Sorry but this doesn't explain anything.....the crater was caused by yet another FORCED LOAN by the IMF to Greece, forget the Euro, the currency has absolutely no importance here, as long as the IMF keeps forcing ALL countries in the world to take on loans, everyone will be bankrupt eventually, one quick solution.....STOP GLOBALIZATION, everyone back in their on country, go back to a REAL economic system and let's all join our voices to admit CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK!
Watch money as debt, all is simply. If money creation is only in the way of debt that is not real enrichment for the society because always goes back to the bankers. Only if governments had the authority to create money to pay their workers with limits ofc depending on % of population that creation of money is real wealth for the society , no need to be backed by gold.And here is the problem of all , to find a goverment who doesn't abuse of this and respect the amount of money created.
-greece mainly earns through tourism which depends so much on other country's economy
-greece gives 81% of annual salary as pension VERY HIGH as compared to other country
-greece govt collect taxes mainly on slips (bills we get on purchases) so many businessman stopped giving bills on purchase because by doing so they can evade tax,as consumer has to pay less they redely agreed this leed to tax evasion
4)greek govt showed a debt of $24 billion which was $48 billion dollar in real.
what caused the crater you all ask. Well several things. Too much spending compeared to income. The state spended way more money then they got through taxes. The second one was tax cheating. Many corporations cheated themselfes away from paying taxes, which contributed to the first problem. And to all the people saying ""government is behind it"", go fuck yourself. If anything, the whole EU crisis has shown that a privitisation of industry and fewer regulations is a horrible tactic.
Thanks a lot :) .. the main problem is gov don't think about what will happened if they can't increase their incomes from diffrent resources , like tourism , agricultural , selling power , oil ,, coil and etc... . most of what they want to build those huge concrete jungles with no people in it and they stood with debt .. people are suffreing coz of that and banks are the reason behind it . why giving people money when u don't have any !!!! GOD help us all
The crater was created when Goldman Sachs fraudulently hid Greece's debt in order to gain entry to the Eurozone. Then the Greek government borrowed a lot of money and gave it to the banks and now the banks keep loaning them more money than the Greek's can mathematically pay back while forcing the Greeks to impose austerity measures on their economy which is causing a Depression. This forces the other countries in the EU to tax their citizens to pay for the bailouts. It's a ponzi scheme.
I actually came across a substantial solution to the whole crisis, I recommend to read it, it's called ''Citizen's draft of how to solve the Eurocrisis'' and the page is called ''EuroCrisisSolution''
@N330AA triple A just means you have better relationship with US so their rating agencies don't point fingers at you. With all respect, picture I have of UK from occasional business trips is that dinner is served by poles, rooms are cleaned by poles that didn't learn english yet, taxis are driven by blokes from Pakistan. Then I go to office speak to someone from India and finally meet overpaid manager who's actually english but doesn't know what's going on. I'm not german just for the record.
The European Central Bank is a private bank. xD All central banks are privately owned. xD Except for Libyas Bank, which is owned by the people....oh wait sorry....now they have a privately owned central bank too...
@ironmonkidragonsclaw the ECB isn't privatly owned. its an organ of the EU. most european central banks aren't privat. the only privat CB i know is the FED in the united states
@ironmonkidragonsclaw the bank of england is not privatly owned. and neither are the other eu CB. so you point is invalid and basicly spin and propaganda.
@swunt10 Did you read the Bank of England act from 1946? Because that is the first time I have ever heard an Act of Parliament called 'spin'. I ask you again, to produce a Shareholder list of the Bank of England to prove to me that you are right.
@ironmonkidragonsclaw there is no shareholder list because its not owned privatly. now leave me alone idiot and annoy someone else about how bad everyone is.
@swunt10 you started it. And judging by your last comment I win. You don't have to reply to my comments. And really, resorting to name calling. haha. Have your read the 1946 Bank of England Act? No, I don't believe you have. Because if you had you would realise there are shareholders. Now go crawl back under that rock called ignorance....
@ironmonkidragonsclaw you are one of those eu critics right? one of you favorit video is "eu new sovient union"? im not sure how to say it but you are not a realistic thinker or as kant would say it ,not a person with endowed reason,. with other words you are an, by propaganda brainwashed ideot who just likes to hate because it makes you feel better about your poor live. im sure you haven't read the 1946 something neither. its stupid to use preudo scientific talking and superficial knowledge.
@swunt10 yes I have read it, many times. You obviously have not. Your ignorant, and un-evolved. Really a social-democrat? Are you still languishing under the pretence that the initiation of violence will solve complex social problems. Do the planet a favour and grow up.
@ironmonkidragonsclaw don't talk bullshit idiot. thats your act from 1949 .bankofengland . co . uk / about / legislation / 1946 act . pdf
