Thematic debate on the „State of the World Economy and Finance in 2012“ – General Assembly, United Nations, New York, 17 May 2012
„This much also should be clear: As great as the market failures were in creating the crisis, the bubbles that brought about the global financial crisis, today the markets are again failing. We have the same resources, the same human resources, the same physical resources, the same natural resources that we had in 2008 before the crisis. And having eliminated the distortions we should actually have a higher GDP but of course instead we have a much lower performance. It is clear that the markets are not utilizing our resources well. And it’s also clear that our governments are failing to correct these failures of the market. We live in a world in which there are unused and underutilized resources and huge unmet needs. Recall that it’s been half a decade since the breaking of the bubble and the economies are not only not repaired, [they] are not likely to be back to normal any time soon. Their prospects are bleak. In the United States for instance the forcasts of return to full employment by the end of the decade are looking increasingly dim. The prospects of recovering the growth that was lost are nil. The 1980s were spoken as the lost decade for Latin America. A lost decade that was a result of flawed economic policies. This decade will be the lost decade for Europe and America. And again a lost decade as a result of flawed economic policies.“
Ништа, али готово апсолутно ништа није се променило од обраћања професора Стиглица УН на тематској дебати „Стање светске економије и финансија у 2012“. Сасвим слободно овај видео клип може да се датира на 2014. годину.
Није Стиглиц футуриста који беспрекотно тачно визионари. Ствар је у томе да професор указује на фундаменталне узроке настанка кризе – недостаци тржишта и недостаци адекватне државне интервенције који делују и данас и, како ствари стоје, деловаће и даље. Ефекти су онда лако предвидиви. Изгубљене године, изгубљена декада. Ресурси су ту, али савремени економски систем није у стању да их употреби на одговарајући начин.
