Joseph Stiglitz:
Europa si austeritatea au falimentat Grecia – 7 februarie 2015
Octavian Lupu
Ceea ce mi-a atras atentia in acest articol este o idee simpla dar unilateral interpretata: responsabilitatea pentru contractele de credit incheiate. Apologetii sistemului (inclusiv Muguras Isarescu) ii indica raspunzatori pe lumpeni proletarii care vor sa achizioneze frigidere cu buletinul, mama lor de nenorociti, nerealizand faptul ca fragilizeaza sistemul financiar. Ca si cum contractul de credit nu ar fi un contract unilateral, creat si impus de o singura parte care se presupune ca e partea profesionista si care stie cel mai bine care sunt riscurile implicate pentru ambele parti si care nu are dreptul, dupa ce criza a inceput, sa se prezinte ca o virgina violata la coltul strazii. "After all, such debts are contracts – that is, voluntary agreements – so creditors are just as responsible for them as debtors. In fact, creditors arguably are more responsible: typically, they are sophisticated financial institutions, whereas borrowers frequently are far less attuned to market vicissitudes and the risks associated with different contractual arrangements. Indeed, we know that US banks actually preyed on their borrowers, taking advantage of their lack of financial sophistication.''
