The habit of many politicians and the media to blame crisis developments in the economy on criminal behavior in the financial markets. – It is by no means decades of mismanagement in all sectors of the economy, including astronomical government debt, that are the reasons why investors withdraw from a country or a currency. Rather, it is rip-off artists, speculators, hedge funds, short sellers, financial vultures and other evildoers who operate on the market and have brought about a crisis. The thesis of market failure thus put into circulation expresses not least the intention to avoid necessary austerity programs. The fact, however, that what is shown before everyone’s eyes in the form of price movements is the result of decisions made by countless investors, insurance companies and private households is completely concealed. Instead of necessary measures to regain competitiveness, there are calls for tighter regulation of the financial market, with the result that many domestic economic entities prefer to invest assets abroad because they fear restrictions in their home country. For example, Greece, Italy and Spain saw outflows of around EUR 40 bn from private accounts alone between 2010 and 2012. – See Lug-and-Deception Thesis, Market Manipulation, Regulatory Frenzy, Debt Drug, Conspiracy Theories, Pre-Effect.
