The Political Economy of RMBS Intervention
I have an op-ed in today’s Age on the politics behind the government’s intervention in the market for residential mortgage-backed securities.
It was pleasing to see the Australian Financial Review take a strong editorial stance against the intervention (‘Swan Banks on a Very Bad Idea,’ AFR, 29 September 2008, p. 62). The AFR attributed the very transparent politics behind the intervention ‘to the Hollowmen school of policymaking.’

Nice article, Stephen. Also impressive that The Age published an op-ed not only from the CIS but that demands a greater level of comprehension than would be expected of a 12-year old.
