about the true rate? For the shareholder books, a different rate -- a
slower rate -- is often used. A fast rate minimizes taxes and a slow

what is the Scholastic Jubilee?
If Stiglitz is calling for scrapping the IMF maybe it's time to
revive Peter Dorman's suggestion of the Stochastic Jubilee; clearly
it would appeal to the more radical denizens of information
be a little
while in coming round to supporting this one ...

Ken:
was not particularly impressed by Stiglitz. He stands out only
compared to the complete dolts at the IMF who are not only stupid but
obviously arrogant and blind to reality, completely brain-washed by
text-book economics and
Stiglitz is important for another reason. He seems to be close to
creating a consensus here.

Well you are no doubt right about that but as Stiglitz claimed most of
these people actually believe they are doing the right thing in terms of
development yet they are blind and arrogant even within their own narrow
framework. Two examples:
1) The IMF favors countries with balanced budgets
Ken, allow for the power of ideology. And in general it's strategically
important not to explain the enemy in terms of intelligence. I always
told my freshman comp students, if the idea you are attacking seems
incredibly stupid and easy to demolish, consider seriously that you
don't understand

Yes. Both were at the seat of power -- or at least near it; and both
recanted. Neither would feel wholly confortable with the views found on
this list.
Of course, I feel much more kinship to Stiglitz -- quite a bit in fact --
than to McNamara. The point is we can take what we want from people
