Derivatives Contraction Is Leading Cause Of Bank Deflation And Credit Crunch: Economists Ignore This Fact

Derivatives monster ate capital not debt

Here is a typical example of how the huge Derivatives Beast is ignored by economists pretending to understand what is going on in the world.  I have explained for years how the derivatives game suddenly appeared during the years banks were deregulated and offshored.  This game meant NO CAPITAL was needed for lending and bankers lent money they didn’t have to all and sundry with wild abandon.  Then, when debt deals went bankrupt, there was no capital base to cover losses and the entire system suddenly collapsed in 2008.

GM Is Officially Bankrupt & A BIS Japan Banking Report

 

The Bank for International Settlements released another interesting report this week.  It is all about Japan’s savings mania and how secularization of debts missed Japan, which is why Japan is still solvent, unlike the US and UK.  And Geithner is following Pelosi, going to China to beg and cajole China into becoming a consumer nation.  I guess, Hu needs some jesters to come and entertain him.  Bet he films all this for his own chuckles, later.  And GM is now bankrupt.  A terrible milestone we should all fear.
