What happens when the ECB stops financing this jig?

The European Central Bank's money printing plan is just a giant Ponzi scheme, says Bengt Saelensminde. It works so long as new money is pouring in. But what happens when it stops?

Bengt graduated from Reading University in 1994 and followed up with a master's degree in business economics.

 

He started stock market investing at the age of 13, and this eventually led to a job in the City of London in 1995. He started on a bond desk at Cantor Fitzgerald and ended up running a desk at stockbroker's Cazenove.

 

Bengt left the City in 2000 to start up his own import and beauty products business which he still runs today.
