Economic Growth And Private Sector Debt Levels: Lessons (Not Yet?) Learned — Investment Cycle Engine, Inc

• High private sector debt/GDP ratios will continue to hamper US economic growth.
• Mainstream macroeconomic models by design ignore the financial cycle and do not provide any insights about the financial cycle.
• Macroeconomic models should have macroeconomic foundations and incorporate financial stability considerations.

However, I understand the scope of posts at blogs is limited, so he had to make choices, and overall the post is well done the way he sets it up.
