2046 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2010/06/george-soros-stumbles-in-face-of-tom.html The first Chinese participant does a fantastic job of challenging George Soros, with what sounds to me, like an argument directly out of Tom Woods NYT bestseller, Meltdown. Now I haven’t read Meltdown, but I have caught all of Woods’ articles and speeches available online, and feel I can confidently make that assessment. At 2:30, the Chinese participant mentions that markets can correct themselves, and Soros argues they cannot. Notice how Soros stumbles when he talks about how markets are smarter than regulators, then claims that only regulators can stop perpetual market failure. And the questioner does a wonderful job of pointing out, that only expansion of the monetary base can provide the necessary environment for these large booms, and Soros starts blinking, which sometimes is a sign of discomfort (approx. 4:30) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
