About Me
- Randall Parker
- I am a Professor of Economics at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. My research focuses on macroeconomics and economic history in general and the economics of the Great Depression in particular. I have authored two books, Reflections on the Great Depression and The Economics of the Great Depression: A Twenty-First Century Look Back at the Economics of the Interwar Era and edited The Seminal Works of the Great Depression. I am currently working on my fourth book Interwar Historical Antecedents of Modern Inflation Targeting and I am the co-editor (with Robert Whaples) of The Handbook of Major Events in Economic History and The Handbook of Modern Economic History. I have also traveled the country giving speeches on the state of the macroeconomy and other economic issues to many trade and business associations. When I am not thinking about the economy I am either chasing ducks, handicapping horses or arranging a fine dining experience. Lastly, the opinions expressed on this blog are mine alone and do not reflect upon East Carolina University in any way or manner, in whole or in part, now and forever more under the canopy of heaven.

You found a way to "share" your 2 cents with everyone I see.....WAY TO GO Dr, PARKER!!!!
You didn't mention that the credit restriction may also help banks AND it's investors (aka US) if its shown to improve the overall future health of the investment portfolio.
Look forward to droping by when I'm in NC.

I've tried to post a comment on your blog 3 times to no avail....are you avoiding talking to me even in cyberspace?????
Dear Meesta0j: What are you talking about? There is a delay in posting comments so I can make sure no one posts some vulgar obscene comment (which has been tried before). This is a family-oriented blog. We must think of our itsy-bitsy econ bloggers too.
I'll talk to you in any "space" you want.
