45 Tage Macht, null Einsicht: Liz Truss rechnet ab – und sieht sich als Opfer eines Komplotts
Ihr Name steht für wegbrechendes Vertrauen an Finanzmärkten. Nun will die kurzzeitige britische Premierministerin mit einem Buch ihre Ehre retten.
Liz Truss, the former British Prime Minister, has written a book titled "Bank Job" to rehabilitate her image after her brief 45-day tenure as leader. The book claims to reveal a conspiracy by a powerful elite to undermine her government and markets. The cover features masked men representing prominent figures like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and Mark Carney.
Truss accuses the Bank of England of manipulating markets through its bond purchases to save the government's flawed budget. She also blames pension funds for their misguided strategies based on low-interest rates. Truss believes the Bank intentionally caused market panic to justify their intervention and save the unpopular budget.
She feels deeply aggrieved by these allegations and criticizes the media for their lack of economic understanding. Critics have called her book "the most ridiculous thing I have read" and given it zero stars.
