oh boy, another one of those explanations by the people who brought us the paradigm shift in capitalism circa 1999 internet bubble time.
it started again in foreign affairs early this year, explaining that the negative savings rate of us consumers is really nothing to worry about as their net worth is increasing due to rising house prices.
now this. dark matter. i especially love the example on what dark matter constitutes: EURO DISNEY. the darkest stain on the otherwise pretty good run of the disney corp in the last 20 years. being kept alive by some saudi princes and commercial banks.
and it still doesn’t explain what will happen when chinaman central bank says: enough, i will sell my treasuries. or to put it differently mr greenspan printing money and nobody wanting to buy it.

You mean the future of Europe is not agriculture?

You could have fooled me.

But the french and Germans are very smart not only being the engines of the EU but also their leaders.

Hopefully you guys will end up where you want to be.

Wave when you get there…

And maybe that big new technological project, Galileo, can save us.

And all the European countries are talking about now is the UK rebate and the huge handouts to rich French farmers. Do we really believe that maintaining all those subsidies will keep the European economy going?
