Without a gold standard (fiat currency), the higher the debt the more profit can be made until the tipping point is reached. We have not reached a tipping point yet.

Do you have a graph to include the 1900 - 1950 post WWII era?
I'd have a sneaking suspicion (if what current graph is showing what I think it is) that if that era were included it would show the 1951-1980 era could also (at the time) been considered a bubble that popped in 1977. A bubble that got bigger and started loosing lift in 2002.
Something else that is not clear (to me a non-professional) What does the "Financial Profits per GDP" include? Is it refering to the profits of the financial sector only or is it including all sectors?
Now I'm really confused. :?
