🚨 Can we visualise 140yrs of banking crises on an animated world map? Yes! Should we have invested quite so much time doing so? 🤫 www.ft.com/content/bcc9...
A world map showing a snapshot of banking crises and recapitalisations paused at 1931. Green circles signify banking crises, blue circles private sector recapitalisations, red circle government recapitalisations. Lots of circles.

Very sorry to hear about this. Shortly after I finished reading his brilliant three-volume biography of Keynes, perhaps 15 years ago, I met him at a conference in Brazil. We became friends after that and met several times, mostly in London but also in Beijing. www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...

no, it did not. the so-called 'Golden Cross' is by definition a lagging indicator of 2 moving averages of the stock price, and possesses no predictive power. the fact that the underlying stock price went up was a function of fundamental micro and macro factors, and nothing else. fixed it for you:

$1 spent on health care is not just $1 of benefits delivered. It’s also $1 of income to an industry that is labor intensive and leveraged. This is going to have significant impacts on employment and aggregate output.
