David Roche, president of Independent Strategy, an economic consultancy in London, notes that throughout most of this decade "the world economy has been used to using $4 to $5 of credit for every $1 of GDP growth." Even if this "profligate use of capital is halved," Roche argues, "it still means credit expansion of 10% to 15% is needed to achieve real growth of 2% to 3%."

Both are emotional leaders for defenses that rank near the top of the league, and both have been among their respective squad’s top playmakers throughout the season. Abare leads the Bulldogs with 68 tackles and has added 3.5 sacks and four of Yale’s league-leading 19 interceptions on the year. He’ll need to make plenty of plays against a Harvard offense that leads the league in scoring. Curtis will look to have a big day against a Bulldog offense that has moved more...
