Mish's Global Economic Analysis

Google Tech Talk
May 6, 2009

ABSTRACT

Presented by Mike "Mish" Shedlock.

Mike "Mish" Shedlock is author of one of the most read economics blogs on the Internet: Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis [http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/].

Mish gave an @Google talk, sharing his perspective on the state of the global economy (housing, the stock market, commodities, etc.) He also provides his interesting story about how he started blogging, and the impact that it has had on his life personally and professionally.

In January, Time.com ranked his site the #1 based on a rounded set of criteria [http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1873144-3,00.html]. From the article:

"Although Mish is not an economist by training, he adroitly gets into the thick of economic data. Mish uses observations made by those in major media, so-called experts and government officials and serves up analysis based on his impression of their relevance and validity. The author is not afraid to attack conventional wisdom."

Mish, please focus on the Federal Reserve and their control of the US Dollar. That is where the problems start and end.

[HillcrestCapital]

Pfff, fuck this guy, bring on the Nicki Manaj and Lil Wayne!

@rictorn Exactly. He nails all the problems going on, and then decides that it's not laissez faire greedtrader capitalism that's at fault, but workers who don't even have any power in the system. Fact is, humans are done.

[TheRealCritique]

Mish is a decent analyst, but comes to the same old business school boy conclusions. That all the problems are pensions and public wages, all of which get pumped back into the economy. Frankly, traders like Mish should be out of a job. He wants to destroy unions. Fact is, when unions were strong, and bankers weren't allowed to gamble on the stock market with public funds, the economies of the world were boring, but worked fine. Plus good luck criticizing the douche. He can't handle it.

[rictorn]

he is correct that a bubble is a misalocation of money but how can he not see that that is the free market, bubbles are the quansiquance of a free market, this guy is blind a dodo(being extinkt they don't see too well)

[rictorn]

i realise this guys pesimism is well founded, but the fact bubble was so big kainsianism is powerless in the short term to power us out of this dosent mean the do nothing (but deregulate) austrian economics well do anything but sink us, this guy offers no answers, what we must do 1st is decide what kind of a world we want then we can work together for that end
