded over the decades. 80% of the US Government I would now say - operates under a collectivist philosophy. When you reach a 100% collectivism - that's the end of freedom as you know it. It's not just Australia, but the cancer of collectivism has virtually spread all over the world. It is evident within all the people's and the Governments which supposedly represent them. COVID is just another weapon in their arsenal, like climate change, to bring about the type of society that they truly seek. Put simply, the powers that be want a world government based on the model of collectivism. In other words, the individual is a mere cog in the machine and the state gets to rule on everything of political and social significance. I have always regarded the Australians as a straight-talking, no-nonsense people with a wicked/dry sense of humour. I truly do believe that many of the older generation Australians are very individualistic by nature, but the modern types not so much. I have seen this with my own eyes time and time again. The modern generation of Australians are very much hampered with political correctness - much of which stems from collectivism - which has deeply affected them.
And British are not corrupt ? do me a favour the establishment don't give a shit about the working class. Nothing can get passed in the euro unless all countries agree and we have several get out clauses and I think that is very democratic. This view is a me me me selfish outlook.
@@progpuss Of course the British are corrupt. Every country on this planet is corrupt to some degree or another. In the real world, every person is motivated purely by self-interest. You only have one life to live and so it's hardly surprising that 'I' comes before 'We'. When you say that the 'establishment don't give a shit about the working class' - it would be more accurate to say that individuals who occupy positions of high power are looking out for their own interests. The world fundamentally works by individuals pursuing their own separate interests. In other words, the emphasis is always and rightly so - on the individual. Furthermore, countries don't agree on anything - individuals do. Self-interest FIRST. 'Society' - a secondary consideration. 'Every man for himself' is an individualistic ideal. It has nothing to do with selfishness. It simply means that every man and woman has a duty to take care of themselves and live life according to their own values. They must also stand on the judgement of their own mind and therefore think independently. Individualism = freedom and independence. Collectivism = force and coercion. Make up your own mind which philosophy is more moral.

People should have choice in regards smoking so long as it's a contained area. It seems her party affiliation means she's biased against the EU and her prediction is really her wish with cherry picked facts.
The only mistake she made was putting a timeline on its inevitable collapse but the points she made are as valid today as when this short piece was put together. The European Union has essentially failed so the only question that remains is when and how it will disintegrate. Given the whole project is now driven by little more than inertia as opposed to economic or democratic expediency then the only question that remains to be addressed is how long the European elite can drag the whole thing out. Since any breakup is going to be very painful my prediction is the eventual coup de grace will come as a result of some sort of cataclysmic external events as we witnessed in 2008
I agree that the economic situation for Europe does look grim at the moment and will likely stay that way until more meaningful changes are done.

As I said, capitalism isn't an ideal. It is simply what happens when you respect individual rights, especially private property. It grew out of the classical liberal tradition. It is a FACT that capitalism is the consequence of the protection of private property rights. There are a number of ideologies which advocate private property rights, such as Objectivism, classical liberalism, different forms of libertarianism, some aspects of conservativism, and so on.

