Talk:Hyman Minsky

message: Isn't this sentence :"Speculative finance units are units that can meet their payment commitments on 'income account' on their liabilities, even as they cannot repay the principal out of income cash flows. Such units need to 'roll over' their liabilities: (e.g. issue new debt to meet commitments on maturing debt). Governments with floating debts, corporations with floating debts of commercial paper, and banks are typically hedge units." supposed to be ending with "speculative units" and not like was written above? didn't want to edit myself, so if someone monitors this, I think this should be fixed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.228.108.133 (talk) 08:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: It would probably be a good idea to make that block quote shorter. Right now it's just to big of a portion of the article - we might as well make the whole thing one big Minsky quote. Should be trimmed down just to capture the gist of it.radek (talk) 06:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

"It was at the University of California at Berkeley that seminars attended by Bank of America executives helped him to develop his theories about lending and economic activity, views he laid out in two books John Maynard Keynes (1975), a classic study of the economist and his contributions, and Stabilizing an Unstable Economy (1986), and more than a hundred professional articles."

replies: text: You're right - most of the Financial Theory section is lifted from the NYT obituary referred to in the article. This is unfortunate and demands a rewrite. Miguel (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm troubled by this sentence: " Because of the unlikelihood of most investments' capital gains being enough to pay interest and principal, much of this type of finance is fraudulent", in particular, the word " fraudulent", in this section. 
I read "The Financial Instability Hypothesis, where the three types are borrowing are explained. While it is clear that Minsky is expressing concern about the impact of the Ponzi borrower, I see nothing to support the contention he views it as predominantly or inherently fraudulent. I think a better term is "ill-advised" or "irrationally optimistic", but even those terms might require OR or unwarrented synthesis to include. Is there some support for "fraudulent" I've missed? If no, can this be repaired with a softer term. or would it be better to simply remove the sentence?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
