The 'recovery' is NOT weak. It does not exist except in the minds and on the books of the central bankers. Global growth has peaked. Now we get to see the consequences of the hubris that is our 'monetary system' which, unfortunately, depends entirely on perpetual growth. The ponzi is exposed for what it is, and the exponential function has reached as far into infinity as we're going to get.The central banks believe firmly that they can print prosperity. The only 'growth' we'll see from here into the foreseeable future is in social unrest - the population was promised perpetual growth and comfort for all, and they are not happy about being lied to anymore
