“Who is rescuing whom and why?” is a short animation about the current efforts by the eurozone states to stabilize their economies and the European internal market in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2009.
The film shows how the economic and employment crises which succeeded the financial turmoil have had an impact on the budgets of the eurozone states; how as a result of various stabilization measures public debt has soared in all of the eurozone states; and what this indebtedness means for the common currency.
With this animation the Europe Programme of the Bertelsmann Stiftung would like to make a contribution to the debate about the need for common EU economic policymaking. Above all we would like to remind you of “The story so far . . .”
The film and the spoken text may be downloaded free of charge. If you find “Who is rescuing whom and why?” interesting and useful, please tell other people about it. Comments and queries should be sent to contact@fortunatelyunified.eu.
