The Collateral Damage of Europe’s Rescue – Project

Hans-Werner
Sinn: Europe’s rescue policy has stabilized
government finances and delivered lower interest rates for the over-indebted
economies. But it has also led to currency appreciation, and thus to lower
competitiveness for all eurozone countries, which may yet turn into a debacle
for the southern eurozone and France – and for the euro itself.
The technical competence of economic
policymakers – voxeu.org
The
appointments of Papademos in Greece and Monti in Italy in 2011 are examples of leadership
changes meant to bring more competent people into government. This column aims
at understanding why governments sometimes appoint economic policymakers with
economics training but often do not. It suggests that levels of economics
education among finance ministers are substantially higher in new democracies
than in old ones and that the appointment of an economics PhD as a central bank
president is 22% more likely during a banking crisis.

80 % verottajalle
– Nordea
Verotuksen kireys korostuu, kun omalla työllä ansaitulla
palkalla yritetään maksaa palkkaa jollekin toiselle. Pitää tehdä kauan töitä,
että voi maksaa toiselle yhden päivän palkan. Työkaverin kannattaa ottaa
palkaton vapaapäivä ja tehdä itse asia, jonka asiantuntija tekisi parissa
tunnissa. Yhteiskunnan voimavaroja ei käytetä tehokkaasti ja verottaja jää
ilman verotuloja.
Myisitkö asuntosi
eläkevakuutuksesta? – TalSa
Jos valtio muuttaisi kertamaksullisen eläkesijoittamisen
verotusta, keskituloisen kuusikymppisen kannattaisi myydä asunto ja sijoittaa
