Estou procurando os catastrofistas que previram que o “mundo ia acabar” (exagerando!) com a crise imobiliária dos EUA. Aqui no Brasil não faltou “especialista” pregando o impacto da crise americana no mundo.
Desde então, este blog decidiu que iria procurar evidências para apontar que o “mundo não iria acabar”, e que os catastrofistas só enganam os jornalistas (e seus jornais) que querem ser enganados pelas rápidas análises dos ditos especialistas.
Vejam só, abaixo, a evidência de resiliência que vem dos países da zona do euro, como mostra hoje o Prof. Mark J. Perry em seu blog!

EU-15 Economy Grows 3%, Highest Since 2006

FRANKFURT–The euro zone grew 0.76% during the first quarter of this year, the statistics agency Eurostat reported. The region’s numbers, which represent quarter-on-quarter growth, also got a surprising lift from France, where the economy grew 0.64% in the first quarter, and from the German economy, which grew 1.53% in the first quarter of this year.
The figures, which were about double what most economists expected, suggested that the European economy was demonstrating a resilience that seemed unlikely as recently as last autumn.
Note: The 0.76% quarter-to-quarter growth (3.04% annualized) for the EU-15 is the strongest economic growth there since the fourth quarter of 2006, and is significantly above the EU-15′s average growth of 0.50%.
