The election results in europe could be major economic inflection points, I don't expect anything to happen immediately but over a period we could see a decoupling in the economic world order. So far the coordination between world soverigns has worked well with bailouts and competitive decoupling to fake growth with debt, and the only way that game ends is when the decoupling starts, needs a trigger and others follow the herd fearing that they not be left behind in decopling. This may set a stage for that. My suspicion is that the decoupling would not be triggered from austerity but demand for even more bailouts and printing....the FED/ECB used printing and bailouts as a tool and with the new governments in place rejecting austerity they may start wanting even more of these to sustain status quo. Eventually, they get a taste of their own medicine until they puke, I don't think the FED/ECB wants hyperinflation, they wanted right level of inflation and paper asset dilution, but likely they will get a much stronger dose of what they started beyond their comfort zone that could drive toward hyper-inflationary policies. But we can only guess at this point how it shapes up, may be they need another trigger.

Exactly, this is a non event to anyone who considered it. europe as a united states is a lost cause...best they can hope for is not to end up preying on one another. build high fences with domed defense. the international is looking for its leader, france could emerge...as a wanna be, but will rescind its run, as they stare into russian eyes, everybody knows whose the big dog.
