Ovo je stvarno revolucionarna ideja.
Pa ne može se u Hrvatskoj pošteno zarađivati i imati višak.
Država je poduzela sve u svojoj moći da se tako nešto ne može dogoditi.
Ali mora se priznati da je država svakome ostavila mogućnost izbora.
ili pošteno zarađujte ili ostvarujte višak.

Bad news: we’re back to 1931. Good news: it’s not 1933 yet
Barack Obama inherits an economy already contracting at an annual rate of 6pc, much like the mid-Depression year of 1931 (-6.4pc), writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

This may beat Germany (-7pc) Japan (-12pc) and Korea (-22pc) over the fourth quarter. But that merely underlines the dangers ahead as the collapse of global trade chokes the mini-boom in US exports, setting off another stage of the crisis.

The US is losing 500,000 jobs a month. Brazil lost 650,000 in December. Beijing says 10m Chinese have lost their jobs since the crunch began. Japan’s exports fell 35pc last month, year-on-year. The central bank is printing money furiously, buying bonds to prevent a relapse into deflation.

So yes, it is like early 1931. Citigroup and Bank of America have more or less disintegrated. JP Morgan’s health is failing fast. General Motors and Chrysler survive only on life-support from the US taxpayer.

But it is not yet like 1933. That second leg down was the result of "liquidation" policies by a Dickensian leadership blind to the dangers of debt deflation. By then the Gold Standard had degenerated into an instrument of torture. It forced the Fed to raise rates from 1.5pc to 3.5pc in October 1931 to stem gold loss, with predictable results for shattered banks.

It is worth glancing at the
front page of New York Times on Monday March 6, 1933 to see what the world looked like three days after Franklin Roosevelt moved into the White House. (http://www.sharelynx.com/chartsfixed/1NYTGold

The newspaper splashed with the story that FDR had closed the US banking system – invoking the Trading with Enemies Act – and ordered the confiscation of private gold. From left to right, the headlines read: "Hitler Bloc Wins A Reich Majority, Rules Prussia"; "Japanese Push On In Fierce Fighting, China Closes Wall, Nanking Admits Defeat"; "City Scrip To Replace Currency"; "President Takes Steps Under Sweeping Law of War Time"; "Prison For Gold Hoarders".

President Obama faces a happier world. The liberal economic order is still in tact, if fraying at the edges. Capital and ships move freely. North America and Europe talk the same political language. China has so far proved a dependable pillar of the international system.

But then the world seemed benign enough in early 1931. It is the second phase of depression that does terrible things.

Corporate cuts spread as 6,000 face axe

British steel maker Corus is set to unveil as many as 3,500 redundancies while GKN, the British car and aircraft parts maker, will reveal that more than 1,400 of its staff have lost their jobs in the wake of the manufacturing slump.

Linklaters, the world’s second biggest law firm, will announced hundreds of cuts while DIY retailer Homebase is to make about 300 staff redundant.

Building materials group Wolseley is also likely today to lay out steps, thought to include further jobs cuts, to reduce costs in the wake of the housing market downturn.

News of the cuts comes after companies including luxury retailer Burberry, food group Vion and computer software company Microsoft last week announced more than 3,000 job losses.

Official figures released last week showed unemployment is climbing sharply with the number of people out of work hitting 1.92m in November, its highest level since September 1997. George Johns, an economist at Barclays, said there was "much worse to come" and commentators are warning in growing numbers that unemployment could hit 3m by the end of this year.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Investors this week will face the largest batch of company report cards yet, in what is quickly shaping up to be the worst quarter for corporate profits in a decade.

The earnings avalanche will test the market’s mettle. Last week, the Dow fought back after falling below the 8,000 point psychological benchmark for four days in a row. Analysts say if the Dow can hang on to this level in the weeks ahead, that’s a good indication that a bottom has been set.

The biggest week for earnings brings reports from 137 S&P 500 companies and 12 Dow components. Standouts include Caterpillar, American Express, McDonald’s, Yahoo, Wells Fargo and Exxon Mobil.

Only 10% of the 85 S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have topped forecasts. Another 60% have met estimates and another 30% have missed, according to Thomson Reuters.

"We’re in the process of absorbing just how bad the fourth quarter was," said Bernard McGinn, CEO of McGinn Investment Management. "We had a feeling things were terrible, now we’re getting proof of it. The question is ‘where do we go now?"

This week also brings the latest Fed policy meeting – although it’s likely to be less influential than usual since the central bankers are expected to keep interest rates unchanged near zero, said Kenny Landgraf, principal and founder at Kenjol Capital Management

Investors will also digest reports on housing, consumer confidence and leading economic indicators early in the week. The end of the week brings the fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) report. It’s expected to have fallen by an annual rate of 5.2%, it biggest plunge in 26 years.

Stanje američkog i drugih najvećih gospodarstva u svijetu pogoršava se brže nego što su vodeći ekonomisti predviđali prije samo tjedan dana, s Velikom Britanijom koja je petak postala posljednja zemlja koja je iznenadila analitičare s dubinom svojih gospodarskih tegoba, izvijestili su tijekom vikenda američki mediji.
