Didn't read it, but there apparently knowledgeable people pointing out some terrible weaknesses in the world economy. But picking economic trends is harder than picking a broken nose. Personally I think it's only a matter of time before neoliberalism unravels. The only question is how long will it hang on?

Cataclysmic year -- deflationary -- markets to drop precipitously -- buy Treasuries and Bonds -- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/econ ... nears.html

Usually, when this shit hits the news, it's already too late for us common folk.

I just wish that George Bush was here for me to give a good thrashing to. This Bush era economy is really kicking our ass....
