Western housing markets: The 2015 big collapse… begins from 2012
Three trends are now converging, enabling to anticipate a collapse in property prices (of at least 30%) in 2015 in most Western markets which have risen sharply in the last ten years:
. The first trend is demographic, and therefore inescapable in such a short term: the retirement of the core of the baby boomers.
. The second is tied to changing interest rates in most Western countries which, as a result of the Western solvency crisis and the failure of the policy of liquidity injections, will rise sharply.
. The third is related to the inability, for lack of available public funds, of Western states to counteract the two previous trends.

Executive summary - What agenda for a Euro-BRICS summit by 2015?
Barely four or five years ago, the Europeans were only holding bilateral discussions with each of the BRICS, and generally did so unilaterally laying down the limits of the debate even imposing the subject matter, at least on large global issues (global governance, climate, trade, economics, finance, ...). Today, after three years of crisis that has left the West in tatters and plunged Europe into a serious crisis, whilst the BRICS are stepping out economically, a discussion with all five BRICS requires from the Europeans humbleness openness, an ability to listen and, consequently, discovery.