It didn't cause the crisis in the EU. It didn't help at all obviously but the EU is in trouble because the interest rate at which countries like Greece and Portugal could borrow money went from 18% to 3% overnight when the Euro was formed. Literally overnight. They then borrowed more money, as they could now do so even though nothing in their country changed. They went from 18% to 3% as Germany now essentially guaranteed repayments. The trouble is, Germany only has so much money (and patience, I imagine) and now were at a stage where German politicians tell Greek politicians what austerity measures to take and what cuts to make etc. Its a sticky situation and both countries have a genuine right to be annoyed at the other, as neither peoples got a say on any of it. So while Lehman Brothers and RBS royally screwed everyone in the USA and UK out of £100's of £Billions, and caused the collapse of a few other companies and markets, they didn't cause this rift between North and South Europe. the Euro is the problem and its members states attitudes of keeping it at all costs.
james peers Isn't that exactly the point though? These huge loans are taken out from the IMF of which the people are expected to pay interests, yet the people never see a cent of these loans which go to benefit the elites. This is exactly what went down in the US when we bailed out the banks. We're now seeing the exact same thing in Ukraine, whose government has been overthrown and co-opted by US/EU overlords. They're now taking out huge loans which they'll never be able to repay and the Ukrainian people will be indebted to the banksters for life.
Jack Matheson Yeah, your right when you say the system is the same, totally. My point was that the EU crisis could have been avoided even if the financial crash in the USA and UK had happened. If Greece hadn't been allowed to borrow money at 3% interest then they would of been able to afford repayments when the time came. The financial crash is the reason debts got called in but how much would Greece of owed if it had kept its 18% interest rate, I wonder? A lot less I imagine. But yeah, same terrible system, I don't know why I argued lol
Jack Matheson: she is technical right about stating that the US has a great model in place. But you fail and she fails to realize that humans are greedy and can be bought for the right price. I probably could give you a billion dollars to wack your whole family and you would think about doing it. Or some offers you a job where they give millions of tax free money straight into your account, all you have to do to sign a bill and make sure it get passed into law. Money is the issue. It will be a forever issue with humans. Valuing money rather than valuing knowledge is our greatest flaw.
I was born in Portugal, traveled all over Europe, studied and lived in Italy, worked and lived in France and Switzerland, lived and often go to Spain and I love the freedom that Europe offers me, so despite all the flaws of europe, I am above all European and will always be European. And like me, there are many, and we are willing to fight for it, so Europe will never end.
the EU is not Europe, the EU is a blip on Europe's history. When the EU is gone, you will still be able to go Spain, France. People confuse this incompetent bureaucratic nightmare that is the EU with Europe, with Europeans. If you truly love Europe, then you cannot love the EU.
You do know that the EU didnt create the concept of travelling, right? Neither did it invent the process of immigration. If the EU ends tomorrow you can still go live and work abroad, even Thomas Hobbes travelled to various countries in europe and it was the XVII freaking century...

In fact, these third world nations would be better off if we managed to "exploit" them more, i,e, trade with them the goods we produce for goods they produce. Their problem isn't America's capitalism. It is their LACK of capitalism. They have very repressed economies, and their people prosper once their governments start repressing them LESS, letting them have more capitalism. China is an excellent example.
In essence, Barbara Kolm (who used to be in a right-wing populist party in Austria) argues that the EU will fail because the public sectors in EU countries are too large. She even twists the whole story around Sweden to make it look like Sweden has now become a leading free-market economy, even though the public sector in Sweden is one of the biggest in Europe. There is no mention whatsoever about the real causes of the economic woes in Europe right now, which revolve around the structural errors in the eurozone, which prevented the eurozone to adequately respond to the failures in the deregulated financial sector around 2007. When Barbara Kolm mentions Spain's woes, she fails to add that before the crisis, Spain (and Ireland) had a budget surplus, and got into deficit territory because it (they) had to save the banks which had made huge investment mistakes. It was only after the government(s) had to step in to save the Spanish (and Irish) banks, that the public debt started to soar. Her advice to the US, "don't become Europe", which for Kolm means, "don't increase the public sector," makes no sense: the US could very well profit from higher minimum wages to increase demand, higher capital gains taxes to lower inequality, and better education to increase social mobility. What Europe could learn from the US is: create a federal fiscal system such as it exists in the US, and which prevented some US states with vulnerable financial sectors from going bankrupt during the financial meltdown of 2008.
You are completely on point. The 21st century needs to see a separation between tax payers and depositors. 400 years ago, depositors acted as insurance (share holders) to the bank's investments and in return earned Interest. Tax payers saved and "donated" a percentage of equity or income to their community to ensure basic communal functions were adequate and kept up. Of course when religions and governments began wars against one another, financial institutions were established to lend out and accept deposits from both parties. Move forward, cyclical economic policies have not separated this partisanship. Central banking and tax collecting should not be separate. Depositors and tax payers (bailing out over leveraged banks) should not be responsible for unregulated or unadvised investments nor should they be punished for those banks not having adequate insurance. What we are seeing today is very similar to what occurred during the 1620s through 1680s. However, today, 7.3 billion people are dependent on a system of commodities valued upon fiat currencies that are insured by petroleum. The minute depositors stop saving and "donating" to their public servants in the form of taxes, or rather can afford to do so, we will see a currency bubble pop faster than the tulip blight in 1637. Game. Over.
As to fascism, that is also a form of socialism, despite what you have been taught. Only the state leaves property NOMINALLY in the hands of private owners, and simply takes control of the private owners, telling them what to do with their property. Ownership of property means you have the right to keep, use, and dispose of property, excluding others from use of it. But under fascism, the government is not excluded, and decides how property is used, acting as the de-facto owner.
The major difference between communism and capitalism is where communism requires coercion and force - capitalism requires nothing. Capitalism is strictly voluntary (the antithesis of coercion). Capitalism happens organically - through the trading of one man's money for another's - proper money, of course, being the summation of his value to society. Communism requires force not money, and force is diametrically opposed to civil liberties and transitively social justice.

