How Europe Has Evolved From A Democracy To A Bankocracy And Why Austerity Will Lead To Chaos
Submitted by Tyler Durden:In one of the clearest (and most optically pleasing) discussions of recent months, David McWiliams (of Punk Economics) succinctly explains how Europe has evolved from a democracy to a bankocracy, the implications of which lead to austerity for the people and a Franco-German imposition (the 'fiscal compact') that can only lead to social unrest and chaos.

How 'magic' made Greek debt disappear before it joined the euro
Greece is at the heart of the ongoing eurozone crisis, but is past sleight of hand by Greek statisticians to blame for the country's current financial meltdown?

In the 1990s Miranda Xafa was working for an investment house in London, watching from a distance, as her native Greece got ready for membership of the euro.
She knew - and advised her clients - that the country's economy was not ready, that the statistics its government was publishing did not reflect reality.
"I used to come to Athens from London, with clients of Salomon Brothers," she tells me. "We always saw the head of the statistical agency of Greece, who compiled all the statistics on the debt, the deficit and so on. "He was "the magician" who made inflation and the deficit "disappear".
