Thatcher Was Right To Remain Outside Europe

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, not representing the Vote Leave party of the United Kingdom, said former Britain Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was correct in her plan to stay out of Europe.

According to Varoufakis, Britain would face about a half-rate unemployment once it joined the Euro.

Britain’s special arrangement with the Eurozone allows it to stay out of Europe and have its own currency.

Speaking in the Hay Literary festival, Varoufakis said he had protested against Thatcher’s government living in the 70s and 80s but he admired Thatcher’s principles about a lot of things.

“That last speech…for Prime Minister’s Questions, she gave an amazing performance… and someone from the other side decided to challenge her on the opposition to the European Central Bank policy and she came out all guns blazing and made the most pertinent comment about European Central Bank and the Eurozone.

“It was very nuanced and sophisticated. She said that whoever controls interest rates in Europe control the politics of Europe and that money cannot be de-politicised .

“And the idea that we can be outside the realm of politics, a democratic business managing Europe money is the first step towards very unsavoury burdens and she was completely and utterly right.

“She was probably completely correct it is because of that you don’t have 50 per cent unemployment which you would have had if you had been in Europe.

“Even though I spent my youth joining every demonstration against Mrs Thatcher’s government, and there were many, I always had a great appreciation of her.”

Where is It Best To Work In Finance In The United States?

Careers in finance involve having theoretical knowledge and a bit of know-how in mortgage, insurance and investment banking industries.

In the United Kingdom are rich opportunities for fresh finance graduates. However, the best finance companies are ones that offer great benefits to employees. Those companies can be found in the United States.

Compiling information from PayScale, I’ve seen these three companies in action and I’ve to say they’re pretty good!

Capital One Financial

In Virginia is a company that provides about a $96,100 yearly pay with satisfying benefits. Capital One Financial is a 45,000 employee-strong company in Virginia’s natural McClean offices. Employees are staying because there’s nowhere else you could get healthy living rewards from your benefits, including an incentive program to stay healthy.

New York Life Insurance

If you could survive the terrains of New York and its expensive lifestyle, you could find a job that pays you $76,000 in New York Life Insurance.

NYLI is an international insurance firm that promotes inclusion amongst its employees. It even has its own “The Women’s Initiative”, which helps career development for female employees, ensuring gender equality in the workplace.

Fannie Mae

You’ve heard this name in the news several times analysing finance and mortgage-related issues in the country. The government sponsored mortgage-servicing giant is in Washington DC and can give you a take home $114,000.

Employees get plenty of opportunities to volunteer and take paid hours off their work for doing such. The work usually involves charity. And you’ll be encouraged because you get lots of time off for doing so!
