debt etc

Folks
I haven’t had time to follow this debate (hopefully someone will put it
altogether at some stage, and the Evatt Foundation will be glad to publish
it), but I was instrumental in putting together the original Evatt
submission, and people may be interested in the following links:

1. Evatt Foundation covering submission to the debt review
http://evatt.labor.net.au/publications/books/71.html

2. Frank Stilwell’s attached paper: Different dimensions of debt
http://evatt.labor.net.au/publications/papers/66.html

3. Tony Aspromourgos’ attached paper: Is government debt desirable?
http://evatt.labor.net.au/publications/papers/64.html

4. A subsequent paper by Bill Mitchell: Divisions over public debt
http://evatt.labor.net.au/publications/papers/73.html

And an earlier background paper, which explains what gave rise to the Evatt
submission:
5. Bond traders take on Costello: Australia heads to zero debt, by Phillip
Baker
http://evatt.labor.net.au/publications/papers/60.html

Plus a contribution from Fred Argy:
6. Why fiscal surpluses
http://evatt.labor.net.au/news/132.html

And a recent report from the International Herald Tribune containing an
assessment of international credit risk:
7. Get serious about the threat of a credit collapse, by David Ignatious
