In other words, Bernanke is now carrying out experiments based on his own theories?

in late 1999, Bernanke and his friend Gertler argued
that it is virtually impossible to identify a bubble before it
pops.


All he and Greensputon would have to have done is read a couple of boards here where the members identified the Dot Com bubble and the Real Estate/Liquidity bubbles a couple of years before they burst and profited handsomely.

The argument that what was a mistake in 1929 would be equally a mistake today seems to me insane.

EDIT: Of course I mean macroeconomic policy. There are plenty of things that would have been a mistake in 1929 and remain a mistake today. Such as marrying a boozy psychopath.
