Those were the days.

Let the Good Times Roll Again?

Good News in Bad Times

Good Times Down Latin America s Way

Will such good times continue?

Good times and these are good times for the global economy are rarely the moment for concrete initiatives to deal with difficult problems.

Show us a good time, bring our hearts some fun.

Should the good times start rolling again so soon?

But good economic times rarely test a political system.

The economy grew faster in good phases, and slumped more sharply in downturns.

Finally, we need international cooperation in bad and good times alike.

Many governments waste good economic times by postponing the reforms needed to build a prosperous future.

Bad news can crowd out good news, especially in times of serious financial crisis and political unrest.

Left to their own devices, global financial markets provide too much credit at too cheap a price in good times, and too little credit in bad times.

But if it produces the threat of fiscal instability and excessive sovereign debt risk after a large shock, then the starting point was not sufficiently conservative in other words, deficits or debt levels (or both) were too high. Counter cyclicality does not mean running modest deficits in the good times and huge deficits in major downturns.

And the unjust allocation of resources, which has enriched so many politically well connected individuals and families, has become more difficult to bear.

In time, even the most well meaning come to regard their wards with cold detachment, if not dehumanizing contempt.

Otherwise, we will be forever trapped in a framework where taxpayers are forced to bail out banks in bad times, while wealthy shareholders reap huge profits in good times.

Hence, funding for public health has been a tough sell in good economic times, and is one of the first targets for retrenchment.

This is how the best of times meets the worst of times.

Furthermore, it should be easier to adopt the new framework when times are good like now, when growth is strong and inflation is low.

Lenders provide money when times are good, but want their money back when, say, energy prices plummet. (As the old adage has it, banks only like to lend to those who do not need money.)

Times have changed.

Times change.

The times are hard.

Old times!

For all people who were with us both in good times and in bad times, those of you who stood by us not only in our successes but also in our failures, YOU are awesome!