well 9 year late I'm glad to see dr Kolm prediction is just about to come - I cant see EU (i.e. Brussels dictatorship) survive another year in current circumstances... and that I guess is for good!
This is exaxtly what ive been telling people for years...its about time the rest of the eu slaves followed the brits and leave the eu to continie sinking itself.
This is a pure ideological position, what is fine for anyone to have. It just shouldn't be passed as a technical solution, free markets don't necessarily solve problems neither the governments are always bad. The major problems in Europe today where partly caused by markets colapsing and partly caused by politicians hiding behing technocracy that sells itself as science when it's mostly ideological.

She behaves as if she was in primary school and herd something bad about EU and without checking information she blandly repits it. And Greases crisis is there own fault not EU’s. In fact EU saved Grease from economical collapse.

@@herodesees3767for a net contributor state like Denmark (my country), its in fact [PAY MORE GET LESS] sort of thing, so its not cheaper its HELL OF AN EXPENSIVE AFFAIR!!!
@@kristianchristensen2254 Actually being a Net contributor is still far cheaper than the alternative, as the free trade and freedom of movement within the EU allow for added economic growth and therefore compensates the high contribution Payments. Denmark is actually benefitting from the EU in many ways. being a relatively small country dependent on free trade, fishing in foreign territory, limited international influence due to it's size etc.
The Danish Kroner is basically pegged to the Euro, which Is also highly beneficial for Eurozone trade.
Anyway, Denmark is also a net contributer to Greenland and Faroe Islands, which is where Denmark actually loses it's taxpayers money. It is clear that those payments are never recouped, at least not in monetary terms.
Now I definitely believe that payments to Greenland and Faroe Islands are worth it as they would otherwise need to increase their revenue from oil extraction and other resource-depleting activities.
In addition, the EU is a project of peace, solidarity, cooperation and cross,-cultural understanding in addition to being an Economic and Political free trade project. Even if Denmark doesn't gain that much economically from the project (although actually it does increase economic growth significantly) it still receives the many benefits at no cost. For example it is possible to study in other EU member states at essentially no additional cost, Schengen allows easy travel between member states and the "closeness" and "interdependence" of the member states essentially rules out war on the European continent.

