On January 10 I wrote an article on the Seeking Alpha site titled “10 ‘Front and Center’ Problem Areas That Pose a Threat to the Economy.”
From time to time I like to revisit this list as these threats remain very relevant to our current and future economic situation.
The European Debt Crisis was listed as #2 on the list. How this crisis is evolving is very notable, and has broader implications. Here is what I said in the aforementioned article:
European debt crisis: This situation appears to be unresolved in many respects. In fact, it almost appears to be a slow-spreading contagion. One interpretation of this overall situation is that it may signal a repudiation of (sovereign) debt. Should this interpretation prove accurate, it would not bode well for our highly-indebted global economy.
