Um excerto duma entrevista:

“Will that by definition collapse?

Yes, because it’s an exponential occurrence. At the time that the options market first began in the 1980’s – initially the derivatives market – at that time there were but a few million dollars that were sunk into it worldwide. Now we see that that has grown in the 28 years since to almost 500 trillion dollars. So it’s exponential. That also has to do with the desire to take risks – if things are going well for a long period of time, people are going to take more and more risks. But they’re not getting corrected by a gold standard that would force you at a given moment to pay back your money to your creditors or to the banks. Debts are getting loaned out anew, in the form of a ‘CDO’ – a Collateralized Debt Obligation. They get bundled together – mortgages, loans… It gets put back into the market again in the form of financial instruments.”

Ou seja, como já aqui referi, temos uma crise financeira estrutural de enorme gravidade que se junta a uma provável crise energética sem precedentes. Tempestade perfeita?
