Soros Warns Euro Crisis May Divide Continent

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Billionaire financier George Soros warned Wednesday that Europe could potentially fall apart because of the “two-speed Europe” of haves and have-nots that is being perpetuated by the reform of the embattled euro.Soros Warns Euro Crisis May Divide Continent

He told a news briefing on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum that the currency used by 17 EU nations is in the process of reform following concerns over the debt crisis that enveloped Greece and Ireland and is threatening others.

Its flaw, he said, of having a common central bank but no common treasury was being addressed with the creation of a permanent European Financial Stability Facility, which was created to bail out debt-ridden countries.

But Soros said the reforms are not addressing the euro’s real problem — that the currency has divided the richer EU countries from the poorer ones.

“The euro was supposed to bring about convergence, and effectively it created divergence and that is now being perpetuated,” he said. “So you are going forward with this new structure. You’re going to have a two-speed Europe, and that is going to be politically very disruptive.”

“That is the unsolved problem that I think needs to be recognized and some solution found because otherwise I think the euro is clearly here to stay. There’s a clear commitment to the euro. But it could put into motion this very divisive political force of two Europes,” Soros warned.

“Europe potentially could fall apart because of this two-speed Europe so it needs a solution,” he said.

Soros said countries in surplus ought to be investing and expanding more in poorer European countries, but he said Germany, Europe’s largest economy, can’t do it because of very strict constitutional limits.

He called for a Europe-wide stimulus that can spur growth in countries that are lagging economically.

He noted that “there’s a big push now on continental Europe for a financial transaction tax” which could possibly be used to help these countries as well as for other activities like fighting climate change.

Britain, which is neck-and-neck with France for the second-largest economy in the 27-member EU but not part of the euro zone, has embarked on a major austerity program to cut government spending aimed at putting it on sounder economic footing.

“I think they may be right in embarking on it,” Soros said when asked about the measures introduced by the coalition government led by Prime Minister David Cameron.

“But I think they will probably have the sense that they’ll have to modify it when the effects are felt,” he said, “because I don’t think they can possibly be implemented without pushing the economy into a recession.”

Soros said the initial reaction has been “very positive” and the world will be watching to see what happens, “but my expectation is that it will prove to be unsustainable.”

As for the broader global economy following the 2008 economic crisis, Soros said, “I think there was a serious danger of a deflationary trap of debt with deflation reinforcing each other, the burden of debt and prices falling.”

“This has been successfully fought off, and the balance is now tipping the other way,” he said.

    The facts on economic progress since Davos launched in 1971 are undisputed: In the new American Interest Journal, Francis Fukuyama, author of “The End of History” and one of the leading minds behind President Reagan’s foreign policy wrote: “It is well established that income inequality has increased substantially in the United States over the past three decades, and that gains from the prolonged period of economic growth that ended in 2007–08 have gone disproportionately to the upper end of the richest layer of society.”

    Yes, Super Rich billionaires grabbed the bulk of economic prosperity since Davos was launched. Fukuyama says “a study by Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez shows that between 1978 and 2007, the share of U.S. income accruing to the top one percent of American families jumped from 9% to 23.5 % of the total. These data point clearly to the stagnation of working-class incomes in the United States: Real incomes for male workers peaked sometime back in the 1970s and have not recovered since.”

    The last time the inequality gap was this huge was just before the 1929 Crash and the Great Depression.

      Denationalisation of Money -The Argument Refined – F. A. HAYEK

      IV. THE PERSISTENT ABUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT PREROGATIVE

      When one studies the history of money one cannot help wondering why people should have put up for so long with governments exercising an exclusive power over 2,000 years that was regularly used to exploit and defraud them. This can be explained only by the myth (that the government prerogative was necessary) becoming so firmly established that it did not occur even to the professional students of these matters (for a long time including the present writer!) ever to question it. But once the validity of the established doctrine is doubted its foundation is rapidly seen to be fragile.

      refering to the roaring 20 which had some of the lowest unemployment and had bunch of technological booms. Your telling us that there was massive wealth inequality. Thats wierd more people were buying the latest newest thing than probably any other time in history.
      unskilled labor could make 20-22$ a week 1040-1144$ a year
      A really nice house for that time 1924 Green Bay Wisconsin
      Seven-Room Home for Sale (All Modern, with Garage, Lot 53×264, Fruit Crop Land)
      $5200 cost 5 times yearly salary (this house is an actual add from that time.)

      modern day example would be a 40k $ job buying a 200k$ house wich would not be even close to that house. Using the roaring 20 probablly a bad example for wealth inequality.
      http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/Smiley.1920s.final for that time from the encyclopedia. so yah small government free market works. Because last time i checked not many people that are unskilled laborar could afford a house lke that today.

      Yes, in the 1920s “more people were buying the latest newest thing than probably any other time in history.”

      Cars and radios, refrigerators and record players, washing machines and gym sets,Florida real estate and common stocks, and lots else.

      But guess what? A lot of the ’20s lifestyle was bought on credit, and when the bills came due and credit contracted, the market for all these things simply collapsed.

      Had income been more equally distributed, the prosperity would have been more soundly based, and probably would have lasted longer.

    And there’s more

    Medvedev speaks! The Russian president delivered a sweeping keynote on the opening day of the World Economic Forum.

    Beginning with a moment of silence for the Moscow bombing that killed 35 on Monday, Medvedev assured the crowd that Russia remained defiant in the face of terrorism.

    “They expected their act would bring Russia to its knees. They expected their act would put us on the defensive. They expected and hoped the president of Russia would not come here, among other things of course,” he said.

