Forgiving our dead correspondent for mistaking a small island country for a very large, land based state, it seems that he does not take into account that the PDR cannot, and does not, control prices. They claim they can but their efforts effectively create an underground economy where goods and services are exchanged outside the carefully monitored state “marketplace.” One can credit this phenomenon for creating the pressure that currently pushes the authoritarian regime to make economic policy decisions that more closely reflect free market realities.

Perhaps, the next time we get a dead correspondent to lecture us we can get Adam Smith to tell us whether this: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=6&u=/ap/20030729/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/terror_market_10 is the most brilliant idea in market-based intelligence ever or the spookiest invocation of the invisible hand of the market ever. I, myself, am torn.

Now, Pathos, Sir Norman was on his deathbed when the PRC was established. You can’t blame him for being incompletely informed since he’s been dead for 53 years.

“The Republic of China is the United States’ only credible rival as an imperial power . . .” This should, of course, say the “Democratic Republic of China”. We have no such fears about Taiwan.

Yes, the Yuan is undervalued. Greenspan knows he won’t be around for the deluge and Bush knows that his plutocrat cronies will know how to take care of themselves regardless. As for the rest of us, the result will be rather darwinian, “red in tooth and claw.” Or as a former co-worker of mine used to call out to us every Friday afternoon: “So long suckers!” Nuff said.

I think Mr Greenspan says the Yuan is undervalued, not overvalued. Is this why you stuffed things up so much back in the 1920s?
