É importante tomar nota do que Mariana Mazzucato diz no Guardian:
"(...) The conditions of the bailout therefore should have been conditions
that emulate the kind of public sector reform and investment strategy
that characterises many of the competitive powerhouses of northern
Europe – including Germany. Indeed, Greece should not do what Germany
says it does (austerity), but what Germany actually does (invest).
Over the last decade, Germany has invested in all the key
areas that not only increase productivity, but also create
innovation-led growth. Companies like Siemens are the result of a
dynamic public-private eco-system in Germany, with high government
spending on science-industry links (Fraunhofer institutes), the
existence of a large and strategic public bank (KfW) that provides
patient, long-term, committed capital to German businesses, a long
run-focused stakeholder type of corporate governance (rather than the
short-termist shareholder Anglo-Saxon model that southern Europe
has copied), an above-average R&D/GDP ratio (rather than the below
average one in Greece, Portugal and Italy), investments in vocational
training and human capital, and a mission-oriented ‘energiewende’
strategy focused on greening the entire economy.
Imagine the very different types of result we would have witnessed
had the negotiations been about stuffing an investment strategy down
Greece’s throat, rather than more cuts. 'OK, we will bail you out, but
reform your country, and kickstart public investments (of the type named
above), so that you are ready for the 2020 innovation challenge.'
Instead, insisting on the status quo full of more austerity produced an increasingly weaker Greece, more unemployment and more loss of competitiveness. (...)"
