Pour Un Capitalisme Entre Adultes Consentants<\/p><\/div>\n

What a shame it is that politicians aren\u2019t historians too! And that it is regrettable for all of us that they aren\u2019t looking back to the year 1931 \u2013 a tragedy, among other things \u2013 in order to draw parallels and precious lessons for today. Let\u2019s remember the bankruptcy of the very large Austrian bank, \u00d6sterreichischen Kredit Anstalt, which occurred in an environment of general financial instability and European monetary implosion due to unpaid German reparations. That was, up until the US intervened by restructuring the debts of a Germany that was clinging to the gold standard, albeit one of the main reasons or the Great Depression. It was nevertheless the countries who first abandoned the gold standard (Great Britain followed by the Scandinavian countries) who were the first to pull themselves out of this appalling crisis. The unexpected hike of American interest rates in 1928 of course gave the starting signal for this crisis. Forasmuch, the global deflationary calamity combined with the contraction of every economy took its roots in the gold standard and this was mainly due to the attitude of, wait for it, France, described by a number of specialists as the main reason for the exacerbation of the Great Depression! It was effectively France\u2019s substantial increase of its gold reserves \u2013 from 7 to 27% between 1927 and 1932! \u2013 which, bringing about the rarefication of the metal, was to contribute undeniably to the creation of a gigantic deflationary spiral for all the developed nations of the time. Deflation, having been a distinctive sign of the Great Depression, could have been avoided if the central banks of the time (and first of all the French one) had maintained their auriferous levels of 1928\u2026What a shame it is that politicians aren\u2019t historians too since the conditions of the 1930s look strangely like our current period, except that at the time it was Germany that was in the situation that outer Europe finds itself in today! Wholly dependent on foreign funding, the country had had the stuffing knocked out of it by the unrealistic reparations stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles, and had been suffering hyperinflation since the beginning of the 1920s in an overall climate of grossly undercapitalised national banks. It was therefore a program of brutal and unprecedented austerity that it had to enforce in order to dry up its international financing, hence an unemployment rate that was to pass 35% of its population at one point. France \u2013 which at the time was the Germany of today \u2013 was doing well: it boasted one of the time\u2019s most prosperous and solid world economies and navigated choppy waters while keeping the unemployment rate to one figure and displaying enviable accounting surpluses. In a position to become the financial engine for the rest of Europe in the period between the end of the 1920s and the very beginning of the \u201830s, France nevertheless preferred to wall itself off to be selfish and withdrawn, refusing to adopt an expansionist and conciliatory economic and monetary policy, opting rather to ignore its neighbours\u2019 woes. Europe\u2019s financial collapse owes a lot to this French egotism of that time. Just like many European nations can, with good reason, now blame German intransigence for the intolerable extremity that they have come to.<\/p>\n
