Quote of the day: John Monks on the ECOFIN yesterday
2009/10/21
"With a financial transactions tax, Europe can finance the major part of the 130 billion European investment plan the ETUC is asking for’
‘The crisis and mass unemployment will not go away by themselves. If ECOFIN ministers limit themselves to fiscal exit strategies while hoping recovery will be automatic, they are putting the cart before the horse. With a financial transactions tax, Europe can finance the major part of the 130 billion European investment plan the ETUC is asking for’
