The Edward de Bono Weekly Message - Economic Crisis

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The current economic crisis requires some new thinking. It will not get that. There will be a lot of analysis and references to the 1930 crisis.

 The methods for influencing the local economy are very limited. There are interest rate changes and there are tax changes. If there is inflation you raise the interest rate. If you are in the eurozone you cannot do that because interest rates are set by the Central Bank in Europe and if other countries do not have inflation you cannot raise the interest rates.

 It is assumed that if raising the interest rates stop inflation then the opposite should stop deflation. So interest rates may be reduced almost to zero. The effect is weak or absent. Edward de Bono - 31st March 2009

The de Bono Weekly Message - Property Market

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

When the property market is falling buyers tend to wait until it falls further. Why buy now when you can get a lower price in a few months’ time? So the market falls further because some people need to sell and lower their price.

 

We could create a new type of contract. You sell at today’s price but contract with the buyer that in a year (or two years) if the house price index has fallen by a further twelve per cent then you refund that twelve per cent to the buyer. There is now no point in waiting. So the market stops falling and you may not have to refund anything. This could be a new type of contract which anyone could be free to use.
