Well the more pessimistic views are that the world economy will grow, but will settle into a permanently lower trend line, the concern is that household debt in the west is too high for consumers to ever bounce back, and since China doesn't consume enough, there is no one to pick up the slack resulting in a state where the economy grows, but the trend line is below the pre-recession trend line.
