Top ten reasons you know China has a financial bubble on its hands
Edward Chancellor, author of the seminal book on financial speculation and manias ``Devil Take The Hindmost,'' is now turning his eyes to China. He sees a number of red flags which point to excess in China...The trouble is that China today exhibits many of the characteristics of great speculative manias. The aim of this paper is to describe the common features of some of the great historical bubbles and outline China's current vulnerability...Is China in a bubble blow-off top like Japan post-Plaza accord? I say yes. I believe anyone who thinks this will not end badly is in for a rude awakening.
