Loyola, LIR from B2.

Posted by Trish (aka Trisha) Feb 15 '09, 15:48

Did you forget the letter sent to George Bush in May 2001, signed by dozens economists, including several Nobel laureates, in opposition to OECD?

Basically it covered the global economy and warned that we were in for a big fall if we adopted the tenents of OECD and how it would do nothing more than promote an underground economy and hinder the development of 2nd and 3rd status countries' economy? The letter was a huge deal at the time, but funnily enough they didn't feel the need to take out a huge ad in the NYT to incite fear.

And lookey here, I found it with the easiet google ever: economists + letter + George Bush. Oh and if you google that, he had several more letters from the same group warning of the housing bubble, a recesion, etc. (www.freedomandprosperity.org)

Also, you seem to have forgotten about the very famous letter dated October 4, 2004. - Trish Feb 15, 16:15 3
- I replied to you above and I don't doubt that Nobel laureates were signees of that letter, just as Nobel laureates were signees of the letter I posted - Loyola Feb 15, 16:31 2
  - Well, all-righty then. - Trish Feb 15, 16:55 1
    - Quite how you surmise that I'm "unwilling to place any blame where it truly belongs" from my statement that "I blame all politicians" is beyond me, - Loyola Feb 15, 17:07
