[...] three of the engines of China’s economy, I have seen nothing going on but normal everyday life. The shops are full of people, “we hire” signs are on the windows, and taxi drivers [...]

Hi, long time no see. How’s the Skritter doing.

Yes, actually from what I have seen and been told by taxi drivers, the laobaixing are still doing fine. I suppose the crisis hasn’t reached their level yet. It is true there has also been some layoffs of white collars, but nothing spectacular for the moment in Shanghai.

To the predictions of economists, whether they are famous or not, I give little credibility. Economics is good at analyzing the past, but not at guessing the future.There were as many famous economists praising the financial system a few years ago as there are now criticizing it.

That’s why I say Wen Jiabao can make a better prediction than all Davos gurus together. Of course, a different thing is whether he wants to disclose his real guess or not, politics is politics.

Interesting article ULN. I recently read about some pretty dire predictions for the US economy as well (something like a potential for up to 5% economy-wide contraction in 2009), but I imagine that for China, which has been on such an enormous growth curve for the last 10 years, an economic slowdown, let alone a contraction would seem cataclysmic.

In fact, I recently talked to my former college economic adviser, who was almost called up for duty at the Fed (when the Greenspan-Bernanke switch occurred he was concerned they’d call his name and he’d have to drop everything to go to Washington). My simple question to him was “what would you do if you were in Bernanke’s shoes right now?” He said, “I’d crawl under my desk and not come out.”

That’s pretty scary, from someone who knows a heck of a lot more than I do. It’s a good sign that people are still hiring in Shanghai. All the papers here are filled with stories of highly qualified people being unable to find jobs.

Keep up the good posts. I always enjoy reading about current economics!
