What sovereign risk? Is there still a country called Greece? I thought they have all melt together into one country called EuroZone. Unlike US or UK, Greece cannot even print its own money. At least the Chinese can print more money if they wanted. But why would they? They still have US$2Trillion of foreign currency reserve. Where is the sovereign risk? I do not get it. Sovereign risk?

I doubt Mr. Saft was around, or aware, back then so, like so many of his youthful peers, he believes that this time around is the first time these things have ever happened and he's gonna write about them! And scare everybody too! Back off, son, and get a few more decades behind you before you presume to write everything off.

"disinflationary, perhaps even deflationary' - phew, larger quantum leaps than your jumps between the USofWalmart, China and Greece. What about the other 187 odd economies ? Rate hikes are not black and white, it is shades of grey. Not one of your better one’s James.
