Re: When has Greenspan eased when he said he would tighten?

Greenspan has said "tighten bias" for more than a year. But if checked the money supply, it said otherwise. Price stability is determined by money supply. Interest rate is only one of many methods to change money supply.

Re: Why should he ease to save Asia?

Absolutely should not. But ease to keep American economy smooth sailing? You bet.

Re: Shouldn't time be spent on trying to figure out why it keeps sailing away?

Yes. Here is my list: 1) competitive company 2) productive workforce 3)a lean government(comparing with other developed economy) 4)a sensible central bank etc...

Re:Money flows(supply?) and inflation will be the key, and will be bring eventual disaster.

Agree. But I will not exclude overcapacity and deflation possibilities. I saw somewhere that investment increases 30% annually while consumer sales only at 3%. How long will this continue?
