Beware Moral Hazard Fundamentalists (FT)

September 24, 2007
On September 23rd, CGD board member Lawrence Summers authored an article in the Financial Times about responding to financial crises.

From the Article:

"Central to every policy discussion in response to a financial crisis or the prospect of a crisis is the concept of moral hazard. Unfortunately, there is great confusion in many quarters about the circumstances when moral hazard is, and is not, a problem."
