Former Morgan Stanley Chief Asia Economist: "Don't Listen To The Ruling Elite..."

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Andy Xie says the world's elite that are attending the G7, G20, Davos and other wasteful meetings are wrong to try to pin the blame for the turmoil on people's psychology; all signs point to a prolonged period of global stagnation and instability.

Before the current G7 meetings waste of time, The G20 working group meeting in Shanghai didn't come up with any constructive proposals for reviving the global economy and, instead, complained that the recent market turmoil didn't reflect the "underlying fundamentals of the global economy". The oil price has declined by 70 per cent since June 2014, while the Brazilian real has halved, and the Russian rouble is down by 60 per cent. The global economy is on the cusp of another recession, and these important people blamed it all on some sort of psychological problem of the people.

Over the past two decades, the global economy has been blessed with the entry and participation of 800 million hard-working Chinese, plus the information revolution. The pie should have increased enough in size to make most people happier. Yet, the opposite has happened.
