In a Europe built after the war to avoid further devastating conflicts, financial markets would they have started the “Third World War” ?
We are witnessing the opposition of two worlds totally and completely opposed to the other.
This third world war has begun (Greek crisis, outraged Spanish, etc..) Latent, silent ignoring the collateral damage which occurs, ruining the U.S. economy and thereby depleting the poor, throwing Greece and unity of Europe on the ground, which will follow, Italy, France. The European Union will she shock?
Blame it on globalization say some, because of the financial markets will tell others, but is closely related, everything has been designed, prepared and orchestrate it thinks some politicians and trade unionists.
What really, how could we not see it coming despite warnings from leading economists ?
The forces.
On the one hand, banks, insurers and pension funds too famous … on the other, you me, all taxpayers.
The battlefield? Just the financial markets and rating agencies as a scarecrow waving notes on indebted countries, but they are precisely those countries?
In the first position, Japan with 225.80% of its GDP.
Fifth, Greece with 144%.
Eighth, Italy with 118.10%.
10th, Belgium with 98.60%.
11th, with 94.20% Ireland.
13th, the United States with 88.90%.
France is 16th, a position with a public debt of 82.3%, or a € 591.2 billion, debt has doubled since 1978 (we had a debt of 72.8 billion €, ie, 21.2% of GDP), ahead of Portugal 17th, 21st and Germany, now all these countries borrow, not to make investments (which would boost their economies, but to pay the interest on their debts).
Solution “Miracle”?
Europe has given birth not without difficulty, a bailout of troubled countries, the European Financial Stability (EFSF), driven by banks, which has greatly helped during the crisis of 2008. But also by the ECB (European Central Bank).
The plan of the European Union, aims to redeem the FEFS, the debts of previously held by banks (a guarantee for maintaining stability of the said banks), all without any compensation or any regulation, this tool solidarity that is the EFSF could quickly turn against us, in fact, use the money to cover the public risks taken by the private sector, moreover, without short-term counterparty may see FEST turn in a bank that would focus all assets risky or devalued by all European banks.
The consequences for everyone.
The first consequence, we see it clear in Germany, where the race to a competitive disinflation is to fall in 10 years, workers’ income of 2.5% loan with a loss of 20% for the lowest wages, while during the same time revenues grew the highest. The German model, shown as an example for its extremely low unemployment rate and export performance, is today in its true light, no minimum wage, a heavy reliance on labor progress, and especially creative small jobs precarious, short-term and especially! Less tax for wages between 400 and € 800 for me.
What will happen tomorrow?
Restore the weight of the deficit countries to 3% of GDP as all EU countries have committed themselves, but what are the ways to do that?
In 1972 James Tonbin, economist and Nobel laureate in economics, suggests (even then), to create a tax on financial transactions to limit speculation. This tax is on the table of finance ministers of the EU, it could fetch up to € 55 billion per year, a drop of water when one sees that aid and guarantees in the European financial sector is 4 € 600 billion.
The taxation of financial products (stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc..), Has a rate of 0.1% on securities and 0.01% on products, the European version of TTF should reach 85% of financial transactions, it would affect banks , scholarships and financial service providers, not companies or individuals.
2014 and implementation of the FTT.
The establishment of this first measure of taxation finance “wild”, is not unanimously in Europe and worldwide. Indeed, the United Kingdom, the United States and of course tax havens are strongly opposed. It is true that if such a tax is not implemented at the global level, the risk of sliding financial markets to countries that do not apply.
A parade of all this is that first of all taxation is very low, but which would also apply to transactions made by European companies regardless of the stock exchange or the transaction takes place, (Asia, America , etc.)..
Bailout or stimulus plan?
The revenue from this tax will it be used to stimulate the economy or the debt is an issue on which our policies are widely divided, but one issue on which it will still seriously consider, for without recovery not growth without debt reduction no future either.
2012 will truly be a revolution for us

All those who once were able to go to Corsica or Sardinia will tell you that these two islands is imperative to discover the sea for what they really offer more beautiful, better, more pleasing to their visitors.
Sardinia by the sea: the North! The north!
To the north of Sardinia that are the most beautiful beaches and coves.

Then you can head to the port of Ile Rousse (Corsica too) to have privileged access to both Calvi (Corsica the St Tropez) to the beautiful micro-region of the Balagne. Most of the artisans are concentrated in Corsica Balagne … it is to say.
The south of Corsica also offers two main ports. First of all the imperial city Ajaccio … … … bloody islands the bay and its Genoese towers sublime … Ajaccio is the main port for exploring the south of Corsica and radiate into the interior (Vizzavona) or in the surrounding towns (eg Porto).
