SERIOUSLY ONCE AGAIN, BUT REAL AT CATO
            ABOUT IMM AND OTHER INTERVENTIONS IN MARKET


"Americans view themselves as reasonably prudent and sober people when
it comes to matters of money. Yet as a community, we also seem to
believe that we are entitled to a lifestyle that is well beyond our
income, a tendency that goes back to the earliest days of the United
States and particularly to get-rich-quick experiences ranging from the
Gold Rush of the 1840s to the real-estate bubble of the early 21st
century. Inflated examines this apparent conflict, as it seeks to tell
the story of money inflation and public debt as recurring features of
American life. Inflated also draws on the insights of Austrian
business-cycle theory in painting its picture of American economic
history." on book: "Inflated'.


"CONCLUSION" AND "ITS PREMISSES" ( ABOUT IMF AND THE SIMILAR
BAILOUTS):

J. VASQUEZ
"In short, the IMF has expanded its role from providing short-term
loans based on macroeconomic policy change to providing longer-term
aid conditioned on structural economic reforms to providing bailout
funds and becoming an international crisis manager. As the graph
shows, new missions and greater lending have led to periodic increases
in the fund's resources, which donor nations have granted every time
such increases have been requested'


"The world economy has changed dramatically since the creation of the
IMF. The fund long ago lost its original mission but has taken on new
functions since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. The rise of
IMF lending and crisis mediation since the early 1980s reflects, in
large part, the development of a dysfunctional relationship between
lenders and borrowers in international finance. Repairing that
relationship requires that moral hazard be reduced and that crisis
prevention and management be more effective. The IMF's new initiatives
to deal with crises, however, are likely to be ineffective. An
approach based on greater reliance on two-party negotiations holds
more promise in stabilizing the international financial system than
the current approach, in which the IMF too often becomes a burdensome
third party. "


AND Y. C. Richard Wong STRAIGHT FROM THE FIELD: "There is little
doubtthat the actions of the International Monetary Fund in bailing
outcountries had created a serious moral hazard problem in
internationallending."
