U.S. Economic Decline


The GMO Quarterly Letter (2009 October) by Jeremy Grantham titled
Just Deserts and Markets Being Silly Again is an extremely informed comment on the current U.S. economic situation. It identifies the causes for the coming economic decline that the incompetence of the current Washington administration has guaranteed. Additionally, the letter concludes with a Special Topic report titled Lesson Not Learned: On Redesigning Our Current Financial System. The Special Topic report is extremely prescient and worth reading in detail. Both reports are detailed and somewhat lengthy --- consequently, not for the faint of heart.
