Tim Geithner’s Ninth Political Life « The Baseline Scenario

(c) 2010 F. Bruce Abel

I have always been in awe of Simon Johnson.  But here I probably would agree with this commentator.

Tim Geithner’s Ninth Political Life « The Baseline Scenario: "Mr. Johnson,
People in glass houses should not throw stones. You were utterly clueless before the crisis. Your stint in the IMF was not marked by any insightful thinking. In fact you were engaged in and encouraging of conventional wisdom and groupthink. You never anticipated any significant economic event. But after the crisis and after the fact you have been vitriolic. But we have yet to hear you articulate a coherent pexecutable strategy."
