That is my point. Politicians (in theory) answer to the people and are doing the right things for their country. Money markets have little interest in anything other making money. There is a lot more at stake here than making a bit of money!
Germany- a strong economy. Really? Only while there are people in other countries that can afford to buy their goods. The Italians, Greeks and so on won't be buying much from them pretty soon. Then the French.............
No. Most politicians these days do what is good for themselves and their coterie. The markets are not faceless monsters. They are the aggregate of manifold financial institutions, many of which are looking after your pensions and savings. There is no one person, or one company looking after them. They react according to where they think they should place your money and expect a return.
There are many faults within modern banking systems but, at the end of the day, they MUST make a profit. After all, who in their right minds would give you an interest-free loan to buy your house/car etc. and meanwhile pay for all their staff, branches and cash machines. We must have banks. We can't hide cash under the pillow. There is an argument for a firewall between retail and capital banking, but that's another story.
