Mercantilism still works when you’re accumulating paper rather than gold, if your key goal is building your domestic industries. I won’t talk about other likely outcomes, but suffice to say, those would seem to have occurred too.
I don’t think there was some grand master plan hatched in 1997. I think this is just the way things happened to work out.
locust says: Can someone explain what is a credit recovery swap or recovery lock? Just when I thought I understood credit default swaps along comes something new….
I came across the term at Mortgage Insider.
locust says: Thank you ndk. I’ll admit though…I’m still confused about the use of a recovery default swap. Seems counterintuitive.

“Europe went OFF gold (bullion)
1929+, some countries (Mex, C)
stayed on a silver standard…’

Alpha Creditor? But Yves this is the age of the ALPHA DEBTOR. And guess who that is? In 1929 the US held claims in gold-backed currency. Your alpha creditor holds claims in IOUs issued by the ALPHA DEBTOR. There is alpha but then there is… ALPHA.
