The Global Outlook
The global economy is behaving precisely as the history of financial crises have shown: Vulnerable to too much debt!
“Low”-- sub-normal-- global economic growth is expected for balance of decade with slowest period from now to 2014/2015.
Low growth, excess capacity implies low interest rates and low global inflation for several more years. However, interest rates will be lower than inflation rates!—”financial repression”
Global electoral cycle and policy/political discourse portends political paralysis—fostering a “muddling through” as opposed to decisive action.
