That black guy was so full of s***. 'Lack of external demand is a recipe for slow growth' is the dumbest thing Ive heard in my life. So u cant find people that want Mercedes, Audis, or Bmw's? BS. Exporting high quality goods is the key to economic growth.

Lead , meaning suicide?

Lenore Hawkins telling like it is as usual. I think China will be just fine though.

Please call it a migrant crisis and not a refugee crisis. 30% of them are refugees according to the EUs own numbers and they want to absorb them all! So a full 70% or greater are migrants. There for work and not for safety (and most of the refugees are male, which is highly suspicious youd think the demographics would reflect population dynamics

FTC fucked up the staples/office depot situation big time...

I predict Amazon will be sorry if it turns out a lot like YouTube. Their sales are up IMHO because they've greatly increased their assortment, but I don't see them really affecting dept stores, Bean, Lands' End, etc, very much. There are limits to what you can sell long distance. I attribute most of Macy's problem to consumers simply blowing their wad over the holidays on goods sold at bargain basement prices. Obviously China believes if you build it, they will come. The main structural impediment to growth is the transfer of wealth to fewer and fewer as a result of asset appreciation due to money printing, but it also creates moral hazard. We need to forget about money and manage productivit; the money will follow. What's funny about the German situation is the huge number of economists c. 2009-11 who cried they were doing everything wrong, if in the end, demand and supply must equate. But it can't if the demand is artificial.

Lenore Hawkins forgot to mention that Obamacare is the main killer of small business growth