now, which part does make you belive those haters prapaganda?
they just want to get people on their side like every other sect so they don't have to look at themselfs and start asking themselfs serious questions about the world. a simple world view makes thinks easier for the simple minded.
@ironmonkidragonsclaw and im stillright. the BAE is not privatly owned. its pathetic to discuss about something that is so clear. but please cherih you little idee of bad people ruling the world. mhhh reminds me about what the nazis have sayd. something about "all the jews are ruling the world and its them not us who are responsible for our missery". well simple minded people do like simple minded propaganda.
@swunt10-Actually there are an elite of people who run the "democratic" West. At the pinnacle of this elite circle are the top people in the financial sector. Since Thatcher deregulated the sector it has gained incredible political power through lobbying and party donations. Now they have both Labour/Tories in their pockets, as can be seen by both governments failure to implement regulation, even though rehypothetication (regulated in US), significantly contributed to the 2008 financial crisis.
@dannygozoom i am a social democrat and i wouldn't call anyone a socialist to show my dissrespect. woulb be a shoot i my own leg. and i don't think that the top of the finacial mafia has any power at all. maybe they are criminals but how far their power reaches could be seen in the finacial crisis. they went faster bankrupt than anyone could imagine. thats not exacly world domination power is it?
@swunt10 All you do is insult, I have asked you a reasonable question, and instead of replying you insult. In my book, when someone resorts to insults it means they have lost the argument. Do your self a favour and go and READ the Bank of England Act 1946 before reposting here. No amount of insulting can change to truth....
@ironmonkidragonsclaw@swunt10 What's more important then who owns the central banks is the question who controls the central banks and defines their policies. Most important is the question why the privilege on creating money was given to private banks.
@whahas really my friend. you haven't undestood a single thing. "why the privilege on creating money was given to privat banks". really, thats you question? i haven heard so much nonsense in a while. everything in this question is wrong and shows helplessness. there are books about economics everywhere. maybe you should read them instead of asking odd questions. btw the central banks in europe are owned by the nations (all people) and they are controlled by parlament and 3rd just. persons and m
Well the obvius solution is bankruptsy , then the sting will hit the greeks wich is responcibly for this mess AND lots of euro banks wich are the greeks enablers to dig so big a hole. Banks go bust ,lots of people lose their deposits. But are insured by their respective nations for some or all of the deposit. This is the scenario that cost the least money. But it will not be done because of the power the big bankers have on politician. So all of EU will go bust instead.
@AvmanM fiscal irresponsibility from the Greek government. they were spending considerably more on public services than they were raising through taxation.
@AvmanM 1) Because nations don't own their own central banks anymore and have to loan with interest. Also the banking and media Elite control the media and can easily make the people vote for whoever they want. Using this power they select to make popular politicians who can be bribed to bankrupt their nations and to take insane loans in the name of the people and to buy worthless failed mortgages from the banks at ridiculous over prices...
@AvmanM 2) ... in the name of the people transferring all the debt into national debt. This is a simplification leaving out a lot, but in short to answer your question: The corrupt media&banking Elite, corrupt politicians and dumb voters who believe the Elitist controlled media.
@AvmanM "What caused the crater in the first place?"
The crater is the governments debt. Under the European union countries agree to keep their debt below a certain % or their GDP (the total value of the goods produced by the country). However the Greek government took out massive secret loans. The companies that loaned them the money intentionally hid these transactions from the EU though complex accounting techniques in order to make a buck.
@AvmanM trying to stimulate growth by a huge public sector, but it was corrupt and u needed an insane amount of licenses to even open a small business, like a world record or smtn
Nice video. The logic however is wrong in so many ways. Just ask yourselves (a) why US wants Greece to be saved if this is a euro problem? (b) do you actually believe that a country would give money to another country without having a profit or fearing of having problems? Also, in contrast with what the video says, the ECB only lends to banks and not to countries (or else there would be no need for the packages).
@samanatorrules but still need to be careful, contagion is still a very dangerous possibility and not even the strong are safe. You see germany trying to give bailouts to countries like portugal, italy, ireland, greece and spain. Don't forget, countries like the UK are in a deep state of crisis in banking and france ain't that strong either.
I'm sorry if I've misunderstood this whole thing...but I have a question...
Let's assume Greece defaults and goes bankrupt...what if they were to just get out of the Euro and create their own currency to be used within its borders? Sure it would take a few years to recover, but wouldn't that be better than a huge economic collapse in the future?
