Expect a bitter and sustained attempt by central banks and governments to maintain the illusionary and fictitous wealth created by high house prices. It seems that it is now the cornerstone of the UK economy at least. The achilles heel of the approach is that it is the private banks who must fund the illusion and ultimately carry the risk when things go belly up with the debt. If private banks are continually bailed out by central banks what will happen to inflation (and the value of the currency? There simply is no soft landing to all this.
