Abstract

Artykuł zawiera krótki przegląd głównych przyczyn obecnego kryzysu i dotyczy strategii dogmatyzmu rynkowego i ich skutków, które pojawiły się po zakończeniu powojennego boomu i tzw. systemu z Bretton Woods. Rosnące nierówności i deregulacja spowodowały wzrost inwestycji kapitału spekulacyjnego (kapitalizm kasynowy), przyczyniając się do bańki na rynku nieruchomości w USA. Dzięki pomocy z środków publicznych kapitał ten nie poniósł większych strat po jej pęknięciu. Jednak pomoc publiczna naraziły na poważne kłopoty budżety państw, które już były ograniczone w wyniku „podatkowego wyścigu na dno”, spowodowanego specyficznymi neoliberalnymi zaleceniami, mającymi pomóc w przełamaniu kryzysu ekonomicznego. Słabe wyniki ekonomiczne i wysokie oprocentowanie obligacji skarbowych - wynikające z niskich ocen wystawianych przez agencje ratingowe - zagroziły niektórym państwom w strefie euro niewypłacalnością. Sytuację pogorszyły błędy w zarządzaniu. Zaoferowana przez „trójkę” (EBC, MFW i UE) pomoc finansowa wiązała się z „twardymi” reformami w duchu polityki oszczędności. Następstwem tego był kryzys społeczny i humanitarny o kolosalnych skutkach; było to dowodem ekonomicznego fiaska i zwiększyło dług publiczny do nieznośnych rozmiarów, głównie w Grecji, którą można uznać za laboratorium dla takiej strategii.
