I can see how dysfunctional the US economy is. The St. Louis Fed publishes tens of thousands of data series for me to look at.<br /><br />I don't have a good grasp of just how dysfunctional other economies are though. I mostly just suspect that they are and the entire global economy is a mess. I'd hate to jump out of the frying pan only to find myself in the fire.<br /><br />Known evil.
