By Saul Eslake, published 25/5/2011

Appointments to the IMF should be made on the basis of merit, not nationality.

Skeptic. Note that Keating and Costello now have their hands up for a cushy IMF position.A horny chambermaid won't work with Keating however.Keating wants to be rewarded for selling off the Commonwealth Bank.Yep,rewarded for shafting his own country.

They are all tarred with the same brush of avarice at the expense of the masses.

Arjay, yes we know all about your version of voodoo economics!

Central banks, as other banks, have an important role to play.
They produce an important service.

Given your views, I can't for the life of me understand why
you just keep complaining on OLO. You are free to buy silver bars
and gold bars, if you wish. You are free not to use the banking
system, if you so wish. Its your choice really.

The salary as head of IMF is not that hot really, given the
the responsibility. Half a million a year would soon go, when
you have New York rents to pay. Few top wall street traders
would work for that. Some of our public servants earn that.

Both Keating and Costello would be great for the job

'Skeptic', if you want to make sarcastic comments about the types of employment for which I might in your eyes be suitable, at least get my name right. It's Saul, not Paul.

Even better, have the intestinal fortitude to provide your own name, rather than making snide comments behind the pusillanimous shield of anonymity.

And, as it happens, not having a Ph D I probably wouldn't get a look-in for an IMF staff position.
