Nationalism and Economics
“Nationalism belongs to a soccer field…” I’ve been saying this for years, and I still believe it, vehemently… other than in a soccer field, or any kind of sports arena, the concept of rooting for national team, or its flag should be limited to the sporting event…
Having lived around (in seven countries on four continents)… gave me a cosmopolitan upbringing, which in turn made me view the world as a whole, as opposed to a multitude of, sometimes bellicose, nations.
Now, having said that… what does all this have to do with Economics…
Looking or listening to the various pundits it appears that we continue sliding into a recession (everyone is afraid to use the “D” word), and all we could come up is giving money to the banks so they can “lend it” to tax paying citizens… who will be further in debt to the banks…
It sounds like what we have is a banking problem… and it appears that it is the bankers who created these problems… while enriching themselves…
Then why do we have to be the ones that suffer… In the meantime let us “Play Ball”
