Original Sin - Morgan Stanley Global Economic Team
www.forexrate.co.uk...
By Stephen Roach, In all my years in this business, never before have I seen...
... a central bank attempt to spin the debate as America's Federal Reserve has over the past six or seven years. From the New Paradigm mantra of the
late 1990s to today's new theories of the current-account adjustment, the US central bank has led the charge in attempting to rewrite conventional
macroeconomics and in making an effort to convince market participants of the wisdom of its revisionist theories. The problem is that this recasting
of macro is very self-serving. It is a concentrated effort on the part of the Fed to exonerate itself from the Original Sin of failing to address
asset bubbles. The result is an ever- deepening moral hazard dilemma that poses grave threats to financial markets.
