Merrill in the mire
Which will further squeeze the capital available to finance economic activity – and reinforce an economic slowdown already in train. That said, it's an ill wind… But not for Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve. The current economic mess is laid by many at this door, for the way the Fed cut interest rates too much and held them down too long after 9/11. And he was also a champion of the kind of financial innovation that fuelled the bubble in US sub-prime lending. Anyway, a number of hedge funds have made a mint out of sub-prime lending. The biggest winner has been the New York firm, Paulson & Co, which is thought to have made $12bn in profits from the sub-prime meltdown. And guess who has just become an adviser to Paulson? Yup, Mr Greenspan.
