Será mau carácter?

Será mau carácter da minha parte?

Não sei explicar, mas tenho um feeling que me diz que a história que a Elaine conta "Trade Deficits Kill Empires" faz muito mais sentido que a história que Ambrose conta "Asia will author its own destruction if it triggers a crisis over US bonds"

Ou me engano muito ou estamos a assistir ao fim do Império Americano ponto! Kaput! Finito! The End! Fim! Koniec!

É História com agá grande a acontecer em tempo real.

E quem vai comprar os bens que os desgraçados dos cidadãos americanos compravam ao resto do mundo com todo o crédito a que tinham acesso e deixaram de ter?

Aqueles conselhos que os antigos que viveram a sua infância na primeira metade do século XX nos davam não eram conversa salazarista... eram o fruto da experiência de quem já passou por isto e sabe que a onda volta sempre para cobrar o payback time.

Outra fonte "Will The Dollar Standard Collapse?" onde se pode ler este resumo significativo:
.
"The US gets goods; China gets dollars. China takes its excess dollars, and invests them back in the US, whether in the form of treasury bonds, Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities, or US corporate bonds. The US takes those dollars and buys more Chinese goods. China gets more excess dollars and reinvests in the US. The US buys more Chinese goods. And on and on, until the US credit market debt as a % of GDP goes from 150% in 1970 to 350% in 2008. Just as reference, that number was 130% in 1950. During the gold standard, debt-to-GDP hardly grew. Under fiat money, it has soared. America isn’t awash in debt because we’re inherently greedy, profligate consumers. It’s because money is no longer backed by gold. China and Japan eagerly reinvest their dollars back in the United States so as to keep their currencies low relative to the US dollar. American consumers and companies happily borrow the money foreigners are throwing their way. The party lasted until 2007, when Americans finally began having trouble paying their enormous debts."
