Why Europe’s Plan to End the Debt Crisis Can’t and Won’t Work

The actions need to try to stabilize the European debt crisis are well recognized. But Even if measures could be implemented as soon as possible, success is not assured. However without them, the chance of a disorderly collapse is increasingly significant.

The Final Countdown

Not interfering with the market’s adjustment process is simply allowing Schumpeterian “creative destruction” to operate, and cleanse the forest. But that process is anathema to well-compensated entrenched interests that suckle from the teat of the State. Banks, for example.

How “Adjusting for Slippage” Adds to Sovereign Debt Woes

“Adjusting for slippage” is the latest government fashion…and it is expensive. “Governments of the world’s leading economies have more than $7.6 trillion of debt maturing this year,” Bloomberg News reports, “with most facing a rise in borrowing costs.”

Debts With Unsolvable Insolvency

Even before debt became such a big problem, real growth had already begun to disappear from the developed world. There has been none in Japan for the last 20 years…and almost no real growth in the US private sector for the last 10 years. In Europe, grosso modo, the story is similar.

The War Against the Euro

The Americans are trying to discredit the euro in order to perpetuate dollar hegemony, so goes the argument. Hmm. It’s possible. It’s also possible that all central bankers and monetary policy makers are singing from the same hymnal. Their answer to the end of the credit bubble is to try and pump it back up with currency debasement. In that case, this is a war of all against all.

Don’t Invest in Europe’s Debt

On December 5th 2011, S&P warned the Europeans to get their divided house in order. Almost nothing constructive or helpful to solve Europe’s debt problem has happened since then. On Friday the 13th January 2012, Standard and Poor’s cut the credit ratings of nine European countries. S&P’s biggest scalp was France.

Europe’s Flawed Financial Transactions Tax (FTT)

Europe’s Financial Transactions Tax (FTT) may disincentivise financial transactions by adding to their marginal cost. But as long as the supply of credit and cheap money to the banking system remains abundant, the banks have an open invitation to speculate.

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.

    Find out why, right here
