The ecb said they will buy more than one trillion in assets. I am pleased to have Larry Summers back at the table. You were at davos, i was at davos. What was the sense about the economy and the state of the world . The theme was said to be the context. Charlie, it was something intermediate. It was not euphoric but not as dark as it was in 2009 or 2010 at the height of the financial crisis. There is a growing concern about a deflationary psychology, a sense of stagnation.
