More Geithner Bashing (And Productive Suggestions)

Here is a pair of pieces: the first is a TheStreet.com interview with Chris Whalen (from Institutional Risk Analytics) criticizing Geithner and giving some productive suggestions (as per usual)! The second is former Australian PM Paul Keating suggesting that Geithner is actually a major, if not THE, cause of the financial crisis, stemming from seeds sown in his handling of the Asian Crisis in 1997/1998 at the IMF. Definitely provocative; there is probably quite a bit of truth to it.
