This mother, Diane Downs, shot her kids at close range, drove them to the hospital while they bled all over the car, claimed a scraggy haired stranger did it.

Despite nerve wracking ups and downs, the last 50 years delivered an unprecedented global growth dividend. Measured according to GDP (admittedly a flawed metric), the world economy expanded sixfold.

But allow me as someone who comes from the business sector and understands the nature of business, with firsthand experience in its ups and downs to offer some brief thoughts.

Itochu recognized 1.3 billion impairment losses to the investment on CITIC Limited on Friday. Write downs of this largest enterprise investment was made due to influences of tense China US trade.

In Ireland and Spain, private bondholders, not Irish and Spanish taxpayers, should have taken the hit from bank failures. In Greece, there should have been faster and larger debt write downs.

Richard Branson talks to TED's Chris Anderson about the ups and the downs of his career, from his multibillionaire success to his multiple near death experiences and reveals some of his motivations.

Popular discontent over food prices has fueled political instability in some countries, most notably in Egypt and Tunisia. Even agricultural producers would prefer some price stability over the wild ups and downs of the last five years.

The US experienced debt crises periodically during the nineteenth century, and again during the Great Depression. Its response was to offer targeted and expedited debt relief often by bringing in new temporary bankruptcy legislation that forced limited debt write downs.

The shift favors hardline creditors in bond issuances governed by US law. With emerging market growth slowing, and external debt rising, new legal interpretations that make debt future write downs and reschedulings more difficult do not augur well for global financial stability.

Above all, any realistic strategy for dealing with the eurozone crisis must involve massive write downs (forgiveness) of peripheral countries debt. These countries massive combined bank and government debt the distinction everywhere in Europe has become blurred makes rapid sustained growth a dream.

Participants agreed that there would be advantages in having further step downs after 2005 as the Multilateral Fund would need to examine the step down commitments occurring during each funding triennium and the need to assist Article 5 (1) Parties in meeting those commitments.

However, as has been repeatedly demonstrated over the past year, the progress towards peace and mutual recognition is negatively affected by the ups and downs of the fragile situation on the ground and the forces of moderation have not always prevailed over those of extremism and violence.

Debt write downs and guarantees will inevitably bloat Germany s government debt, as the authorities are forced to bail out German banks (and probably some neighboring countries banks). But the sooner the underlying reality is made transparent and becomes widely recognized, the lower the long run cost will be.

The Franco German initiative unveiled at Deauville in early November, which would require some possible measure of restructuring for debt issued after 2013, tried to avoid the immediate shock of a haircut. But the pre announcement of possible write downs still led to a major wave of uncertainty about banks.

Given policymakers reluctance to contemplate write downs, specifically of debt held by official lenders, governments have been forced to levy high taxes to service their obligations, in turn depressing investment. It would be better to give the European Stability Mechanism, the ECB, and other official holders of sovereign debt the haircuts that they deserve.

Germany would do well to remember that it has benefited from debt write downs three times in its history. The Dawes Plan of 1924 sought to stagger Germany s reparations payments for World War I. The Young Plan of 1929 reduced the sum that Germany owed in reparations and gave the country much more time to pay.

Food production has not only kept up with population growth but has managed somehow to outstrip it. There are ups and downs from year to year because of the weather, and there are pockets of starvation around the world (due not to a global lack of food, but to a lack of ways to transport it where it s needed).

In Rogoff s view, what Krugman described as a long term return to depression economics was a temporary condition, the consequence of failures to regulate properly and curb debt accumulation. This phenomenon, which he identified as the cause of the economic turbulence, inevitably ended in catastrophe, which could be resolved only through painful deleveraging and heterodox government enforced debt write downs.

Similarly, although the one size fits all monetary policy contributed to Greece s excessive indebtedness, and to Spain s real estate bubble, eurozone leaders have consistently sought to re align interest rates, for example, by compelling holders of Greek debt to accept haircuts (write downs on principal). But the impact is severely limited without external devaluation, which is impossible within a monetary union.

Even outside Europe, the IMF has long given too much credence to sitting governments, rather than focusing on the long term interests of the country and its people. The Fund is doing Europe s people no favor by failing to push aggressively for a more realistic solution, including dramatic debt write downs for peripheral eurozone countries and re allocating core country guarantees elsewhere.

After the ensuing financial thunderstorm died down, the sun would come out again very quickly. The creditor countries would have to shoulder big losses from write downs, but they would still end up with more than they would have gotten had the crisis countries remained within the eurozone, because these countries new prosperity, gained by leaving, offers the only chance of recovering any assets at all.
