'Europe is not growing it is on the brink of deflating' #LSESummers
Despite recent recovery Summers pessimistic on long term growth prospects #secularstagnation #lsesummers
Secular stagnation @LHSummers rounds up Europe, Japan, US. That’s it. Does growth in emerging Asia not count or not fit? #Lsesummers
@DannyQuah he probably thinks it's a high-income countries disease, and asia will get there eventually #LSESummers- Interesting discussion of capacity of Information Technology to affect the economy #LSESummers
A huge Q for our time: How to square the displacement of labour by tech, with the overall decline in productivity @LHSummers, #LSESummers- 'Secular stagnation could be reinforced by aspects of current technology' #LSESummers
How do we square improving technological efficiency with declining productivity? Question not answer from @LHSummers #lsesummers
"See this thing?" *@LHSummers holds up iPhone* "This has more computing power than the Apollo Project" #LSESummers- #secularstagnation: Ford, IBM were constantly investing, but Apple is rolling in cash, says @LHSummers. But what about Amazon? #lsesummers
- Japan has been awaiting recovery from their secular stagnation for 25 yrs. Not an encouraging example for rest of us @LHSummers, #LSESummers
@LHSummers "The previous track record of successful macroprudential regulation is, shall we say, limited" #lsesummers- Enlightened statescraft means looking forward, not backward - @LHSummers praises 1950s action by US & UK to reduce German debts #LSESummers
Why Germany does not helping reduce Southern European debt burdens, considering US/UK did that for Germany 3 times. #LSESummers
"We have seen substantial decline in the relative price of capital goods today." @LHSummers First event that I attended at LSE. #LSESummers
"Left think markets fail and need regulating. Right think governments are too big and inefficient. Both sides right."#LSESummers
