In my column in Crikey yesterday (see below) I promised to provide some “back of the envelope” calculations on why the Paulson plan can’t work. It’s not my usual standard or style of analysis–just a simple text-only flowchart mapping out of the possible consequences of a US$2 trillion bailout, financed by either bond issues or […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve had a couple of very enjoyable chats this week with Red Symons, on the ABC Breakfast Show in Melbourne, and some friends have been trying to get me to throw some old Skyhooks song lines into the conversation–such as “Horror Movie” and the like (for any non-Australian and/or non-”Living in the Seventies” readers, Red […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I published this commentary on Crikey and in the Newcastle Herald yesterday; I will probably expand on this for my October Debtwatch Report, but here’s a “heads up” before next month–after all, with the speed with which events are unfolding, something else might supplant this topic by then. Welcome aboard the FF Titanic Another day, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t have time to write a full blog on this myself, but here are some of the best commentaries to explain what’s going on that I’ve seen recently.

The podcasts should now be functional. The problem was simple but obscure: my server runs Linux, which is case sensitive, and the file names were all in lowercase, but specified with initial capitals in the XML and HTML files. I’ve successfully downloaded and played them from the HTML. I would appreciate someone trying the subcribe/iTunes […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
George negus is interviewing me and Peter Schiff on Dateline tonight. The topic is the attempted rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and what that may mean for the global economy and Australia in particular. Dateline goes to air tonight (Wednesday) at 8.30pm. It is also accessible on the web, the day after the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well Stu Cameron has been on the ball, but clearly I’ve stuffed up linking the files on my site! Several readers have told me that the podcasts 3-6 can’t be accessed. At some stage they will be available, but I have a rush of work on right now so please wait until I put up […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Late last year on SBS News, when Stan Grant asked me which way the RBA would move rates in 2008, I replied “Up, and then down”, Stan quipped “Spoken like a true economist–an even handed answer!”–to which I replied “More down than up”.
