Thus, any cessation of the fall is good, and France and Germany are its largest economies. EU may not do a V or even a vigorous U, but I am looking at US and world economy. Sure, some places will be behind, but this news shows them doing better than expected, thus supporting possibility of more vigorous recovery elsewhere.<br /><br />Jazzbumpa,<br /><br />Well, the cover story in The Economist this week is about a Bounce in Asia with a nice big V on the cover, and the story says it is for real and provides a lot of reasons why. They came roaring out of both 1997 and 2001, and there are good reasons to think that they are doing so now. This looks like a live cat bounce (and I am in Seoul, South Korea at this moment, where the locals confirm it).Barkley Rosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114257724762074636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-70870478037612897432009-08-16T20:03:46.311-04:002009-08-16T20:03:46.311-04:00Joe K -

That figure for Germany looks an awfully lot like a U.<br /><br />A lot of Asian tiger economies had the same kind of protection this last September as the Philippines had during the Asian Financial Crisis ... having gone through a financial meltdown not that long ago, their finance sectors were not in Minsky's Ponzi position when the global financial crisis hit.<br /><br />However, in the epicenters of the global financial crisis, in North America and the EU, the prospects for a V-shaped recovery would not seem to be as strong.BruceMcFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08502035881761277885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-58175734664855067662009-08-16T03:33:26.607-04:002009-08-16T03:33:26.607-04:00did not say FRG bounced.
