Not much is happening.
Noone really understands how economies work - they're too complex and people are non-rational. But we can talk meaningfully about trends. The trend at the moment is that there's been 10 years of solid growth. Chinese and Indian growth, alongside low oil prices, has meant that we've got over-exuberant. That created a bubble.

The bubble has burst. Now we've swung back the other way - probably too far. This time in two years it'll all be over.
