Stiglitz NEW YORK – The world has not been kind to neo-liberalism, that grab-bag of ideas based on the fundamentalist notion that markets are self-correcting, allocate resources efficiently, and serve the public interest well. It was this market fundamentalism that underlay Thatcherism, Reaganomics, and the so-called “Washington Consensus” in favor of privatization, liberalization, and [...] Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:52:03 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Joseph+Stiglitz?rinfoid=68934279 2008-08-25T15:52:03Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Joseph+Stiglitz?rinfoid=68660940 14 Nobel Prize-winning economists say ``There will be a global recession'' By Simon Kennedy Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Nobel Prize-winning economists including Myron Scholes and Joseph Stiglitz predicted the credit squeeze will inflict more pain on global growth and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. projected half of the world economy faces recession. ``There will be a global recession,'' Scholes said in an interview today at a conference in Lindau, Germany, featuring 14 Nobel laureates in economics. Stiglitz forecast the world economy would continue to perform below its potential for some time, resulting in a ``social loss'' through weaker employment. A year since the U.S. housing slump sparked about $500 billion in credit-market losses for banks globally, the world's largest economies are all stumbling as rising borrowing costs combine with record commodity prices to sap growth. The U.S., Japan, the 15-nation euro area and the U.K. are ``either in recession or face significant recession risks in the months ahead,'' Goldman's London-based international economist Binit Patel said in a report to clients today, noting such nations account for half of the world economy. The ``worst is yet to come,'' said Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong today. Bank Collapses Lone Star Funds, the Dallas-based private equity firm, today agreed to buy IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG after the German bank was felled by the subprime mortgage crisis. Bear Stearns Cos., the fifth-largest U.S. securities firm, has already collapsed, while the bonds of regional banks such as National City Corp. and Keycorp are under pressure on expectations of more fallout. ``The financial sector needs to shrink,'' said Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, in an interview in Singapore yesterday. ``I don't think simply having a couple of medium- sized banks and a couple of small banks going under is going to do the job.'' Rogoff also said ```the worst is yet to come in the U.S.'' The U.S. index of leading economic indicators declined in July, suggesting the slowdown will deepen in the second half of the year, and Europe's manufacturing and service industries contracted for a third month in August, data released today showed. U.S. Outlook The outlook for the U.S. economy will prove a hot topic when central bankers and economists gather tomorrow for the annual Federal Reserve conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. ``The economy has really shown one sign after another of weakening,'' Harvard University Professor Martin Feldstein said in an interview in Jackson Hole today. Citigroup Inc. economist Steven Wieting said in a report today that every U.S. downturn of the last six decades has been linked with a global slump. Economists at UBS AG led by Larry Hatheway this week cut their forecast for global growth next year to 2.9 percent from 3.1 percent, close to the 2.5 percent deemed a world recession.

Stiglitz says that the greatest impact is that we Americans buy oil on the international market, and we use dollars - weak dollars - to do it. That means that if our dollar only buys half as much as it did before, then we have to pay a lot more to get the same amount of oil at the same price. So the weak dollar isn't just forcing me to avoid $8 pints of Ben & Jerry's in Paris, it's raising the price you pay for gas at the pump. It's also raising the price you pay for almost everything you buy at Target and in everything other store that has goods made in China, or anywhere else abroad. Check out how many things are made in China, the next time you go the store. Once you realize that probably 90% of the things you check are in fact from China, then think about the fact the store had to buy those things with dollars that were only worth half their normal value, thanks to George Bush, John McCain and the Republicans. Yes, John McCain will tell you that a weak dollar helps American exporters. Well last time I checked, nobody I knew was an American exporter. For the rest of us, for most of us, we're getting creamed by the Republican party's weak-dollar tax on practically everything we buy. (Oh, and the high price of oil is also increasing the price of every good or service you buy that in any way is dependent on gasoline to transport that good or service - that'd be pretty much everything from your plumber to the tomatoes in the store.)
