Krugman no NYT, A Long Story , discorre sobre as possibilidades de haver recessão, à luz dos números mais recentes - segundo ele, isso será cada vez mais provável. A recessão a verificar-se, combinaria as causas das duas anteriores: estouro de uma bolha especulativa (agora, do mercado hipotecário) e um aperto no crédito; acompanharia, em princípio (e no melhor dos cenários) a evolução das outras. Neste particular, previne que as consequências negativas se estenderiam, de modo quase certo, para além do período de vida oficial imputado (8 meses no caso das anteriores) - a recuperação do mercado de trabalho, nas duas últimas recessões, chegou aos dois anos. Discute, também, as medidas tomadas e o nível previsível da sua eficácia.
Tudo isso sublinharia a importância e a responsabilidade do próximo(a) presidente. Percebe -se a mensagem que quer passar:
"But we won’t get any innovative action to help the economy unless the next president has a couple of key attributes.
But we won’t get any innovative action to help the economy unless the next president has a couple of key attributes.
First, he or she has to be free of the ideological blinders that make the current administration and its allies fiercely oppose the idea that the government can do anything positive aside from cutting taxes.
Second, he or she has to be knowledgeable about and interested in economic policy. Presidents don’t have to be their own chief economists, but they do need to know enough to take the right advice.
Will we have that kind of president? Stay tuned."
