Sarkozy, Steinbrueck, And Brown:the Three Musketeers Take On The Global Crisis

摘要

Although French President Nicolas Sarkozy manages to project the illusion of European-U.S. unity when talking to the press on the lawn of the White House with outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush by his side, when addressing the work on a new financial architecture he didn't mince his words. "Financial turmoil around the world shows that markets and the laissez-faire attitude have failed," he said in Toulon. "The idea of self-regulation to solve problems is over. Laissez-faire is over. The all-powerful market is over."rnSarkozy called for heavy regulation of financial markets to dampen speculation and for practical steps to ridrnthe corporate world of its excesses. He urged executives to self-regulate remuneration, or the government would intervene before the end of the year.
