Jim Rogers Not Optimistic about the Global Economy for the next couple of years

Q: How do you assess the state of the global economy?
A: I am not optimistic about the global economy for the next couple of years. Japan is already in recession, some parts of Europe are suffering, some parts of America are suffering and that's going to get worse, in my view, because there is nothing to make the world get better.
     In America, we've had seven years since our last recession. That is unusual because in America, normally every four to seven years, throughout history, we have had an economic slowdown. So it's overdue. It doesn't have to end in seven years, but we have many excesses which have taken place in the world economy, caused by very low interest rates. And the American central bank is making many, many mistakes by having interest rates so low and by printing so much money. And then the Japanese central bank and the European Central Bank, and the British central bank, all did the same thing. So we've had an artificial situation based on printed money and huge amounts of debt. [The Federal Reserve's] balance sheet was $800 billion in 2008. Now it is nearly $5 trillion. I expect the American economy to be in recession sometime in the next year or two.