crap video. not a word on who is being saved here? banks who took big risks and loaned too much money to clients who cant return it. Now they are socializing their loses.
in one word we were dooped by dirty corrupt socialistic politicians, dont be fooled by this friendly german shit its exaclt what it sounds like, bullshit
if we had a decent gov who supported our economy an industry we would have such an economy that we wouldnt be warmed by this and further more we would hae our old currency that even with higher interest the money would have been used for good reasons and the fact european labour was cheaper it would attract capital from outside
the only part where people from any of these countrys are guilty is for not seeing the scam and voting for their dirty corrupt politicians who helped the germans and others for a fee, dont ever forget this these people on top fuck anybody any country everytime they can...
why would germany want to tie itself in ame currency with countrys like greece or portugal or ireland who dont have economys like g, its simple this is a scam its made for germany7 to put them in debt get their companys and gold their companys can buy cheap assets while having strong currency and after these countrys have had their industrys destroyed and their industrys proihibited exemple: portuguese auto industry was destroyed in the 80s because it would interfere with profits for germany
Is it not better to invest money into some country rather than give her government loan which it will probably misuse and leave to the general public to pay for. As countries cannot pay the debt they're forced to get another one to cover paying of the first one and so on and on. Debt is like never-ending hole. It's better to invest money to open work places and enhance economy rather than lend money with interest (which is more profitable since it's usually a downward spiral of debt).
Very nice video, but it describes the short-term solutions and not the underlying reasons for the crisis or the long-term solutions. Also, a little more detail on the impact for the Euro-zone of a Greek default would be good. How about a video specifically about what would happen if the PIIGS default?
I like the concept of animation from drawings, it works well.
172 likes, 2 dislikes, displays the astounding ignorance most people have about money and banking. Sorry, this is NOT a good video on the Euro-Crisis. It's all true, but the problem is, it is not ALL of the truth. The problem continues day by day, week by week, year by year, decade by decade, etc, because it is not common knowledge that the modern money/banking system is mathematically incapable performing without repeatedly bankrupting participants.
Once upon a time the E.U. was created. Greece defaulted, Portugal defaulted, Ireland defaulted, Italy defaulted, Spain defaulted, and eventually Germany defaulted. Poverty and a second dark ages followed. The End.
Worse, if you deposit your discretionary income the bank MUST lend new money in amount of 90% of what you deposited so it can pay you interest and someone MUST borrow new money from the bank, at compounding interest, because they can't earn the money from you (through work).
Get it?
But perpetual compounding of debt, like perpetual growth, cannot go on forever.
A reform of the monetary system must (and inevitably will) eventually take place.
And why when you save money with a bank someone else must, by the law of causality, go deeper into debt. Deeper even than the amount you deposited.
Why?
Simple, the money you earn after your bank payments that you don't spend on consumption immediately is not freed for another debtor to earn (through work) to service their own compounding debt.
But this only postpones the inevitable. There is no way to pay back all the loans + interest owed with just the money in the economy. And interest only grows and piles up.
So inevitably and periodically, new infusion of debt money (more or less directly from the central banks) are required to stave off the inevitable implosion of the monetary (debt) system.
That is why inflation is "a target". Something to aim or shoot for.
All money comes into circulation as interest bearing loans. A small proportion of it is "lent" out by the central bank but almost all of it is lent out by commercial banks, with compounding interest. Commercial banks don't lend the depositors' money but a promise to pay up to 90% of it that the rest of society is bound by law to accept as if it were money and this "promise to pay" is directly changeable to physical currency or bank deposit.
joined by others... you pointed out italy and britain... which are big economies that will not fall... :) since their economies are much bigger then those from greece.. and besides greece is the only county which economy is falling steady down hill... for others it's not falling in the red numbers... :) well we as human beings are at fault it's called: the corupted mind of the human being... ;) (every1 want's more money even you... )
"Help Package"?? It's a LOAN at 5% rate of several hundred million euros, not "help". Can I "help" you by loaning 100 euros to you at 7% rate (like the banks do...with ECB money)? It only DOUBLES at every 10 years. PLEASE let me "help" you.
The global system is stupid. We shouldn't be ruled by a system that can only lead to create crisis that can then be used by the corporation to privatize services and make more money. We must renovate the system now.
Lazy corrupted greeks. Nothing else to say. We have a saying in my country: In debt like greece. This saying is acctual for 50 years now. That tells everything about that country which should be kicked out of EU and forgoten until they come to their sensens.
A country by definition cannot declare "bankruptcy", it is said to default on its debt or to restructure its debt

