| The nomination of Ben Bernanke as the successor to Allen Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board is discussed by MIT Professor and Nobel Laureate Robert Solow, Greg IP, and others, along with host Tom Ashbrook.
Allen Greenspan, Chair of The Fed for 18 years, has been referred to as 'The Sphinx' and has been quoted as saying, "If I have made myself clear, I have misspoken." So how will Mr. Bernanke be different? And should the chair opine on non-monetary issues?
What is 'inflation targeting'? Energy prices are increasing; is that inflationary? Does The Fed control energy prices? What does The Fed control?
Bubbles? Is there a housing bubble? Or an energy bubble?

The Middle of Nowhere
This American Life, 12/5/03: Episode 253
Stories from far away, hard-to-get-to places, where all rules are off, and nefarious things happen because no one's looking, and there's no one to appeal to.
|
A tale of economic development and misadventures. On the island, there is an hotel and a cab. Bird guano composting beneath a tropical forest becomes phosphate in about a thousand or million years. The economic boom driven by the demand for phosphate has 'hidden' costs. The story goes on from there...
What is the difference between GDP and NDP? Is there such a thing as the national balance sheet?

- John Kenneth Galbraith
- On Point, Monday, March 11, 2002
"His theories attacked the basic assumptions of economics, including the assumption that markets allowed firms to compete equally."
|
An abiding liberal who did not shy away from that label, criticises the deference paid to misbehaving corporations including the success story that was Enron by proponents of the free enterprize system where nothing is free.
Coiner of the phrase, 'conventional wisdom' brought unconventional insight to economic analysis.
Prof. Galbraith passed away in April of 2006 at the age of 97 and will be missed.
