The myth of riskless debt

Much has been learned from the ongoing financial debacle that has been painfully rattling the world’s financial structure in recent years.

Savings, investment, and the Keynesian preference – a follow-up

There is a general belief that government finances are somehow immune from the financial reality faced by everyone else – an illusion fostered by bond markets and supported by the public’s wishful thinking.

Katastrophenhausse
