"How can I know what I think until I read what I write?" – Henry James


There are a few lone voices willing to utter heresy. I am an avid follower of Ilusion Monetaria, a blog by ex-Bank of Spain economist (and monetarist) Miguel Navascues here.
Dr Navascues calls a spade a spade. He exhorts Spain to break free of EMU oppression immediately. (Ambrose Evans-Pritchard)

Coherencia

Las bolsas han empezando cayendo a plomo, como ven en la imagen. Pierden entre un 2% y un 4%. La bolsa española tb, aunque no sale en la imagen. Cae un 3% mientras el bono a 10 años supera en 3,5% al alemán.


Añado, de la fuente Aphaville, las caídas de las acciones bancarias: (miren la columna de %)
Una gran piñada en The Austrians, the Belgians, the Germans — and the French.
Les pongo un post de Alphaville, de cómo están presionando los economistas británicos, junto a su ministro de finanzas, para dejar al BdI expandir la oferta monetaria aunque sea comprando títulos no oficiales. Curioso país. Por lo menos reman todos en la misma dirección. Están consolidando deuda, a la vez que no hacen ascos -todo lo contrario- a expandir la oferta monetaria. Coherencia, virtud desconocida en el continente.

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/thecut/2011/09/12/b5876/6amcut/ George Osborne has opened the door to new forms of quantitative easing by the Bank of England as concerns mount in the Treasury over the state of the economy, the FT says. Any move to a second round of QE would require Treasury approval. Mr Osborne gave every indication he would give his assent, even for purchases of assets other than gilts. The chancellor made it clear he saw no barriers to a second round of quantitative easing – creating money to pump into the economy – if a request came from the Bank, and raised no objections to the possibility of the Bank extending its purchases to assets other than gilts.  Adam Posen, an external member of the Bank’s monetary policy committee, now believes his year-long call for more QE has been fully vindicated. In a speech on Tuesday, he is expected to push the Bank to go further and buy not only gilts but other, more risky, assets. Economists have increasingly fallen in behind Mr Posen in recent weeks, urging the Bank to restart QE in the wake of weakening economic data, financial market turbulence and the eurozone sovereign debt crisis.
Mientras, Atenas se asfixia: no pagará sueldos ni pensiones durante un periodo indeterminado, si no recibe pronto 8 mm del primer rescate, retenidos por incumplimiento de objetivos. Las letras a un año al 90% de interés, luego no es cuestión de endeudarse un poquito.
