The truth about the eurozone crisis Merkel and Sarkozy did not save the peripheral countries, they saved their banking structures The political price was heavy for the German Free Democratic Party, which urged people a couple of days prior to the state election, in Berlin on September 18, to "think openly" about an "orderly Greek insolvency".

(If I didn't hate the word "brainstorming" so much, I'd probably call it brainstorming software.) What the papers won’t say Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that BP threw an extravagant party, with oysters and expensive champagne. Let’s imagine that Britain’s most senior politicians were there — including the Prime Minister and his chief spin doctor. And now let’s imagine that BP was the subject of two separate police investigations, that key BP executives had already been arrested, that further such arrests were likely, and that the chief executive was heavily implicated.

Hours Hours actually worked per person in employment are according to National Accounts concepts for 18 countries: Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
