Krugman critica o plano de Obama para os bancos

“The zombie ideas have won. The Obama administration is now completely wedded to the idea that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the financial system – that what we’re facing is the equivalent of a run on an essentially sound bank. And if we get investors to understand that toxic waste is really, truly worth much more than anyone is willing to pay for it, all our problems will be solved. Or to put it another way, Treasury has decided that what we have is nothing but a confidence problem, which it proposes to cure by creating massive moral hazard”.
A fantasmagoria ideológica dos neoliberais venceu? O plano de Geithner, Secretário do Tesouro, parte da premissa de que não há nada de errado com o sistema financeiro norte-americano, apenas o equivalente a uma corrida aos bancos essencialmente saudáveis.
