I see it as the population boom has fueled a debt boom. There are huge problems in the near future like a reduction in cheap money. It's going to happen sooner or later unless the cheap money is put into something useful like infrastructure development or alleviating poverty in 3rd world countries.
Right now it is all going to sky high asset prices.
Could very well be, @numpypython. Thing is, the solutions available don't generate profits (especially for the ruling financial sector). Therefore, it's the system that has got to go, for it's inherently flawed when it comes to the welfare of large populations.
