What do you think of this guy, trying to scare people with inflammatory statements like:

"An Economy On Thin Ice"

"But as things stand, it is more likely than not that it will be financial crises rather than policy foresight that will force the change."

"What I am talking about really boils down to the oldest lesson of economic policy: a strong sense of monetary and fiscal discipline." (the guy is obviously delusional)

"under the placid surface, there are disturbing trends: huge imbalances, disequilibria, risks -- call them what you will. Altogether the circumstances seem to me as dangerous and intractable as any I can remember, and I can remember quite a lot."

The old guy must be doing opium, having a bad trip. What does he know anyway? Besides, we are living in a new paradigm, and he just doesn't get it.
