Misunderstanding financial crises. Entrevista a Gary Gorton

Aca


"We know from the data that when there is less government debt outstanding, the private sector creates private “safe” substitutes. If there is more government debt outstanding, the privately-created “safe” debt shrinks. This is because of the demand in the economy for “safe” assets.

Privately-produced safe debt can be created without being vulnerable to bank runs with the right regulation. It would be better for the government to oversee the creation of privately-produced safe debt than to try to create enough government debt to meet the demand."
