Hi Zythryn,

The rate 'bubbles' have been developing in the new millennia is a real cause of concern. While this bubble may be benign the increasing rate of bubbles is most definitely not (an indication of too much money and not enough good investments?).

By reducing interest rates the Reserve risks creating another credit bubble in response to the housing bubble.

It would be much easier for everybody if the politicians actually regulated blatant speculation and prevented these bubbles before they could harm anybody. Unfortunately, if they were responsible, they wouldn't be able to claim economic expansion.

Unfortunately it looks a bit like a Curates Egg.

The expression "a curate's egg" originally meant something that is partly good and partly bad, but as a result is entirely spoilt.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
