They want the banks to be "healthy" and strong so as to be able to keep borrowing money from international funds in order to lend them to the businesses (for the sake of investments they say) and to the citizens (for homes, consumer goods etc). Thus, the businesses and the citizens will always be indebted to the local banks and the local banks to the international banking and other financing institutions.Thus you secure the everlasting dependency of states and nations on those controlling the International economy (and the puppet governments of all countries).
Sure, but most Greek business ventures never began with loans from banks but from families working together.
Businesses that are so big that they need loans and are in it purely for personal profits are not the sort which help their country.
Are you serious?
That is incorrect since businesses which expand with private investor finds to raise capital and from borrowings create many jobs and when this sector is not doing well, it usually means very high unemployment such as what we are seeing in Cyprus today.
Revolution comes from an unhappy demos.
Another side effect of massive unemployment.