I'm sorry if I've misunderstood this whole thing...but I have a question...
Let's assume Greece defaults and goes bankrupt...what if they were to just get out of the Euro and create their own currency to be used within its borders? Sure it would take a few years to recover, but wouldn't that be better than a huge economic collapse in the future?

if we had a decent gov who supported our economy an industry we would have such an economy that we wouldnt be warmed by this and further more we would hae our old currency that even with higher interest the money would have been used for good reasons and the fact european labour was cheaper it would attract capital from outside

why would germany want to tie itself in ame currency with countrys like greece or portugal or ireland who dont have economys like g, its simple this is a scam its made for germany7 to put them in debt get their companys and gold their companys can buy cheap assets while having strong currency and after these countrys have had their industrys destroyed and their industrys proihibited exemple: portuguese auto industry was destroyed in the 80s because it would interfere with profits for germany

Is it not better to invest money into some country rather than give her government loan which it will probably misuse and leave to the general public to pay for. As countries cannot pay the debt they're forced to get another one to cover paying of the first one and so on and on. Debt is like never-ending hole. It's better to invest money to open work places and enhance economy rather than lend money with interest (which is more profitable since it's usually a downward spiral of debt).

Very nice video, but it describes the short-term solutions and not the underlying reasons for the crisis or the long-term solutions. Also, a little more detail on the impact for the Euro-zone of a Greek default would be good. How about a video specifically about what would happen if the PIIGS default?
I like the concept of animation from drawings, it works well.

172 likes, 2 dislikes, displays the astounding ignorance most people have about money and banking. Sorry, this is NOT a good video on the Euro-Crisis. It's all true, but the problem is, it is not ALL of the truth. The problem continues day by day, week by week, year by year, decade by decade, etc, because it is not common knowledge that the modern money/banking system is mathematically incapable performing without repeatedly bankrupting participants.

Once upon a time the E.U. was created. Greece defaulted, Portugal defaulted, Ireland defaulted, Italy defaulted, Spain defaulted, and eventually Germany defaulted. Poverty and a second dark ages followed. The End.

Worse, if you deposit your discretionary income the bank MUST lend new money in amount of 90% of what you deposited so it can pay you interest and someone MUST borrow new money from the bank, at compounding interest, because they can't earn the money from you (through work).
Get it?
But perpetual compounding of debt, like perpetual growth, cannot go on forever.
A reform of the monetary system must (and inevitably will) eventually take place.
maersklandro 3 months ago
And why when you save money with a bank someone else must, by the law of causality, go deeper into debt. Deeper even than the amount you deposited.
Why?
Simple, the money you earn after your bank payments that you don't spend on consumption immediately is not freed for another debtor to earn (through work) to service their own compounding debt.
maersklandro 3 months ago
But this only postpones the inevitable. There is no way to pay back all the loans + interest owed with just the money in the economy. And interest only grows and piles up.
So inevitably and periodically, new infusion of debt money (more or less directly from the central banks) are required to stave off the inevitable implosion of the monetary (debt) system.
That is why inflation is "a target". Something to aim or shoot for.
maersklandro 3 months ago
It's only because
- loans are not repaid in full + interest at maturity but in successive instalments
- all loans are not taken out at the same time and due by the same date and
- banks too have expenditures and dividends to pay out which return some of the interest to the debtors
that the monetary system doesn't implode inside of one year.
maersklandro 3 months ago
No, you idiot.
All money comes into circulation as interest bearing loans. A small proportion of it is "lent" out by the central bank but almost all of it is lent out by commercial banks, with compounding interest. Commercial banks don't lend the depositors' money but a promise to pay up to 90% of it that the rest of society is bound by law to accept as if it were money and this "promise to pay" is directly changeable to physical currency or bank deposit.

The global system is stupid. We shouldn't be ruled by a system that can only lead to create crisis that can then be used by the corporation to privatize services and make more money. We must renovate the system now.
And if we can't, we'll blow it up.
