Hona hemen azken hilabeteetako EBri dagozkion zenbait data.
Dirudienez, esportazioak izan dira atzerapenaren kontrako suspertzearen motorra[1].
Izan ere,
a) Gross domestic product rose 0.3 percent from the previous three months … the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today.
b) The euro-area economy returned to growth in the second quarter after a record-long recession, driven by a rebound in exports from the 17-nation currency bloc.
c) Exports rose 1.6 percent in the second quarter from the previous three months, while imports increased 1.4 percent, today’s report showed.
Bai, baina…
W. Mosler-ek gogoratzen digunez[2],
Esportazio netoek jasangarriak izateko dibisak[3] erosi behar dira, eta hori ez dute egingo, zio ideologikoak direla kausa[4].
Orduan, zer?
Batzuk Alemaniaren mirakuluaren[5] zain daude.
Baina, Bill Mitchell-ek behin eta berriz dioenez[6], EBn hazkundea sortzeko, gastu publiko gehiago behar da:
“The point is that more public spending is required immediately to generate growth in Europe.”
Eta dogma ere aipatzen du:
“While the dogma is that a nation that cuts its wages will improve competitiveness is rife, the reality is clearly different.”
Are gehiago, Mitchell-en ustez, ideologia alemaniarraren ergelkeria (sic) alemaniarren aurka itzul daiteke[7]:
“History isn’t kind to our view of Germany and the ideology that infests its ruling elite and is, seemingly shared by the population. Once again they are spearheading a political position that not only pushes significant and damaging intervention in the affairs of other neighbouring nations but also is likely to back-fire and damage itself.”
