With time against us, I will agree to disagree with Professor Honohan. To be honest, however, everything he is saying points in the direction of greater administrative control and planning in the economy as a whole, rather than letting the market rip. It all points in that direction. I am not really quite sure how Professor Honohan can act or intervene. In some ways, he is saying that we are pretty powerless here.
