Slitting each other's throats in the breadlines......
Which brings us to the emerging markets' of the world...They rise faster and fall further, but how will the fainter voices at the diplomatic table cope with the shortage of resources and common sense? In Egypt, men are slitting each other's throats in the breadlines. To the northwest, in the UK and scattered hotspots around Europe, truckers block the main roads, protesting the soaring price of oil.
Everywhere we look we see too many after too few; a surplus of mouths battling over a shortfall of rice; a cavalcade of vehicles jostling for a place at the pump; a glut of greenbacks bubble-hopping in search of too few stores of true value. What does this spell for the markets and, on a much larger scale, for the human beings that participate in them? Bill Bonner offers some thoughts on one bubble that has been inflating at a frightening rate for quite some time.
