Alhambra: China's Economy Is Not Crashing, It's Worse Than That
Intuitively, the Eurobanks were wreaked by the huge amount of bad paper bought from the USA in particular, thanks to the sub prime loan scam. This was fixed by cashing out most of that bad paper. Only problem and this is world wide , there was no way to replace those lost assets. They simply do not exist in the volumes needed. Thus the banks saved themselves on one side of the balance sheet but were totally marooned on the other side. The solution of course is to end global poverty and adjusting the banking system as well.
