Follow the Money

“Follow the Money” was created by graduate students Christian Thiemann and Daniel Grady at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University to help demonstrate their research under Professor Dirk Brockmann in human mobility networks. It won the 2009 Visualization Challenge sponsored by NSF and the AAAS.

You're comparing apples and oranges. The appropriate measure is debt as a percentage of GDP, not total debt. If you make a million dollars per year and have $1000 in outstanding debt, and I make $1000 dollars per year but have $100 in debt, who's worse off? I am, since my debt ratio is 10% while yours is .1%.

US debt as a percentage of GDP is lower than many countries, including several in Europe. Even your home country has significant debt, although less than the US.

When you export 100t of wood, but then you import 200t, then clearly you are not an exporter of wood, on a net basis. yes, I do accuse every welfare program as socialist, but that hardly makes me a racist now does it? The Swiss AML measures are more strict than in any other country. You can hide crime money more easily in Nevada trusts than in Swiss bank accounts.

yes Keynes believed (wrongly) that consumption - driven by gov spending, welfare, low interest rates, whatever - creates prosperity. in reality, production (and net exporting) creates wealth. not only does this make sense in terms of deductive logic, it is also obvious many examples, e.g. US and China: China produces, US consumes (on credit). as to exports, the US really does net-import most goods (on a net basis), except for aeroplanes, wood, corn and some other categories.

1. Nothing wrong with Arab world, in this regard. 2. The real Swiss private bankers do not have MBAs, they have been raised by the banks themselves. 3. Keynesianism is the central planning of the overall economic course by manipulating money and interest - an interventionist-socialist redistribution policy. And it is not new at all, it has been causing numerous busts. 4. I propose you look at net exports (after deducting imports) by category.

I agree that Europe is facing monetary trouble, and for partly different reasons than the US does. The US problem is that at this time, the world uses none of their products (except for airplanes, movies, corn). China makes everything. An inordinate number of Harvard graduates are selling each other insurance policies, which increases the misleading GDP figure. The Fed is monetising debt (even more so than ECB). so yeah, both worlds are "not perfect" at all, borrowing your words.
