This is an economy where finance rules. Everything is in concerted action. The populaces made afraid to walk the line and vote ‘right’. It is not the case that the trouble is unreal. The trouble is very real.

De-instrialization, hollow out, consumer society responding for 70% of the GDP, a war beign fought using foreigners money, pension promises that can’t be fullfilled... All that is real.
It is the way the trouble is being dealt with that is the problem.

The Great Unwind could not be done with bloody in the streets a la TJ script. Or back to the woods, store propane and keep the guns ready. That is not how the Great Unwinding will play on. That would be TEOTWAWKI. Red flags rioters and such.
But we need rich epople, and rich people would not lose their money out. Rich people will keep on. War, peace, changing in ideologies... They move the money to where it is better treated and where it procreate more money.

What is happening is ensuing of the transfer of capital to make more money. Capital has no flag. It moves along seeking where it is better treated and where it camn extract a surplus. Last time we had it moving from British Empire to the US and the G-7 grouping.

Now it is time for capital to make the next move. Out of the OECD and towards emerging markets. The flood gates have been kept closed artificially for too long. Now it will open and flood the economies that have economic activity and no capital moving away from where there was no economic activity and lots of capital.

Even the right president was elected to manage the poverty aleviation for the sudden return to natural size. Thus avoid violent protests.

Lots more on the way.

Hedge funds and any other lightly regulated class of entity will see its share.
