It is August. In a small town on the South Coast
of France, holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining so there
is not too much business happening.
Everyone is heavily in debt. Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in
the foyer of the small local hotel.
He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter,
takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the
third floor.
The hotel owner takes the banknote in and rushes to his meat supplier
to whom he owes E100.
The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.
The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased
some time ago.
The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who
gave him her services on credit.
The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she was owing the hotel
E100 for her hourly room use to entertain clients.
At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and
informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and
takes his E100 back and departs.
There was no profit or income.
But everyone no longer has any debt and the small townspeople look
optimistically towards their future.
COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION TO THE Global Financial Crisis?
