Mark Carney abandons Thatcher-era supply-side policy - 1 views

  •  
    This is a fairly recent article that talks about supply side policies implemented by the new head of the "Bank of England", Mark Carney. The article mainly discusses their new strides to reach unemployment rates, which heavily involves controlling inflation and interest rates. It is interesting how it talks about how Keynesian supply side policies were not effective post war era because they let inflation spiral out of control. The author believes in Mark Carney's aggressive take on the issue as it plans to control inflation, unemployment and has a contingency plan.

The Rut We Can't Get Out Of - 0 views

  •  
    The article is talking about the federal government which has shut down today because of an impasse over the budge and in two weeks, the nation is set to hit its borrowing limit.The major problem in the articles is that there is an oversupply of global labor, an oversupply of global productive capacity and an oversupply of global capital. The jobs created low wages and part time. Growth in domestic manufacturing is still slow which will prevent the development of a country in their own production and prevent the large amount of profit they will get as a result of the domestic production.Business spending has fallen, rents of the houses falling where home prices have increased. The reason why its hard to get out from the rut is because they are no longer faced with a world in which supply-side economic remedies, easy money, reduced taxation, fiscal belt-tightening and deregulation can spur new capacity and the creation of well-paying private sector jobs.Countries that were recently poor find themselves with huge surpluses and sovereign wealth funds. The rich countries of the world, while still rich, struggle with monumental levels of debt, both private and public, and unsettling questions about whether they can compete globally.Also to clear this mess,developed nations need to put the huge surplus of underemployed workers back to work by any means, including big public sector investments to improve infrastructure and competitiveness.Moreover, a new economic multilateral ism with the developing world, to encourage them to re balance their economics away from savings and toward consumption, while we in the West must curb our addiction to credit and consumption is necessary.