    He also called on the International Monetary Fund to include the BRIC countries–Brazil, Russia, India and China–in their basket of main currencies.

    But perhaps most surprising was Medvedev’s defense of WikiLeaks–especially surprising considering the portrait of corruption the leaked diplomatic cables paint of the country.

    “Despite the fact that in itself those were probably illegal activities in the view of some states, the effect of this affair appears to me very, very positive for international relations,” he said, adding that, “Russia will not support initiatives that put in doubt freedom in the Internet, freedom which is based on the requirements of morality and law.”

    There is much left out of this story

    The world’s most powerful figures in business and policy have turned their attention toward the less powerful.

    Min Zhu, special advisor for the International Monetary Fund, pointed to economic inequality as a crucial problem, criticizing the system that fosters it. From the Telegraph:

    “The increase in inequality is the most serious challenge for the world,” he said. “If you ask anyone in emerging markets what they aspire to, they would say the U.S. model — big car, big house, pension plan. But it doesn’t work.”

    Inequality is becoming a theme at Davos. Earlier, Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of media giant WPP, said, “the concentration of wealth is a serious issue.”

    “Wealthy people invest in financial assets, creating asset bubbles,” he continued, presumably not singling out anyone in particular. — William Alde

      And it is those German Constitutional limits that are keeping his greedy little paws from getting his hands in their till.

      Look, we Americans were the first ones to tell Europe that the idea of a Euro was a bad idea. But all the brainiacs that support Socialist ideas told us we were stupid so don’t listen to those Americans. Why the hell do you think the British said “NO THANK YOU” to the Euro?

      And that’s the danger, kids, of not worrying about your own economy. Countries are countries so that they DON‘T have to deal with other people’s problems. If you wanted the freedom and prosperity that our Founders set up for us (but that we have gone away from), then you can either abide by our Constitution by loving freedom of speech and individual liberty, or you could make your own country more like America – we could trade and poke fun at each other, and try to outdo each other economically, and we’d still each be responsible for our own economies; More power to you – go be free and prosperous, and we’ll congratulate you from over here.

      BRAVO, Mr Soros you are gleaming with joy to see the EU crumble before the eyes of the world. It has become clear that your ultimate prize is the collateral damage and vulnerability it will cause to the US economy.

      After they finish their riots I just hope there is enough Republic left to rebuild it…

      no don’t call him the AC, George is just old and Evil. The Anti-Christ will be a great charismatic orator, an influence peddler and campaigner. The AC is the professor of all lies and speaks different things to all directions of the wind, depending on what he needs to say or accomplish to damn as many souls in the process as he can. The AC wants everyone to have an universal ID and mandate that the government he runs provides all necessities for your life and no one outside his government can do business without his government ID and approval.

      I hope Europe wakes up and doesn‘t fall into the Dude’s trap again. He is stirring the pot of discontent and gleefully clapping all the while. He is a very evil man, as is his puppet Obama.

      I really dont think this is Soros’ plan, I think this is his plan falling apart. I would watch for the UK to bail on the Euro soon….and I would also invest in anti Euro funds or German exprts in the next couple of years cuzz boyeezzzz…that currency is about to tank!

      when you collapse a currency, you make billions in derivitives and then you own all the money and then ,he who owns all the wealth, owns the power and the whole wide world. How is Georgie going to share his power with Chinas leader? I guess they will have to arm wrestle…. oh wait Geo doesnt have an army behind him, guess who really wins Georgie boy.

      @Port

      The Euro already is that. If the Euro collapses then the reinstatement of another common currency would be unlikely. My friends in Europe (even the more socialistic ones in Germany and the Neatherlands) are already tired of the bailouts which their countries are largely fronting. If the Euro crashes so does the European Union and so do all hopes of reforming it and spreading it intercontinentally.

      I’m cautiously optimistic.

      It’s always about the haves and have-nots with these people. Soros, into which category do you fall? Yes, you’re part of the evil haves, and you are not looking out for the have-nots. You only want to control the have-nots. Oh yes, Soros, you’re not a God, as you see yourself. You’re not even close!

      Soros: “I Fancied Myself As Some Kind Of God.” “A passage in his book The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, distinguishes Soros from all other financiers, ever.

      Didn’t you read the article?

      Soros is proposing a Europe-wide “stimulus package” precisely to AVOID a “divided and collapsing Europe.”

      The elites/bankers are desperately trying to save the euro. They strive for more and more central socialist control over Europe as a block. What they are upset about is they are behind their scedule of a unitified US/Mexico/Canada socialist block. These along with the Asian block and Indian or Soviet block are to join one day under their world governance. Their NWO currency is ready for launch. See the link below. The Bilderberg group is behind schedule – see second link below.

      Soros doesn’t want a divided EU, he wants redistribution throughout the EU countries to create a single monetary authority to run all the seperate economies as one. Call it a supernation if you like – basically a group of states all under control of one single authority, based on socialist ideals. The EU would become what the Fedral Government is to our 50 states – full regulation of business and authority of economic decisions. This is the perfect opportunity to enact international laws in the EU as a whole, creating pressure to other nations outside the EU to adopt international law as standard. The EU is going to be his centerpiece in the push towards his New World Order.

      Soros is having problems getting the U.S. to crumble, so he is trying the back door by stirring up Europe with the hope that it will help destabilize America. But he can relax, his efforts toward hyperinflation (read: Obama) is coming along nicely and he is just worried he won’t live long enough to enjoy the results.
