The problem that's the reason for the dark days ahead is the balance of payments. The difference between exports and imports.
Most of the Western countries import far more than they export. Even including financial services the gap was to large. When the financial collapse happened the problem became clear to see.
The system was underpinned with loans and a Bond market. Which means the people who hold the loans and Bonds control the system. Which is why I THINK that politicians say that there should be no move to balance imports and exports. If they do that the Chines and others will call in the loans.
