Currency War


The worry now is Global Currency war and whether it will lead to another Great Depression. Last Monday Brazil doubled a tax on foreign investment into local government bonds, while Japan lowered its interest rate to almost zero.






Soros believed additional fiscal stimulus and not fiscal discipline is the way out of the crisis. Deficit reduction is in direct contradiction of the lessons from the 1930s Great Depression.
