GLOBAL DOWNTURN

They say a picture paints a thousand words. Sometimes charts do too. Look at this one from The Economist ten days ago. Consistent global economic growth at 4% for years, then suddenly …
I wonder how quickly we’ll be back to 4% growth and what shape this graph will look like in two years’ time.

OK. This is the biggest contraction in global GDP since 1962... but this time it co-incides with the lowest public confidence (18%) in banking system in the USA ever!

Why is nobody except "Chicken Little" type commentators saying this. It needs addressing if it is to be fixed.
