Reposta a um economista alemão a trabalhar nos Estado Unidos (Henry Kaspar)

É uma pena o comentário não ter sido aprovado. Mas ele teve que o ler.

I’m sorry sir. We will not let. „Monetary policies“ is not even a strong concept. You see… Financial instruments are not in the hand of politics. The finances are still a market. One that seeks profit… Like the one of fish or fruit. Finances are a ruthless business. We will not let private sector to keep their hands in „monteray policies“. Not the European Central Bank, not commercial banks, much less the private rating agencies, etc…). You see, most of them were not built to bring liberty and equity. And sir… Do never forget... Even if we would gather all the money in the world we would not be able to pay all the debt in the world to these arcaic institutions. You must understand people no longer care about competitiveness. We know that even if we would work harder and for less money we would never be able to pay back all our debts. Euro will obviously fail. Dollar will fail. But European Union will not fail, and The United States of America will not fail… Every currencies that allow interest therefore allowing that the existing debt is always bigger that the money to pay it will fail, but the people will not fail. The people never did. There is one thing in common to all great evoltions/revolutions… individual freedom was taken away. And people are starting to feel that… because people will always be forced to work more for less, almost like in a slave sytem society, when even private property is taken when people cannot pay indivdual debts. We may have weak politics (in Portugal our prime minister was ellected by 1,5 million people, we are 10 million.) But  we are not weak. We, the people all over the world, our parents, our kids are thinking. I’m sorry sir. Thinking the art of finance and the economy sciences, taking in consideration the motivations of people to work, the Humans Rights Declaration and the consuming power of civilians, is not an anti-intellectual reason. It is surely harder to think finances outside the old ways. But it is only urgent to do it. I’m not really sorry when i say I think that your graduation principles migh get oudated sooner that you think. If you would only understand what we feel maybe you could see that the solution is not in empovering countries according to tight monetary policies.

Best regards… One of the 99% (in Portugal)
