Corporations: A Conspiracy of Greed and Corruption

First posted on FB 2/9/14:

In general I really hate conspiracy theories. This is not. This is a matter of a couple of financial corporations with a history of being on the wrong side of history, which are still in power. I will link their report below this banner which accurately reflects the sentiments of the recent JPM report: "The political systems in the periphery [of the Eurozone] were established in the aftermath of dictatorship, and were defined by that experience. Constitutions tend to show a strong socialist influence, reflecting the political strength that left wing parties gained after the defeat of fascism. Political systems around the periphery typically display several of the following features: weak executives; weak central states relative to regions; constitutional protection of labor rights; consensus building systems which foster political clientalism; and the right to protest if unwelcome changes are made to the political status quo. The shortcomings of this political legacy have been revealed by the crisis. Countries around the periphery have only been partially successful in producing fiscal and economic reform agendas, with governments constrained by constitutions (Portugal), powerful regions (Spain), and the rise of populist parties (Italy and Greece)."
