We need regulation to restrain market abuse, market monopolies and oligopolies and we need laws to prevent fraud and other abuses. What we need is effective regulation, rather than the ineffective regulation promolgated by new Labour for the FSA in 1998 and 2000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-85214036971070198702008-11-25T14:20:00.000+00:002008-11-25T14:20:00.000+00:00Did you see the bit on Dale's Dozen asking the que...Did you see the bit on Dale's Dozen asking the question what happened to Cyril Smith?

Doesn't he remember how good the unregulated credit markets were at pricing the risk on sub prime mortgages which got us into this mess in the first place. And which market price for oil should we use for economic decision making - those believing in free markets have lots to chose from!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-3333861670433642462008-11-25T13:08:00.000+00:002008-11-25T13:08:00.000+00:00The old saying "empty vessels make the most noise"...The old saying "empty vessels make the most noise" really sums the Tories up when it comes to the economy. So what is their solution - leave it to the markets and the markets will return to their natural rate of growth. Perhaps they should remember that this was exactly the economic thinking that was followed during the Great Depression and we only got out of that because of the War and Keynesianism. <BR/><BR/>Oh when oh when will the Tories understand the difference between micro and macro economics? Surely if anyone who looks at the markets for credit and raw materials will realise the markets need some regulation in order to operate efficiently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-18746521282391921832008-11-25T12:02:00.000+00:002008-11-25T12:02:00.000+00:00Chris; I have repeatedly blogged about these issue...Chris; I have repeatedly blogged about these issues and take absolutely no pleasure in it whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>I pray that I am wrong and you are right ... but I just don't believe that this is anything more than a roll of the dice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-39806538799275938942008-11-25T08:31:00.000+00:002008-11-25T08:31:00.000+00:00"Annoymous" anonymous 02:36 am.