The EU is based on the model of collectivism. In other words, you have the principle of BIG GOVERNMENT, SMALL PEOPLE. Basically, you have the elevation of the state over the individual; a TOP DOWN approach to matters of political life.
The problem is that in the UK we believe that politics should be from the BOTTOM-UP and not from the TOP-DOWN. In other words, we citizens elect our representatives to serve our interests. In short, politicians are nothing more than servants of the people. Ultimately, therefore, we believe in the elevation of the individual over the state - the precise opposite of the EU model.
Countries like the US, Australia and UK, etc embrace the model of INDIVIDUALISM. Put simply, SMALL GOVERNMENT, BIG PEOPLE! We, the people, put our politicians where they are for our benefit and they take their orders from us. We, the people, are their employer!
Now contrast this with the European model of collectivism - where the individual is regarded as a mere insect and of no consequence whatsoever. The TOP-DOWN approach to politics in the EU ensures misery for everyone bar the political elite and their associates.
The EU is corrupt and corrupting from top to bottom and the sooner it dies - the better off everyone will be.
@ML8593wy That's a matter of perspective. There have always been two competing philosophies at work which both shape and underpin our view of the world. These philosophies are known as Individualism VS Collectivism. These philosophies lay at the heart of everything.
"Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights and that his life and work belong to the group. The group may also sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism". Fascism and communism are not two opposites, but two rival gangs fighting over the same territory. Both are variants of statism, based on the collectivist principle that man is the rightless slave to the state".
"Individualism regards man - every man - as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life - a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful coexistence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights - and that a group has no rights other than the individual rights of its members"
These two philosophies are totally irreconcilable.
@@theyakamoz1 Yes, collectivism is a creeping menace that has virtually affected every sphere of political Life. Even in the US, which is often regarded as the most individualistic country, has seen it's freedoms gradually eroded over the decades. 80% of the US Government I would now say - operates under a collectivist philosophy. When you reach a 100% collectivism - that's the end of freedom as you know it.
It's not just Australia, but the cancer of collectivism has virtually spread all over the world. It is evident within all the people's and the Governments which supposedly represent them.
COVID is just another weapon in their arsenal, like climate change, to bring about the type of society that they truly seek. Put simply, the powers that be want a world government based on the model of collectivism. In other words, the individual is a mere cog in the machine and the state gets to rule on everything of political and social significance.
I have always regarded the Australians as a straight-talking, no-nonsense people with a wicked/dry sense of humour. I truly do believe that many of the older generation Australians are very individualistic by nature, but the modern types not so much. I have seen this with my own eyes time and time again. The modern generation of Australians are very much hampered with political correctness - much of which stems from collectivism - which has deeply affected them.
And British are not corrupt ? do me a favour the establishment don't give a shit about the working class. Nothing can get passed in the euro unless all countries agree and we have several get out clauses and I think that is very democratic. This view is a me me me selfish outlook.
@@progpuss Of course the British are corrupt. Every country on this planet is corrupt to some degree or another. In the real world, every person is motivated purely by self-interest. You only have one life to live and so it's hardly surprising that 'I' comes before 'We'.
When you say that the 'establishment don't give a shit about the working class' - it would be more accurate to say that individuals who occupy positions of high power are looking out for their own interests.
The world fundamentally works by individuals pursuing their own separate interests. In other words, the emphasis is always and rightly so - on the individual. Furthermore, countries don't agree on anything - individuals do.
Self-interest FIRST. 'Society' - a secondary consideration.
'Every man for himself' is an individualistic ideal. It has nothing to do with selfishness. It simply means that every man and woman has a duty to take care of themselves and live life according to their own values. They must also stand on the judgement of their own mind and therefore think independently.
Individualism = freedom and independence. Collectivism = force and coercion. Make up your own mind which philosophy is more moral.

Thanks to the Swedish moderates cutting taxes in Sweden. Your country avoided the economic crisis and gave more jobs to your country. Let us hope the Swedish moderates or the Swedish Democrats win the next election.
Tht swedish moderates (right wing) has cut the taxes for the riches and now they had borrow money so the society not collapse.. And we did not avoid the crisis. Sweden have the highetst unemployed youth in northern countries (almost 25%). In this link (just translate with google) you can see how unemployment increase www.svd.se/naringsliv/nyheter/sverige/den-svenska-arbetslosheten-okar_8987974.svd

Ah Sweden - a feminist dream. Yes, the welcome arrival of many 'new Swedes' since this video has brought harmony and wealth to a troubled country.
A song for Sweden:
'I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land
(That's the song I hear)'
I'm sure the 'new Swedes' will reciprocate with love when they are the majority and making the decisions!

The EU should have stayed a customs union only, with no authority to interfere in the internal affairs of the member countries.As for the Euro currency, it could have been a common currency for inter-country exchanges only, like the "Trade Dollar" used in Asia (1850-1910).

As I said, capitalism isn't an ideal. It is simply what happens when you respect individual rights, especially private property. It grew out of the classical liberal tradition.
It is a FACT that capitalism is the consequence of the protection of private property rights. There are a number of ideologies which advocate private property rights, such as Objectivism, classical liberalism, different forms of libertarianism, some aspects of conservativism, and so on.

