Nouriel Roubini: ¿Cómo evitar la Gran Depresión II?

Hoy queremos comentar los argumentos que esgrime Nouriel Roubini en su artículo «Cómo prevenir una depresión» de esta semana en el blog de Reuters «The Great Debate«. Recordemos que Roubini es un prestigiosísimo economista que predijo perfectamente la gran crisis financiera de 2008, aunque en aquel momento se le tachó de agorero para arriba, ganándose el calificativo de Dr. Doom (Dr. Catástrofe). Los acontecimientos posteriores han demostrado que dicho calificativo era, lamentablemente, injustificado. (more…)

He did in fact buy it, but with such misfortune for Adriana that their relationship broke down immediately afterwards. Her lawyers are now claiming 50M to compensate for the displeasure, moral damage, harassment and I don't know how many other things.

The stress of the test

In mid-2010, some well-known Spanish banks were sending us investment proposals in Greek sovereign debt. The reports and analyses we kept receiving insistently said that it was foolish not to take advantage of the yield differential between the bonds of Eurozone countries. They argued vehemently that we should not forget that, after all, this was an EU country, and that the Greeks would never be allowed to default, not even if their bonds depreciated by much more than they did at the time, with yields still hovering around 6%.
