quagmire of money αδιέξοδο στο ζήτημα των χρημάτων

Explanation:
"Indeed, in nations where poverty is often an inducing factor in relinquishments, the entire question of money is a quagmire."

Χρησιμοποιείται για να περιγράψει την κατάσταση σύγχυσης και το αδιέξοδο που προκαλεί. Δεν συμπίπτει εδώ με την σημασία του ελληνικού 'τέλματος'. Μια απόδοση πιστεύω ότι είναι απλώς 'αδιέξοδο' εδώ.

'a situation from which extrication is very difficult: a quagmire of financial indebtedness.'

cf.

'2. (μτφ.) πλήρης απουσία εξέλιξης και ανανέωσης· στασιμότητα:'
