La deuda bilateral Germano Griega
|
Resumen:
Actualmente, la estructura de la deuda griega es mayormente oficial, lo que significa que los riesgos sistémicos para la zona euro y la Unión Europea son muy inferiores a lo que habrían sido hace unos años ya que ahora los bancos privados son titulares de una proporción mínima de esa deuda. El enfrentamiento es entre el Gobierno Griego y el Gobierno Alemán, detentor de gran parte de la deuda privada rescatada.
Este trasfondo resulta decisivo para las negociaciones actuales, ya que revela que el objeto del rescate de Grecia no ha sido el de restaurar la prosperidad del pueblo heleno, sino salvar a la banca privada.

Grecia: la reparación de guerra pendiente
|
Resumen:
El gobierno de Syriza se ha aferrado a rechazar las políticas de austeridad destructivas impuestas por la Troika (Comisión Europea CE, el Banco Central Europeo BCE y el Fondo Monetario Internacional FMI), y pidió a fines de enero, el mismo día que asumió el gobierno, una reducción de la deuda exterior de Grecia. El Eurogrupo -particularmente Alemania- está decidido a resistirse a cualquier condonación de la deuda, razón por la cual las partes han quedado empantanadas. La nueva estrategia griega parece estar centrada en cobrar la deuda alemana de la II Guerra Mundial que llega a 279,000 millones de euros o 300,000 millones de dólares.

For decades, the mainstream of both the Democratic and Republican parties favored expanding trade between the U.S. and other countries. Greater globalization, these politicians promised, would increase economic growth — and with the bounty from that growth, the country could compensate any workers who suffered from increased trade. But it didn’t work out that way. Instead, trade has contributed to the stagnation of living standards for millions of working-class Americans, by shrinking the number of good-paying, blue-collar jobs here. The incomes of workers without a bachelor’s degree have grown only slowly over the past few decades. Many measures of well-being — even life expectancy — have declined in recent years. All along, many politicians and experts continued to insist that trade was expanding the economic pie. And they were often right. But struggling workers understandably viewed those claims as either false or irrelevant, and they refused to support further expansions of trade. Fuente: |

Headlines are abuzz with the return of inflation, which, according to some measures, is now reaching 40 year highs. Considering that vanquishing inflation is supposed to be the one undisputed achievement of neoliberalism, why is it rising? Many explanations – from excessive money creation to disrupted supply chains to tightening labour markets and a post-lockdown surge in demand are offered. The view that it would be a short term affair is giving way to a more sobering assessment of its persistence, particularly since geopolitical conflict gave inflation a booster shot. As for its solution, one thing is clear, dealing with it as Paul Volcker famously did in the late 1970s is not a politically affordable option for governments beholden to elites whose outrageous fortunes depend on low interest rates. This panel will seek to examine this phenomenon by asking question such as why is inflation rising? Can we expect it persist? What are the major policy-options being discussed and what are their political implications of each? How should socialists think about this new problem? Fuente: |
