The Eurozone Crisis

Marcus Brooks is an English man who keeps up a blog entitled "The Brooks Report." He describes his blog's purpose as "fighting mainstream media and nonsense corporate propaganda" and recently he has been following closely the crisis in the EU. Most of his posts link to articles published by the BBC or the Times, and he often includes relevant video clips as well. His commentary focuses mainly on the financial aspect of the crisis, as it appears that he is very well versed in this field. However, his most recent posts have been dedicated to the political situations in Greece and Italy, and how these new political leaders will be able to help improve the Eurozone crisis. Mr. Brooks maintains this blog very well, posting at least once a day on the most current news involving the economic crisis in Europe. Not only does he comment on the current events, but he also provides his readers with his personal commentary and ideas. For example, in a recent post he discussed England's consideration of injecting newly printed money into banks, and he proposed a solution that he thought would be more beneficial to England's economy. His positions seem to reflect a very conservative and strictly market capitalist point of view, and I do not find that I agree with many of his conclusions or solutions. However, I do appreciate his attempt to keep an up to date stream of information and dialogue going about this event in particular, and I find it very helpful in better understanding the current situation in Europe.
