The Case of Greece

Five Years of Crisis and Crisis Competition Europe Rescues its Money—The German Leading Power Rescues its Imperialist European Project

Introduction

2010

Remarks on the National Bankruptcy of Greece

  1. The bankruptcy of Greece is, as far as the country itself is concerned, the price it is paying for joining the European Union, including the Monetary Union, and for meeting the resulting demands on its national economy.
  1. The bankruptcy of Greece is, in terms of the current reason for it and its imperialistic importance, the first price the eurozone states have to pay the financial sector for the expense of rescuing it, and a first “oath of disclosure” regarding the unresolvable contradiction of the Monetary Union and its money.
  1. In order to ensure the continued existence and functioning of the euro system, the leading powers of the Union deny with might and main the politico-economic substance of the Greek financial crisis. It is necessary to convince “the markets” that Greece’s bankruptcy is an isolated lapse and can be cleared up by better budget policy. The Greeks are assigned the impossible task of making their state creditworthy again through pauperization.

China’s progress on the path to financial power and world power

[Abridged, revised, and translated from Gegenstandpunkt: Politische Vierteljahreszeitschrift 4-15, Gegenstandpunkt Verlag, Munich]

In the spring of last year, the professional observers of world affairs reported bad news from the Far East: “China’s new development bank divides the West” (Die Zeit, Hamburg, March 17, 2015); “US isolates itself: China stirs up the world order” (Die Presse, Vienna, March 30, 2015); “The latest in de-dollarization: US forfeits credit” (telebörse.de, March 25, 2015); “The past month will be remembered as that moment when the United States lost its role as guarantor of the global economic system” (Die Zeit, April 15, 2015). The dollar’s dominance at an end, American power losing its allure as guarantor for the global economy, the unity of the West destroyed by China — all because of the founding of a bank. How come?
