During the financial crisis, it was national governments that bailed out banks and firms, recapitalized the financial system, guaranteed debts, eased liquidity, primed the fiscal pump, and paid the unemployment and welfare checks – and took the blame for everything that went wrong.
Durante a crise financeira, foram os governos nacionais que socorreram os bancos e as empresas, recapitalizaram o sistema financeiro, garantiram as dívidas, aliviaram a pressão sobre a liquidez, estimularam a economia e pagaram os subsídios de desemprego e pensões sociais - e assumiram a culpa por tudo o que correu mal.
