Paying for Europe's wishful thinking
It is one of the most used phrases in the eurozone crisis: Buying time. The measures taken by European politicians over the past two years have obviously not solved the problems. Instead, they provided temporary relief – sometimes for a few weeks, sometimes only for a couple of days. They literally ‘bought time’. [...]

Taking taxpayers for a ride
KPMG has published its Global Auto Executive Survey for 2012, in which executives from the world’s leading car manufacturers were asked about the situation of their industry. One of their key concerns was global overcapacity, estimated at somewhere between 20% and 30%.

Outlook for house prices in 2012
Economist Steven Keen is at it again. This time he’s predicting house prices will drop 5 to 10 percent in 2012. Is he right?

Australia’s economy is the envy of the world. No country has weathered the financial storms of the past few years as well as Australia. In global economic terms, down under is very much on top. Such statements have become standard ingredients in ministerial speeches about Australia’s recent economic performance. To a degree, they are true. And yet ordinary Australians may well ask themselves why they cannot see the benefits of this apparent miracle economy.

A wild forecast for Euro pain
Revisiting my predictions for Europe in 2011; I can today declare without any false modesty that I was right on the money. Not only that 2011 has been very much like 2010. It is also emerging that we will celebrate Christmas on December 25 this year – just as I had forecast last December.

Having thus established myself as a trustworthy futurologist, it is time to dust off the crystal ball so I can give you an exclusive preview of 2012. I hope you are seated with your seatbelts fastened. It’s promising to be a bumpy ride. [...]
