Will Federal Money Cause the Next Crisis? – Peter Hartcher

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/04/15/Peter_Hartcher_Whos_to_Blame_for_the_Financial_Crisis

Journalist Peter Hartcher compares the current actions of central banks to those of Alan Greenspan after the last financial crisis. He warns that “excess money always leads to some nasty pernicious event.”

—–

According to Peter Hartcher, from 1996 on, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Board from 1987 till 2006, knew that equity markets were overheated and should have taken concerted action to cool them. In fact, Greenspan gave one speech in December 1996 questioning the “irrational exuberance” of investors but never followed up to pop the bubble.

By 1999, Greenspan had become an out-and-out cheerleader of the so-called New Economy, in which labor productivity was rising so quickly that inflationary pressures were of minimal concern. As the steward of America’s financial markets, he should have known better, Hartcher argues, but in the face of jawboning from both Congress and the White House, Greenspan buckled under and took the easy way out. – Sydney Institute

Peter Hartcher is an Australian journalist and the Political and International Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. He is also Chair Editor of The Diplomat, an Australian foreign affairs journal, and a visiting fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Politics in Sydney.

Dalian 2007 – The Outlook for China’s Capital Markets

http://www.weforum.org/dalian 06.09.2007
Plenary Session in Parallel
The Outlook for China’s Capital Markets
China’s capital markets rocketed up 183% in 2006, and this impressive growth has continued in 2007. Many suggest this heralds the start of a new golden age of capital markets as national heavyweights, such as ICBC and China Life, return to the domestic exchanges. Others, including government officials, have expressed their concern that public enthusiasm is creating a bubble.
1) What is the outlook for China’s capital markets? Where are the greatest opportunities and risks?
2) What role do foreign investors play in the growth of China’s capital markets?
3) How will China’s stock exchanges continue to attract top companies to list domestically? What are the implications for foreign stock exchanges?
