...per la serie fanno parlare proprio tutti vi allego quanto dichiarato a Bloomberg dall'economista capo di HSBC Holding (teoricamente mica pizza e fichi) a proposito dell'Italia che essendo troppo grossa per essere salvata potrebbe essere "spacchettata" in realtà più piccole

By Scott Hamilton
Nov. 10 -- Italy may have to break up if the
country proves too big to be bailed out, according to Stephen
King, chief economist at HSBC Holdings Plc.
“It is presumably time to announce the dissolution of the
Italian State,” King said in a note dated yesterday, citing the
argument that banks too big to save should be broken up to
reduce the risk to taxpayers. “With yields on Italian
government debt rising above 7 percent, it wouldn’t require a
giant imaginative leap to declare that Italy was bust and/or
Italy was too big to save.”
Italian 10-year yields yesterday breached the 7 percent
level that locked Greece, Portugal and Ireland out of the
capital markets and forced them to seek aid. With debt of 1.9
trillion euros ($2.6 trillion), Italy has borrowings more than
those three countries combined, increasing the risks to the
entire 17-nation currency region.
“Perhaps we need to see the return of the Kingdom of
Piedmont-Sardinia, the Papal States and the Kingdom of the Two
Sicilies,” King said. “We have entered a ‘twilight zone,’
where bailouts are almost impossible to avoid yet seemingly
impossible to afford.”
He said the only way to stabilize the crisis is for the
European Central Bank to expand its balance sheet, “become the
lender of last resort on a much larger scale and, when required,
print money.”
