Saul Hansell asks: are telcos next to go bankrupt?
They’re definitely on the list. As I’ve pointed out for some time, the problem isn’t within industries: it’s across them.
It’s time to connect the dots. It is no coincidence that so many industries are in trouble simultaneously and so fast. The growth of the Zombieconomy is a Jupiter-sized wake-up call to today’s leaders.

The Zombie Economy
The life jacket the government threw to the private sector has become a straitjacket.
Aug 16, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 45 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
Since 2008, the federal government and the Federal Reserve have spent some $3 trillion to secure the financial system and prevent a second Great Depression. What did all this money buy us? A really expensive life jacket.

How to Survive the ‘Zombie Economy’
Published May 05, 2011

What does the threat of a zombie attack and a financial meltdown have in common? For starters, you have to act fast, remain calm and fight back. That’s the premise of the off-beat new book, “Zombie Economics: How To Slay Your Bills, Decapitate Debt, and Fight the Apocalypse of Financial Doom,” a tongue-in-cheek guide to financial survival for the type of people who like a good chuckle when they’re slogging through a crisis.
As the title suggests, Zombie Economics takes a “survival-at-all-costs” mantra to fresh heights, introducing each chapter with a breathless scene straight out of a horror flick, except the bad guy isn’t going to eat your brains — the real enemy is bankruptcy, financial predators and debt.
To put it plainly, the zombie economy is any situation that’s “attacking you,” explains 39-year-old Lisa Desjardins, who Zombie Economics REUTERS/Handoutco-authored the book with Rick Emerson.

On the Continuing Zombification of the US Economy
The Daily Reckoning|Nov. 4, 2011, 5:00 PM
We have been exploring the zombification of the US economy. Major industries — finance, health, education and defense — have been taken over by zombies, parasites whose real interest is to transfer wealth to themselves, from the part of the economy that remains productive.
As the economy becomes more zombified, the part of it dominated by these non-productive industries increases, leaving fewer resources for the productive part. And as the productive part weakens, so does the entire economy’s ability to produce real wealth, or grow its way out of debt.
