Taxes on speculative activity might encourage banks to focus greater attention on performing their key societal role of providing credit.

Although their households have suffered to some extent from the fall in equity prices, they not only can continue to grow, but they can also increase their internal demand to offset the decline in exports to the US.

Such insurance already exists on a small scale in the form of credit insurance against unemployment.

Faced with credit losses, a central bank can either dig its way out through inflation or await recapitalization by taxpayers.

So far, the strategy of maintaining banking systems on feeding tubes of taxpayer guaranteed short term credit has made sense.

Debtor governments should call upon their own taxpayers to fund some of the national debt in order to avoid higher interest rates in credit markets.

In fact, the ideological bias of Europeans against CDS might be beneficial in the long term for the development of a better market for CDS, and for derivatives in general.

While domestic credit booms may be a threat in the future, emerging market banks have mostly remained immune from the fallout of the financial crisis.
