Cosmic Shifts

The series of recent Japanese tragedies is unprecedented and the consequences will also be unprecedented. The re-booting and rebuilding of the Japanese economy will require, and be achieved with, breathtaking increases in money supply. The global drift towards hyper-inflation will accelerate. Right or wrong, the world’s nuclear industry has received a ten year setback. The fact that the earthquake actually caused a terrestrial shift in the location of the country by a few metres is very thought-provoking. And the noteworthy courtesy and industry, not to mention stoicism, of the Japanese people are remarkable. In time it’s hard not to see them emerging the stronger as a result of these tragedies.
