Ann Pettifor, sem var gestur í Silfrinu á sunnudaginn, skrifar um Íslandsheimsókn sína á vefinn Debtonation.

Eins og í þættinum gagnrýnir hún harkalega hagfræðinga sem gáfu íslenska hagkerfinu heilbrigðisvottorð stuttu fyrir hrun.

Í þættinum notaði hún reyndar orðið „glæpsamlegt“ um þetta.

Annars segir hún meðal annars þetta, um skudasúpuna, orðstír þjóðarinnar og verðtrygginguna:

„Which is why it was sad to see proud, independent and innocent sheep farmers, fishermen and workers lose their independence to creditors. One complained that Icelanders could handle the severity of financial losses. However, what is unbearable to the Icelandic ‘soul’ is the damage inflicted on their nation’s reputation by a small group of bankers – cheered on by internationally-renowned, neo-liberal economists.

I learned a lot. The one fact that angered me most is that Icelanders that took out loans with domestic banks have had those loans ‘indexed’ to inflation –  by law it appears. Clearly, Iceland was another bank-owned-state, governed in the interests of creditors. If their new government is to represent the interests of the Icelandic people, and not just those of creditors, then legally-binding indexing must be repealed.“
