Financial markets and most credible polls are not taking the possibility of a Trump win seriously. Donald Trump has been critical of the central bank, saying 'going back to gold' would be hard, but wonderful. The outsider solutions being proposed by Trump and his team are undeniably radical, threatening major changes in the conventional way of doing things. To a disenchanted electorate, such radical solutions may sound good, and who knows, maybe, like disturbing the roots of lilac or wisteria as gardeners do to make them bloom, they will work. By precipitating such a crisis with untried radical reforms, a victorious Trump could be the catalyst for even greater change.
