Ma se il debito è il problema come fa a essere anche la soluzione?

Forse l'attuale grande illusione è contenuta in questa frase di Alan Greenspan, già Maestro e già presidente della Fed:

“The U.S. can pay any debt because we can always print more money.”

Government intervention is the root cause of the financial crisis and the maladies identified by Roubini. Many of his proposals, such as debt restructuring and maintaining liquidity to solvent borrowers, are common sense initiatives that ought to be followed immediately. But the proposals by Roubini and others that governments should borrow and print even more fiat currency to fuel further fiscal stimulus are badly considered. Economists from Paul Krugman in the US to Adam Posen in the UK all call for more stimuli. They are all wrong.
