Well, no, it's not saying a whole lot, and the problem is, since we're all tied together, one starts to go, many others will go, until the entire world is basically caught up in it. Mutually assured economic destruction. Except, instead of going the harder, longer, but more economically sure route, we (meaning governments, institutions and individuals) all decided to go the debt route, which I'm sure has its own power and agenda behind it, so now we're all stupidly indebted to one another while someone's getting rich on borrowed time. It's just great. :/
