Once again going alone!

Sir Martin Wolf’s warning that “Bernanke’s big gamble on reflation may work to well” January 30, is right on the dot in that the US should have first made certain that the rest of the world would collaborate before wandering off in the wilderness like a macho-do-it-yourself-cowboy.

Also for the US after so many years of liquidity injections I would prefer watering their identifiable problem sectors, like housing, with individual applications, micro-jet, instead of using a big hose, since before working sufficiently the land with that confidence building that allows it to absorb the water, the risks of flooding are large.
