“I do not know Mr. Kalogritsas and neither do I want to get to know him.”
Mr. Papadimoulis sent a clear message to those who declared Mr. Kalogritsas a final tender nominee, (secretary general of information and communication Mr. Kretsis) or talked about checking the asset acquisition records only up to the amount of the first installment (Mr. Pappas), saying:

Concerning the issue of the Attica bank, he said:

Filis fueled the fire that has erupted between him and the church. Attacking the church on Kontra TV, accused it of being responsible for the moral decline of the society.
Among other things, he said:
“Which part was the church in during both the junta and the German occupation? With which constitutional revision will the government move to a neutral state religious-wise and the neutral school? The modern cultural identity of the Greeks is a key issue. The orthodoxy is rich, it is not one-dimensional.” …
“The church’s position on the religious studies subject is an obscurantism stance. Religious studies should not be done in a proselytizing and catechetical way. It is inconceivable for the church of the 20th century to determine which courses will be taught in schools. These things are anachronism and obscurantism and we are not going to discuss them.”

    According to any situation there are two aspects, whether it is “Utilitarian” or “Deontological” from the two points of view whether from the bank’s view or the clients. As mentioned in the previous ethical situation, the client who proposed to the bank with two different balance sheets, he thought that the bank won’t mind to accept his loan and the balance sheet as they would know that businesses don’t prefer to pay too much taxes. From the Bank point of view this is an unethical situation from the client, from the utilitarian point of view: first what “Utilitarian” means, the happiness and satisfaction of greater number of people, and an action is morally right when it’s consequences leads to an overall happiness. The bank here refused to give the client the loan, as the bank consider this situation as a fraud, and running from paying his obligations which are the taxes, so the bank chose to act in a legal and ethical way to give the Bank its reputation and support the Government.…

    Andrew Jackson President Andrew Jackson barred the proposed bill re-chartering the Second Bank of United States in July 1832. He disputed that the bill, in the form with which it had been presented to him, was totally incompatible with sound policy and justice as well as the constitution. In the veto message, the President argued that the Bank’s license was completely unfair by virtue of the fact that it gave the bank extensive, almost monopolistic power in the market particularly in the markets that facilitated financial resources across the country and in other countries as well. Such market dominance amplified the banks profits and consequent stock price, “which operated as a gratuity of many million (of dollars) to the stakeholders,” who, President Jackson claimed, included majority of “foreigners” and “our own opulent” citizens. In his perspective, he recommended that, to be fairer to Americans, it was vital to develop or establish a bank that is wholly owned by the government or at least auction the monopoly privileges of the Second Bank of the US to the top bidder.…

Due to a series of financial crises with many banks, especially the one in 1907, the Federal Reserve was created in December 1913. The many crises led to “panics” which caused people to run tot heir banks and withdraw all of their money. During those times when one bank failed, the same would happen to other banks, which caused customers of other banks to withdraw everything, even when the bank was not in danger. Because of this, banks needed a source of reserves incase of emergencies to prevent people from panicking.…

    My interest in economics unexpectedly began via football. After England's disappointing World Cup exit in 2010, I picked up a book written by a sports economist: "Soccernomics: Why England Loses." The author examined the data of England's performances relative to that of other countries given the differences in population, GDP per capita, and other factors. He came to the conclusion that England was in fact matching expectations. The applicability of economics and the intricate process economists use to solve problems intrigued me.…

    During August 2007 in Germany, a rescue package of €3.5 billion was arranged by the German government for the country’s IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG which had also been afflicted by the US sub-prime market crisis. The whole affair, however, was handled much more cautiously with the public being given no serious indication towards the extent of IKB’s plight. The rationale for this type of secrecy, in the event where wide-spread panic has not yet occurred, was set out in a speech by Eddie George, Governor of the Bank of England in 1994 (cited in Financial Stability Review, 1999, p.…