Nasi rządzący nie mają na tyle jaj i kompetencji, żeby zrobić co trzeba zrobić, aby Polska jako suwerenny kraj się rozwijała bez Unii. Być może sam nie masz takiej wiedzy, dlatego Unia jawi Ci się jako coś pięknego.
A wystarczyłoby znieść regulacje i obniżyć maksymalnie podatki. Kasa państwa napełniłaby się bardziej niż teraz, bo ludzie przestali by kombinować jak uniknąć podatków, a przedsiębiorczość by się rozwinęła. Czy naprawdę nie widzisz innego wyjścia poza byciem pijawką zachodu?

"the unions are to strong"? Thats a good thing.
Sweden is not a rolemodel, poverty and inecuality has grown since the 90s. Something that we in Sweden is struggling against now, thats why there is a talk to take the good parts of what was good before the 90s. We know now that privatisation was not good for Sweeden, it was devestating. You didnt see people sleeping in the streets before, now entire families are homeless in Sweden
I completely agree with vouchers as a way to cut costs. Much more troubling to me is the mandatory statist curriculum. As I understand it, any state that accepted stimulus dollars must accept the "Common Purpose" standards with no exceptions for charter, private, religious or home schooling. From what I've read about it so far, it's straight out of "The Little Red Book." Any thoughts on this?
I hope she is right but the unfortunate lesson I have learned is that bad government and socialism dies a very prolonged death. This is due to part greed and a lot of public ignorance about free market economics. If the public at large understood just how bad and corrupt socialism is they would demand that it be torn down immediately.

I don't understand why she touts the American System when that's what caused the economic collapse in the first place.
She is an economist, that's what they basically do...
It didn't cause the crisis in the EU. It didn't help at all obviously but the EU is in trouble because the interest rate at which countries like Greece and Portugal could borrow money went from 18% to 3% overnight when the Euro was formed. Literally overnight. They then borrowed more money, as they could now do so even though nothing in their country changed. They went from 18% to 3% as Germany now essentially guaranteed repayments. The trouble is, Germany only has so much money (and patience, I imagine) and now were at a stage where German politicians tell Greek politicians what austerity measures to take and what cuts to make etc. Its a sticky situation and both countries have a genuine right to be annoyed at the other, as neither peoples got a say on any of it. So while Lehman Brothers and RBS royally screwed everyone in the USA and UK out of £100's of £Billions, and caused the collapse of a few other companies and markets, they didn't cause this rift between North and South Europe. the Euro is the problem and its members states attitudes of keeping it at all costs.
james peers Isn't that exactly the point though? These huge loans are taken out from the IMF of which the people are expected to pay interests, yet the people never see a cent of these loans which go to benefit the elites. This is exactly what went down in the US when we bailed out the banks. We're now seeing the exact same thing in Ukraine, whose government has been overthrown and co-opted by US/EU overlords. They're now taking out huge loans which they'll never be able to repay and the Ukrainian people will be indebted to the banksters for life.
Jack Matheson Yeah, your right when you say the system is the same, totally. My point was that the EU crisis could have been avoided even if the financial crash in the USA and UK had happened.
If Greece hadn't been allowed to borrow money at 3% interest then they would of been able to afford repayments when the time came. The financial crash is the reason debts got called in but how much would Greece of owed if it had kept its 18% interest rate, I wonder? A lot less I imagine. But yeah, same terrible system, I don't know why I argued lol
Jack Matheson: she is technical right about stating that the US has a great model in place. But you fail and she fails to realize that humans are greedy and can be bought for the right price. I probably could give you a billion dollars to wack your whole family and you would think about doing it. Or some offers you a job where they give millions of tax free money straight into your account, all you have to do to sign a bill and make sure it get passed into law.
Money is the issue. It will be a forever issue with humans. Valuing money rather than valuing knowledge is our greatest flaw.
GB is not part of the in-group which is german manufacturing and french farming.
The EU/EEC was set up to protect both.
I was born in Portugal, traveled all over Europe, studied and lived in Italy, worked and lived in France and Switzerland, lived and often go to Spain and I love the freedom that Europe offers me, so despite all the flaws of europe, I am above all European and will always be European. And like me, there are many, and we are willing to fight for it, so Europe will never end.
the EU is not Europe, the EU is a blip on Europe's history. When the EU is gone, you will still be able to go Spain, France. People confuse this incompetent bureaucratic nightmare that is the EU with Europe, with Europeans. If you truly love Europe, then you cannot love the EU.
You do know that the EU didnt create the concept of travelling, right? Neither did it invent the process of immigration.
If the EU ends tomorrow you can still go live and work abroad, even Thomas Hobbes travelled to various countries in europe and it was the XVII freaking century...

