ALL of the so called, “economic recovery” that began in 2009 has been
based on the Central Banks’ abilities to rein in the collapse.
The first round of interventions (2007-early 2009) was performed in the
name of saving the system. The second round (2010-2012) was done because it
was generally believed that the first round hadn’t completed the task of
getting the world back to recovery.
However, from 2012 onward, everything changed. At that point the Central
Banks went “all in” on the Keynesian lunacy that they’d been employing since
2008. We no longer had QE plans with definitive deadlines. Instead phrases
like “open-ended” and doing “whatever it takes” began to emanate from Central
Bankers’ mouths.
However, the insanity was in fact greater than this. It is one thing to
bluff your way through the weakest recovery in 80+ years with empty promises;
but it’s another thing entirely to roll the dice on your entire country’s
solvency just to see what happens.
In 2013, the Bank of Japan launched a single QE program equal to 25% of
Japan’s GDP. This was unheard of in the history of the world. Never before
had a country spent so much money relative to its size so rapidly… and with
so little results: a few quarters of increased economic growth while
household spending collapsed and misery rose alongside inflation.
This was the beginning of the end. Japan nearly broke its bond market
launching this program (the circuit breakers tripped multiple times in that
first week). However it wasn’t until last month that things truly became
completely and utterly broken.
A month or so ago, China lost control of its stock market. Despite
freezing the market, banning short-selling, arresting short-sellers, and
injecting billions of Dollars per day into the
markets, China's stock market continues to implode.
Please let this sink in: a Central bank, indeed, one of the largest, most
important Central Banks, has officially "lost control."
This will not be a one-off event. With the Fed and other Central banks now
leveraged well above 50-to-1, even those entities that were backstopping an
insolvent financial system are themselves insolvent.
The Big Crisis, the one in which entire countries go bust, has
begun. It will not unfold in a matter of weeks; these sorts of things take
months to complete. But it has begun.
