Can someone please show me an example of when un-regulated financial markets actually worked?

Can government policies that increase the monopoly power of firms and the militancy of unions increase output? . . . these policies are expansionary when certain "emergency" conditions apply. These emergency conditions - zero interest rates and deflation - were satisfied during the Great Depression in the United States. Therefore, the New Deal, which facilitated monopolies and union militancy, was expansionary . . .

This conclusion is contrary to the one reached by a large previous literature, . . . that argues that the New Deal was contractionary. The main reason for this divergence is that the current model incorporates nominal frictions so that inflation expectations play a central role in the analysis. The New Deal has a strong effect on inflation expectations in the model, changing excessive deflation to modest inflation, thereby lowering real interest rates and stimulating spending.

It is amusing is a sadistic way to watch Phokus self destruct in this thread.

One positive I am sure the board is happy about. He hasnt created a troll thread since he went into a tail spin in this one. His bb sized brain has all it can do to display its ignorance in this thread, much less create a new one.

You don't seem to get it, Phokus. Popularity contest or not, this is why you're perceived to be such a twit. You don't recognize that your source is merely an alternate viewpoint. It doesn't trump the original source just because of the time line, and certainly not just because YOU happen to agree with it.

If anyone is tooling about with a purported "end-all be-all" argument, it's you; except you don't have one. All you have is an opposed view, just like I do. That's it.

Jbourne, you need to end every post with "I win"

Get it right loser!!!!

And this is why you're retarded. I wasn't implying my source was right and yours was wrong. Notice how i bolded a couple of words in your quote. I was pointing, for the millionth time, how you thought YOUR link was the 'informed' and 'learned' position and presented it as the authoritative position yet you didn't know the existence of other economists who produced papers which concluded otherwise.

And besides that, i thought your previous page was your 'ending'. Man, your self ownage is just embarrassing to watch.

This thread should be locked now, I think. Egos are running too high.

You "don't give a fvck" but you won't stop posting, will you? You seem pretty obsessed for someone who pretends not to care. And that's why it's called pretending.

I don't give a damn if the retarded right spews insults at me. How does that conflict with me enjoying destroying you guys with facts and logic? God damn you guys are dumb.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone, i just enjoy demolishing you.

You don't know economics outside your own world view

Your debating and rhetorical skills are lacking (seriously, ad hominem, appeal to authority and appeal to popularity is all you have at this point)

You don't even have basic reading comprehension (as referenced above).

Believe me, this is all for me. I'm enjoying every minute of it.

So much for 'the end', huh jbourne? I own your soul.

I'm guessing Daddy didn't love you enough, and now you're seeking the approval of anonymous men on the internet. That would also explain your Rush fascination - he's just an embodiment of your quest for a male authority figure in your life. Kinda sad, really.

It would be disappointing, given your effort to prove yourself to some mystery person, if you weren't enjoying it. :beer:
