Article:
Third Bisalaiah Endowment Lecture at the Rani Bahadur Auditorium, University of Mysore Campus, Mysore, India. BY,
Prof. Kishore Kulkarni

Abstract:
It is my great pleasure to be here again, to be in front of you to deliver this lecture on the topic of “Economic Mess in USA: Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Headed?” Let me answer the last part first. To sum up my answer in four words I would like to say: “I do not know”. This is because, economic forecasting is not only a dangerous business but isalso quite adventurous and shameless especially when you are wrong numerous times. Then again, I find many of my economist colleagues who come up with the exact shapes of the US economic recovery. They even give economic recoveries some funny and exotic shapes such as U shaped recovery, V shaped recovery, W shaped recovery etc. To be honest with you, all my economic training (and thinking) tells me that I have no idea where these experts get these shapes from, and how they become so confident about the future. It is in fact wrong to be so confident about the future which strongly depends upon future unknown shocks, but that does not stop many of us. Economic and financial forecasting are the only fields in which you can be consistently wrong and still call yourself an expert!!
