“Some banks, particularly in Spain and Italy, used portions of those funds to buy higher-yielding bonds issued by their governments at a time when most investors remained skittish, and it helped reduce government borrowing costs.
But many banks primarily used the funds to pay down maturing debts or simply deposited the money at other banks or with the ECB itself, even though they yield less. The infusion fell short of some politicians' hope that it would stimulate bank lending to customers in struggling European economies.”
Wall Street Journal, 1 March 2012

Over the last quarter of a century something fundamental seems to have changed in the way in which capitalism works.
The tendency since 1970 has been towards greater geographical mobility of capital.

Rather than being a modest helper to the capital accumulation process, [finance] gradually turned into a driving force.
Speculative finance became a kind of secondary engine for growth given the weakness in the primary engine, productive investment.

“Part of the reason people get less giddy about the Dow than they did five years ago is that they have learnt a bit about inequality.
what looks like a recovery, a rally or an increase in consumer confidence may just be the effect of elites passing money among themselves.“
Christopher Caldwell, FT 9 March 2013
