Design of the bailout

The demand for market designers:
"Paulson, while seeking maximum flexibility, said the Treasury is considering doing auctions one asset class at a time. He said the aim to bring “bright people” to work on the challenge of designing market mechanisms." (This sounds like a job for Paul Milgrom).

Hat tip to Eric Budish (who is on the market as a market designer this year).
