Addendum

I thought this piece from Alan Kohler neatly summarised what I wanted to say this morning - http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/European-debt-crisis-markets-stocks-Wall-Street-Fe-pd20110811-KLSS8?OpenDocument&src=sph

On "bourgeois economists", I liked this short precis from Krugman

and this punishing one on those idiots in the WSJ who keep warning about "bond vigilantes" (they have disappeared completely now, but a few months ago I was fighting a lonely battle on the FT to convince everyone how foolish talk of "inflation" was, and is)
