Comments on: Regulation—Unintended Consequences http://mappingcompanysuccess.com/2009/06/regulation%e2%80%94unintended-consequences/ Info, comments and musings on company culture, communications and employee hiring, motivation and retention Fri, 25 May 2012 08:17:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Richard Barrett http://mappingcompanysuccess.com/2009/06/regulation%e2%80%94unintended-consequences/comment-page-1/#comment-52711 Richard Barrett Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:22:48 +0000 http://mappingcompanysuccess.com/?p=2813#comment-52711 Fred -- Thanks for the comment, and for reinforcing my point. While I agree that the Fed's explosion of the money supply MAY have been necessary, it's already done. So the question now is: what will be the consequences, both anticipated and unintended? No one knows where this "science experiment" will end up--recession, depression, stagflation, or a return to vibrant economic growth. The outcome is vitally important for all Americans, and everyone on the globe. History has demonstrated that unintended consequences simply overwhelm the efforts of central planners. But we have the ability to guide the outcome, by our collective actions in response to the consequences as they unfold. Timely transparency allows us all to participate in building a better future. Without transparency, we are truly shooting in the dark. Thanks for your comment, Richard Barrett Fred — Thanks for the comment, and for reinforcing my point.

Will be interesting to see where this science experiment ends up. The explosion in the money supply is terrifying, but not having the explosion could have created equally terrifying circumstances.
