Enough Stimulation Big Boy May 2009
In this sharp-tongued commentary, the question is posed: how much economic stimulation is too much? With bailout packages, infrastructure spending, and central bank liquidity injections flowing freely in 2009, this post questions whether stimulus has become a substitute for structural reform.

Keywords: stimulation, economic stimulus, government spending, 2009 recession, bailouts, economic recovery, financial crisis response, inflation risk
