You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?

DebtWatch No 11 September 2007: Why didn’t they see it coming?

Sep02
by Steve Keen on September 2, 2007 at 10:04 pm

flattr this!

I expect–and hope–that the tenor of discussion at this month’s RBA Board meeting will be very different to last month’s. In August, I imagine, the community members of the Board listened sagely as the RBA’s economists explained why the risk of future inflation had risen, why this justified a “pre-emptive strike” of raising interest rates, and then reluctantly agreed to the rise.

“Total, total bullshit”?

Aug07
by Steve Keen on August 7, 2007 at 9:37 am

flattr this!

Oh dear. When Nassim Khadim from The Age asked me to comment yesterdy on the electoral assertion being made by the Liberal Party–that rising State debt was putting upward pressure on interest rates–I responded that the assertion was:

“Total, total bullshit. It’s like saying that somebody dropped a pebble into the ocean and that caused a tsunami. And you can quote me on that.”

Debtwatch No. 10: America’s Ponzi Schemes Unravel

Aug05
by Steve Keen on August 5, 2007 at 11:52 pm

flattr this!

Named in mock honour of America’s greatest swindler, a Ponzi Scheme is a financial ruse that, for a time,  generates apparently great returns from an investment that in fact produces nothing. Ponzi Schemes initially appear to work because the promoters pay early entrants seemingly fantastic returns, by the simple expedient of giving them money deposited by later entrants. So long as the Scheme continues to grow, it can appear successful–and indeed individuals who get in and out before the Scheme collapses can become fabulously wealthy.
