Are bubbles all bad ?Idea Xchange 2009 explores a controversial theme. A theme that is extremely relevant today, specially in
Emerging Markets, where prudent policies (this time around) have prevented a collapse of the financial
system, thereby, of the country as a whole.
There is a popular belief that bubbles are necessarily bad things that need to be nipped in the bud, rather
than be allowed to prosper and grow, because the bursting of such bubbles is very painful for large parts of
a country’s or region’s population. On the other hand, it could be argued by some that irrespective of the
consequences, bubbles, in fact, lead to higher growth, raise standards of living, encourage innovation, etc.,
all of which are long lasting, secular changes that outlive any short term impact of a bursting bubble.
Economists and finance professionals like Anantha Nageswaran and Brian Brown, as well as leading
minds like Edilberto de Jesus, Mani Shankar Iyer and Ashok Soota take this debate forward.
