mani interesē kāpēc (ok in English: I think discussion of the frame within which these issues are discussed have been set by mainstream economists who are acting as lawyers as opposed to academics. There is also among these people a heavy importance in appearing rational and objective, which gives their utterances an undeserved weight among those who (like yourself, it seems to me) value rational thought. I think this is interesting.
OK, about the lawyer vs academic point. Read Vjačeslavs Dombrovskis or Morten Hansen's blogs, and you will see almost solely a criticism of the Latvian government(s), and hardly anything on the actions of the financial sector (Dombrovsksis may have offered a couple of sentences on it in one blog). These commentators, however, are valued as independent analysts and commentators. |
