Neil, is it possible to provide similar update graphs for the US?
Neil,
Have you read this Bank of England speech?
It takes a Steve Keen-style approach to analysing the financial crisis and the subsequent stagnation in the UK.
Martin Wolf links to it here:

There is some pushback to Steve's ideas. The usual 'private debt:GDP rose but so did private assets:GDP' nonsense. But also an argument that UK private non-financial debt:GDP is not so high that it must come down. What's your view?
