你永远不会独行

一百二十二位经济学家联名反对美国救市

虽然这些学者可能都是学术领域内的巨擎,但是如果只是钻在学府里的"象牙塔"里引经据典,"默首成规"的话,很可能就无法做到"与时俱进"了…（笑）

用中国的成语来说,如果美国政府出面救市,不对投行的"投机"(金融风暴之前可以说成是投资,但是事实证明,还是投机)行为加以制约的话,无疑就是"饮鸩止渴",其实从资本的角度来说,投机行为在市场经济下是无法杜绝的,无非是博大还是博小的区别.

如果对于市场的干预程度过于严重的话,又对众多信奉"新自由主义"的经济学家是当头棒喝.其实"新自由主义"前些年在我们国家的经济和金融领域也出现过,甚至一度把持了国家宏观政策的走向.

在市场经济和计划经济之间,其实很早就有学者提出了第三种形态,也就是混合经济.现在如果再回头揣摩一下邓公早年的"市场多一点还是计划多一点根本不是否定一种制度的依据."(大概意思吧)是多么"高瞻远瞩,高屋建瓴".

现在应该是由美帝出面救市的,等到金融危机演变成经济危机,估计就是想救都来不及了…苦了美帝,苦了中国,苦了全世界,这些学者们还是照样天天晚上钻暖被窝儿…

其实归根结底,还是一个成本问题.

To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate:

As economists, we want to express to Congress our great concern for the plan proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson to deal with the financial crisis. We are well aware of the difficulty of the current financial situation and we agree with the need for bold action to ensure that the financial system continues to function. We see three fatal pitfalls in the currently proposed plan:

1) Its fairness. The plan is a subsidy to investors at taxpayers’ expense. Investors who took risks to earn profits must also bear the losses.  Not every business failure carries systemic risk. The government can ensure a well-functioning financial industry, able to make new loans to creditworthy borrowers, without bailing out particular investors and institutions whose choices proved unwise.

2) Its ambiguity. Neither the mission of the new agency nor its oversight are clear. If  taxpayers are to buy illiquid and opaque assets from troubled sellers, the terms, occasions, and methods of such purchases must be crystal clear ahead of time and carefully monitored afterwards.

3) Its long-term effects.  If the plan is enacted, its effects will be with us for a generation. For all their recent troubles, America's dynamic and innovative private capital markets have brought the nation unparalleled prosperity.  Fundamentally weakening those markets in order to calm short-run disruptions is desperately short-sighted.

For these reasons we ask Congress not to rush, to hold appropriate hearings, and to carefully consider the right course of action, and to wisely determine the future of the financial industry and the U.S. economy for years to come.
