Like so many other think tanks and experts, it seems satisfied to throw up its hands and say that there is no reasonable way for growth to be restored, says Doug McIntyre.
We ought to be skeptical about "experts" who cannot explain what is happening and for this reason cannot offer helpful policy advice. Arguing that some approaches be taken because that is what has been done in the past does not necessarily help if the economy is behaving in a different way.
Perhaps because this recession is unlike others? If that is so, we are going to face unusual dangers. Our experts might not know what to recommend. Worse, they might give flawed advice.
The agency says that “Growth in the Group of Seven countries is expected to be around1.5 percent on an annualized basis in the second half of 2010. U.S. GDP is expected to be in the 1.2 percent range in the fourth quarter of 2010.
