They are running out of options.
It's probably impossible for a major economy to print and hyper-inflate their debt away (whilst destroying the life savings of their population) because global currency markets and vulture speculators will swoop immediately on any such attempts.
The global option of abandoning dollars and Euros and creating a new reserve currency such as IMF SDRs may be tried. I suspect it would end in anarchy and massive social dislocation.
So, They can do what They have continuously done for the past few decades, and attempt to create an asset bubble - as with the entirely fraudulent and phoney valuations of the dotcoms and houses.
So, what asset classes are there left?
Such an asset ideally would have global and universal reach. And be of concern to the vast majority of ordinary folk.
Um.. Mmmm...
Uh....
Oh yeah, baby!
It's a Eureka moment!
Howzabout securitizing....
DEATH!!!!!
