Beginning of the end of QE

When central banks stop pumping money into the world’s economies, there’s no telling how markets will react

Coalitions of the willing

As more countries wield more power, bilateral deals and pacts between allies will become the norm

Growth leaves wages behind

It’s not the size of the economy that counts, it’s what you do with it

    The big idea that you missed on is "Vitanomics". That's" the recvolutionary replacement of economics".The idea (book) that's "replacing economics by the power of logic". "In the same way as chemistry replaced alchemy and medicine replaced quackery". The idea (book) that was on free downloads at amzon.com before Xmas. More on the idea (book) at www.vitanomics.net

    Another that you missed is power generation. Precautionary policies are too expensive. Global warming has happened, but it hasn't yet been catastrophic. Maybe it won't be. Those who are convinced of the contrary need to find policies that doubters can also sign up to.. .
