Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator and associate editor at The Financial Times. He is one of foremost economic commentators in the world. He has been called “arguably the most trusted pundit of the current economic crisis.” Politicians, economists and business leaders sing his praise: Larry Summers, former Director of President Obama’s National Economic Council, called him “probably the most deeply thoughtful and professionally informed economic journalist in the world at this point.” Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff gushed “He really is the premier financial and economics writer in the world.” Mohamed El Erian, CEO of PIMCO, the world’s biggest bond investor was equally glowing: “He is, by far, the most influential economic columnist out there. His columns are eagerly anticipated.”
We’re very happy, then, to have the opportunity to put some of your ideas to Martin Wolf next week. We’ll be interviewing him during the week of 29 August for Debating Europe, and would love to get his reactions to some of your suggestions. Send us your ideas / questions for Martin Wolf in the comments below, or in our forum, on Twitter, Facebook or by email.
We’re particularly interested in your ideas for solving the European financial crisis. Should we abandon the Eurozone? Introduce a Financial Transaction Tax? Do we need stronger economic governance? Should Greece leave the Euro? Or perhaps Germany? Let us know what you think, and we’ll ask one of the world’s leading economic commentators to respond.
Let’s see his reaction when you are going to ask :
Who is the Euro property ?
Does ECB print money from nothing whitout gold reserve ?
Is it right to pay back the work of ECB as you pay a tipograpy ?
Do you think money values is due to the inexistes power of ECB or is due to a social convention beetween the people ?
The Only one solution is the Currency to the people.
the Currency has to given back to people because it belongs to people not to banks
An idea to help stimulate European growth.
A way to find a common denominator that all European Union Members can use to help stimulate growth and help pay off their individual deficits or help ease their austerity measures.
The idea would be to build a publically funded Motor Car that all members would have a part in manufacture as well as assembly and sales. An uncomplicated affordable car, with environment issues taken into account and limiting the choice of models. Maybe the first Hybrid car designed for mass production, and or a simple small diesel/petrol model. Cars to be kept as universal as possible, taking into account each members own Road Traffic regulations. Keeping costs down by introducing a minimum to maximum wage structure set within government guidelines for public service workers.
Firstly all parts would be manufactured within the European Community, with each Member building specific parts only. Each Member will have their agreed list of parts to manufacture, to use and sell to other members. Each member would then purchase other parts they need for car assembly from the other members who manufacture those specific parts only.
Each Member would have their own car assembly points, and will only assemble cars for their own market. A car built in a member’s Country could only be sold and used in that country, no importing complete cars from other states. This will give each member control of its own market without fear of price wars and leading to low profits. Only parts can be imported and exported. No importing or exporting duties to be levied, keeping prices consistent.
A set agreed price for all parts manufactured in all Countries, all members will be able to purchase parts from any member at the set price. Car Retail prices would be set by each country for their own market and own financial needs.
Each country would have the opportunity to manufacture parts to be sold to other members. Also to Build and sell their own vehicles for their own market, and stopping any problems of competition from imported vehicles.
All funding to be made by each country and or the Euro zone
bailout fund depending, and profits to be kept or used by that country for their own deficit repayments. A single, transparent, central financial hub that all activity will pass through. Thus protecting each member from falling into difficulty un-noticed.
This idea could lead to increased employment and public financial profit, the opportunity to help stimulate growth for each member’s own market, and also help other Member Countries by trading together in a safe and controlled market.
The Eurocar, a product made by Europeans for Europeans with the emphasis of building a future for one and all.
