Das Global Bankensystem Wankt

Global Banking System Staggers

Megan McArdle and Alex Massie both found it slightly more amusing that I do but I thought it worth sharing, if a bit too risky for New Atlanticist.

“The global banking system staggers” — I don’t get it–what’s so amusing or risky about the headline?

‘Gesukt’ would have been more accurate, I think.
