Jim Rogers : People don’t like austerity, nobody does. But unfortunately, the world has to face reality. Concerns developed around Europe are going to continue. One needs to adjust to the fact that all these countries are bankrupt and they have been spending money they don’t have. The situation is going to get worse. Unless someone solves this…this is not good for the world. We are going to have huge problems in the next 2-3 years in the West and they may spill into Asia. - in NDTV interview 08 May 2012
