Thanks for the Manna

by Steve Keen on July 30th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Posted In: Debtwatch

Chris Joye comments in his release of the recent RP Data-Rismark index that the news of a 0.7% fall in one month will be “manna from heaven for the housing market bears”. Far be it from me to disappoint him, so thanks for the manna. But what adds spice to the manna is the …

Naked Capitalism and My Scary Minsky Model

Posted In: Debtwatch

I met with Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism on the weekend, at a superb Japanese restaurant that only New York locals could find (and I’ll keep its location quiet for their benefit–too much publicity could spoil a spectacular thing).
