I think it will rather be a gradual step-by-step process... Erosion and smaller crashes. Politicians are making things smoother. It would be very risky if they let it go just like that...
There is no recovery. Obvious. Crash will happen, unavoidable.
But it will be gradual...
Like...
1.euro crash
2.PIGS countries socio-economic turmoil
3.petrodollar system demise
4.US dollar crash
5.Chinese economy decline... perhaps recession even (but still a bit far away from that)
6.petrol crisis: depletion of oil
7.increase of food prices, famine
...etc.
part of these are causes, others are consequences. These and many more will eventually happen. One by one.
I don't believe in 1 single crash.
