    Seems our current economic woes result largely from oversupply

    paradoxically ..

    2016-04-25 "A Total Game Changer" - From Over-Population To De-Population

    Flip me, it's a long article though, and all those graphs look horribly intricate ...

    Conclusion

    :::

    What happens as population growth turns to population decline is honestly and literally a complete and total game changer. A flat to declining number of buyers and consumers opposite ramping elderly sellers plus their unfunded liabilities is a problem with no happy resolutions. Currencies (what will constitute "money"), "free-markets", and perhaps the basis of civilization hang in the balance of the transition from high population growth to potential outright depopulation.

    I believe this is the correct lens through which to view and understand why growth is perpetually weakening, why commodity overcapacity and slowing demand will only accelerate, why the Treasury market continues to see "buying" despite the near total absence of buyers (Treasury Mystery), why equities are a "buy" (but for all the wrong reasons), and why precious metal valuations are so extremely suspect in the face of a monetary onslaught.
    Must admit, I had the impression that population growth was still steaming ahead unchecked in certain already grossly overpopulated countries such as some in Africa, and of course India.

    Great find!

    An economic and financial system premised on perpetual growth was bound to run into trouble.

    Indeed.

    Maybe instead of tracking GDP, now GDP/head of population will be tracked?

    Japan seems to be the case study. Are Japanese citizens really worse off? They still seem to have enough money to buy "used schoolgirl underwear"(which is probably new ones rubbed on prawns) so is life that difficult?
