Re: Stiglitz: the 'mess' left by Greenspan (4.00 / 2)

To me it's more like information known but being released slowly so as to achieve a certain effect, and I'm not quite sure what that overall effect is yet.

...I'm not quite sure what that overall effect is yet.

You mean that "Scum also rises" effect, or the crotch rot on the society effect or the Theft of the Commons effect or the "I've got all the money so your inflation/stagflation problem won't effect me" effect?

So many effects, so little left on the shelf to choose from.

The one effect that is getting more and more commented upon by friends who I write with is how effective the Bushites have been in driving us all into apathetic 'nothing but writing in blogs' effect.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

One guess is that they don't the shi$#@ to hit the fan so fast it wakes everyone up.
