Is Mr Robert Picciotto a closet central planner?
Sir Robert Picciotto a Council Member of The United Kingdom Evaluation Society in a letter titled “Competition will not cure rating industry ills” July 27, writes: “Objective evaluation is a quintessential public good that is unlikely to be generated by the market”.
I sure hope Mr Picciotto is defending a business interest of his own, because the alternative would make him an extremely fanatical and dangerous central planner. How can he write such nonsense precisely in the midst of an economic crisis that resulted directly from the global bad risk information that was requested by those financial regulators who believe that our financial markets should be guided by some very few experts?
“Objective evaluation”? Hah! They have not even agreed what exact risk is to be evaluated or for what purpose exactly.
