Pošto dugujem komentar o privatizaciji/nacionaliziciji banka vezano za Škegrov nastup u Nu2, ne želim ovdje dužiti previše, samo ukazati na kratki članak u NYT ekonomskog kolumnista David Leonharda koji odlično sumira vrste i motive nacionalizacije banaka. Vrlo je lako nenamjerno pobrkati prave razloge i ciljeve nacionalizacije banaka te ono što se zbiva u jednoj zemlji iskoristiti za političke ciljeve u drugoj. To je ono što se dogodilo u Nu2 sa Škegrom i Stankovićem i oko čega je bilo najžustrije rasprave.
Izdvojeno:
There are really two different kinds of nationalization. The first draws on a belief that the government can run large enterprises more justly and efficiently than self-interested capitalists can. This is the nationalization of Lenin, Chávez and Mitterrand, and its record is pretty dismal. France’s economy staggered through the 1980s, as government-run banks backed political pet projects that didn’t work out.
The second version of nationalization is the one that today’s advocates point to. It is a temporary takeover born out of crisis. Sweden pursued this kind of strategy in the early 1990s to clean up its banking system. Even the United States has nationalized banks on occasion, including IndyMac Bank last year.
