Re: Timo Soini (4.00 / 2)

Constantin Gurdgiev, one of the few economists in Ireland who has consistently advocated default, is also one of the most rightwing economists around. A strange feature of the debate on default is that the ultra right economists and ex-bankers/stockbrokers/financiers have generally been more progressive on the issue than establishment, social democrat, Green, and Labour economists.

Re: Timo Soini (4.00 / 2)

I read Zero Hedge and Karl Denninger (Market ticker), and the same can be read over there.

As I see it is a mix of: 1) Irresponsible lending should be punished (as much as borrowing) 2) The debt burden is so high that it is a mathematical certainty.

It seems that there is a substantial difference between being right-winger because one ruthlessly believes in merit/market (Karl Denninger) against being right-winger because you are in the pocket of the economic powers (or generally like to lick the a$$ of the powerful)
