In the face of a new debt crisis, the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve and the ECB cannot return to buying large amounts of sovereign debt. The central banks saved indebted governments a decade ago. They can’t do it again. But there are other means at their disposal.

A recent U.S. intelligence report claims that Vladimir Putin is “definitely sick,” received cancer treatment in April, and survived an assassination attempt in March. But this isn’t the first time such rumors have been voiced.
Compared to the American economy, Europe is slow to get through the post-pandemic recovery, but these GDP numbers show that it is actually happening—almost everywhere, that is.

In five short years, 2009-2014, the Greek economy imploded: one quarter of it vanished.
