Just ten years ago, central bankers could hardly do anything wrong. The major crises were considered overcome - central bank chief Ben Bernanke even spoke in 2004 about the end of great economic crises. Just four years later, the global economy plunged into the most severe crisis in decades. Since then, the major central banks have been operating in a constant rescue mode. Markets are drowning in oceans of liquidity, yet there are no historical or proven models that could help in this exceptional situation.

It is likely that the path the global economy is currently on may soon come to an end - perhaps even quite suddenly. So how do states, companies, and individuals navigate through this ongoing state?.
