Participantbrian, I hear you. I agree that Shiller is owed some respect because of all he said when he was a voice in the wilderness, but I think he’s sdefinitely pulling his punches now. I don’t think what he says is exactly the same as what he thinks any more. He’s become an actor in the play, modifying his message to get the results he wants, not just transmitting everything he knows and trusting that someone else will act correctly on it.
He’s still really smart, and we all owe him one, and he will doubtless produce useful things in the future, but right now he’s hitched his carriage to the PPT horse.

ParticipantI’m not sure they all agreed, TG. For years, Shiller was the voice in the wilderness, saying forthrightly that home prices were an unsupportable bubble. Now he cheers government measures to support home prices, unlike the other two economists here. I can only conclude that his love of a bigger role for government in this case is greater than his love for telling the truth like it is.
I can understand this, although I think it’s a net loss for us all. For years, Shiller has pushed all sorts of new financial instruments to help improve people’s lives by insuring them against risks not currently covered by financial institutions. He is probably frustrated by private insitutions not picking up enough of his ideas and sees a brighter future for his ideas in front of a government audience. So he’s paying some govt dues now.

Participant“You’re welcome Cooperthedog… visit “Timing the Bottom” ”
I wouldn’t bother visiting that thread, Coopertherdog, started by this very same RatherOpinionated. This RatherOpinionated advertises his properties here on Piggington, talks up the RE market with no data, and published results of his intrusive research on Rich T’s personal life.

ParticipantI’m pretty tolerant, but this guy’s a real troll. All you guys responding are falling for a troll’s bait. Advice: Let this thread die quickly, and don’t respond to any more posts from this guy (under whatever name he uses in the future).