In fact, these third world nations would be better off if we managed to "exploit" them more, i,e, trade with them the goods we produce for goods they produce.
Their problem isn't America's capitalism. It is their LACK of capitalism. They have very repressed economies, and their people prosper once their governments start repressing them LESS, letting them have more capitalism.
China is an excellent example.
In essence, Barbara Kolm (who used to be in a right-wing populist party in Austria) argues that the EU will fail because the public sectors in EU countries are too large. She even twists the whole story around Sweden to make it look like Sweden has now become a leading free-market economy, even though the public sector in Sweden is one of the biggest in Europe.
There is no mention whatsoever about the real causes of the economic woes in Europe right now, which revolve around the structural errors in the eurozone, which prevented the eurozone to adequately respond to the failures in the deregulated financial sector around 2007.
When Barbara Kolm mentions Spain's woes, she fails to add that before the crisis, Spain (and Ireland) had a budget surplus, and got into deficit territory because it (they) had to save the banks which had made huge investment mistakes. It was only after the government(s) had to step in to save the Spanish (and Irish) banks, that the public debt started to soar.
Her advice to the US, "don't become Europe", which for Kolm means, "don't increase the public sector," makes no sense: the US could very well profit from higher minimum wages to increase demand, higher capital gains taxes to lower inequality, and better education to increase social mobility. What Europe could learn from the US is: create a federal fiscal system such as it exists in the US, and which prevented some US states with vulnerable financial sectors from going bankrupt during the financial meltdown of 2008.
Loo Lee Good post.
You are completely on point.
The 21st century needs to see a separation between tax payers and depositors. 400 years ago, depositors acted as insurance (share holders) to the bank's investments and in return earned Interest. Tax payers saved and "donated" a percentage of equity or income to their community to ensure basic communal functions were adequate and kept up. Of course when religions and governments began wars against one another, financial institutions were established to lend out and accept deposits from both parties. Move forward, cyclical economic policies have not separated this partisanship. Central banking and tax collecting should not be separate. Depositors and tax payers (bailing out over leveraged banks) should not be responsible for unregulated or unadvised investments nor should they be punished for those banks not having adequate insurance.
What we are seeing today is very similar to what occurred during the 1620s through 1680s. However, today, 7.3 billion people are dependent on a system of commodities valued upon fiat currencies that are insured by petroleum. The minute depositors stop saving and "donating" to their public servants in the form of taxes, or rather can afford to do so, we will see a currency bubble pop faster than the tulip blight in 1637.
Game. Over.
As to fascism, that is also a form of socialism, despite what you have been taught. Only the state leaves property NOMINALLY in the hands of private owners, and simply takes control of the private owners, telling them what to do with their property. Ownership of property means you have the right to keep, use, and dispose of property, excluding others from use of it. But under fascism, the government is not excluded, and decides how property is used, acting as the de-facto owner.

The major difference between communism and capitalism is where communism requires coercion and force - capitalism requires nothing. Capitalism is strictly voluntary (the antithesis of coercion). Capitalism happens organically - through the trading of one man's money for another's - proper money, of course, being the summation of his value to society. Communism requires force not money, and force is diametrically opposed to civil liberties and transitively social justice.

This is a pure ideological position, what is fine for anyone to have. It just shouldn't be passed as a technical solution, free markets don't necessarily solve problems neither the governments are always bad. The major problems in Europe today where partly caused by markets colapsing and partly caused by politicians hiding behing technocracy that sells itself as science when it's mostly ideological.
