Many Are the Errors (Made By Paul Krugman)

September 20th, 2010

Finance Professor Rafghuram Rajan wrote in his book Fault Lines that the GSEs and the Fed’s low interest rates helped cause the housing bubble, so Paul Krugman “reviewed” it, trotting out his inaccurate analysis that the GSEs had little to do with it.

Rajan responsed to the review by showing why the GSEs and the Fed’s interest rates policy did contribute. Well written and well argued.
