Another gem, (this one three part, about 30 min total) from Dr. Heiner Flassbeck
and The Real News:
HF: “That's exactly
the attitude, I'm sure, in the financial markets; that's the attitude, après
moi le déluge. They think, I don't care if I made money in the next two
years or the next year; what do I care about the future? That's exactly the
attitude.”
HF: “Yeah, that's one
thing that I acknowledge already. Many of these people do not care about the
long run. But this is mainly true for people in the financial markets, because
they don't have any fixed assets. You know? They have nothing that can be lost,
so to say.”
HF: “That is the
crucial thing, because due to the ideology that prevailed over the last 30
years, some people, even ordinary people on the street, believe that the
government does not have the right to tax away huge profits, because that would
be against the efficiency of the market and things like that. And this kind of
ideology we have to fight.”
