Quote of the Day: "May"?


As manufactured credit balloons, savings disappear and the marginal productivity of debt collapses

"The Austrians may have had it right all along: ...ineffective central bank policies, which cause interest rates to remain too low for too long, resulting in excessive credit creation, speculative economic bubbles and lowered savings.”
~ Lance Roberts from his post (and tweet) 'There Will Be No Economic Boom'

    Note that almost the entire mainstream view on economic growth sees it coming as a result of borrowing -- of borrowing created out of thin air.
    So ask yourself what it means for this theory when both savings and the marginal productivity of debt are rapidly declining.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
