    As I warned in my Pan-European Sovereign Debt Crisis series and amid a depression, this Eastern European government has collapsed. Western European countries (and their banks) have material claims within this country, and when combined with pressure from the PIIGS, may be the ones that set off the financial/economic contagion daisy chain. It is difficult to determine who sets it off, which is why it is best to attempt to determine the path of the contagion instead...

Why do they acquiesce, and not push for meaningful post-crisis reforms?

    The fact that Google will not kowtow to Bejing and will walk away from the market of greatest potential is to me a commendable act. This is a companion piece to my series, "China's Fragile Economy, Its Housing Bubble, and What It Means To Us." China is not a liberal country, by far.

So China is questioning our internal spending decisions?  Hmm.  What was that about our creditors taking control of our politics?

Any word if Gary Parr's "motorboating" expedition was worth the inevitable persona non-grada that comes with being affiliated with that nut job?
