Lazzaire faire is dead, markets have failed & Glass Seagall is in part why. Creating or saving 2.5 million jobs, by 2011, when 5 million more will be lost, in the same time frame is the wrong train. The macro SOLUTION is a "supply side" NEW Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI based on the NEW economic paradigm model, the "Integration of Labor(sm)" as it's the ONLY game in town; since it tells us where we're going why & how. Namely a 45/50 trillion GDP; investment 5 trillion. Tky, YYBA

I like Stiglitz - love his book. However, his ideals then are now dated in these desperate, and more globalized, times.I'd really like to hear a recent solution and summary from him regarding our current economic situation.

Difúndelo, así obligaremos a los Candidatos de los Estados Unidos, incluso de Europa eleminen los CDS, y se establesca un EURIBOR diferente para los créditos hipotecarios por compra de casas, ya que el problema es sólo cliente vs banco. Solo los ciudadanos comunes unidos podemos conseguir el cambio honesto. Y si no obtenemos el cambio ahora, mañana VOLVERA A SUCEDER, ya van 4 veces y nadie se da cuenta de esta rutina de robo.

According to a poll of economists by The Economist magazine, more economists support Obama than McCain.

I actually have an economics back ground. The chicago school of thought is the most conservative school of economists out there, they think the markets are the best solution for everything. Meaning Obama's chance of gaining there support, or anyone in favor of government intervention is about next to impossible. Stiglitz for anyone whose read him, a nobel prize winner, former chief econo of wto, believes markets can fail. So somewhat opposing schools of thought here.

Today I read that 100's of economists including 5 nobel laureates and a large part of the University of Chicago School of Economics told why they believe that Obama's economics policies would be bad for our economy. And the preeminent Chicago School is Obama's neighbor.
