Many of us on this forum have lived all or most of our lives post WWII so this is a good reminder that the last 70 years are somewhat anomalous.

Was that supposed to be a linky?

Yep. That's the url of the page, not sure why it's showing up as a link.

You're missing the http:// part.

Huh, must be an anomaly with the way it comes up in my phone's browser. I just cut and pasted.

Use the "Insert Hyperlink" button on the post toolbar. It's the one with the blue globe underneath the U button

This changes everything. For two generations markets have mostly thought of risk in terms of tame risk: the risk that an asset might lose some of its value, the risk that a particular counterparty might not fulfill its side of a transaction. But now we are back to the world of real risk or wild risk: the risk that a currency might disappear, the risk that a major government (as opposed to the occasional banana republic) might default on its debts, the risk that a financial crisis could erupt and that no government, no central bank could limit its scope or temper its impact.
Interesting times.
I suspect markets have not yet included that risk. When they do, expect the market/investors to demand greater return for the increased risk they take.

What I really like is China bitching about our debt in one breath and the very next buy up more.
