The boom and bust nature of the economy here, as it's so dependent on resources and agriculture. Home loan interest rates of 17%, little things like that. Some people on here seem to want a downturn so that they can buy property at the very bottom of a depressed market.

I have learned two things from economists:
1. Most of them are raving left wing lunatics with barely hidden agendas.
2. None of them could tell you what will happen tomorrow.
I might remind readers that the millions of economists in the world today sat back and didn’t see the GFC coming. Economists were also the idiots who thought the Euro common currency was a good idea.
(I might also point out that the very thing that led to the GFC, Securitisation, is making a comeback. Last year, there were just two or three US dollar investors looking at European asset-backed securities, but now the figure is closer to 30)

There are a wide variety of economists with disparate motivations, theories and experiences. Some got it right, some got it wrong and some were paid to say a certain thing. Lumping them all together is a convenient way of sticking your head in the sand.
