Barring truedisaster (something like the Weimar inflation) what happens to the macroeconomic indicators seems to make very little difference over time.
We're already seeing real global cooperation to prevent truedisaster, such as early October's coordinated rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the central banks of Sweden, Canada and Switzerland.
And I think one of things we have to do is to clean up politics and to make it once again the situation that people can believe what they hear because I think the truedisaster of this election was the non-vote and the number of people who said to me in the course of the campaign, but we can't believe anybody anymore.
