I’m still waiting for a Stephen Kirchner forecast to come true.

Stiglitz in April 2008: “The US recession will be long and deep”
Kirchner in April 2008: “The US recession that isn’t”

Well mate, its long and deep, and its still going.  Oh no, don’t tell me, there wouldn’t have been a recession if there wasn’t any government interference!

Stiglitz has actually been very critical of the US government response and I agree with many of his criticisms.  Where Stiglitz goes wrong is assuming that this is just a bug rather than an inescapable feature of government intervention.

For the record, US GDP expanded in Q2 2008.

Don Harding has a good op-ed piece in today’s Oz on forecasting.
