Should we more heavily regulate the financial market?
There is still debate over what caused the current financial crisis, but the idea that adding liquidity to the market will solve the problem is flawed. The real problem was excessive speculation, resulting in far over-valued assets. This is a natural part of the business cycle, but there are ways we can limit speculative bubbles so they don't crash the entire world economy. Are there any good ideas for how we can keep bubbles under control?
Let's see, Congress lifted the line between banks and investment companies in the late 90's so no regulation there. Congress refused to regulate derivatives and other speculative investments that no one understood. Congress refused to regulate mortgage brokers who were paid more for putting people in risky mortgages even though they qualified for regular mortgages. What do you think, do we need more regulation? Regulation in any one of these areas would have decreased the impact of the crash.
