KT, agreed. It's not often I'd go against WEB, but it seems he hasn't fully thought this one out.

KT, >If the other countries do the same thing, doesn't that mean there would be no trade because nobody could import first and they wouldn't be allowed to export first, either.< If you are running a surplus, I believe your tickets would be worthless on the free market. I'm a little suspect of the whole idea and I'm sure he couldn't cover every issue in a single article, but I think the gist of the article was valuable. It's was kind of like Perot's charts explaining the budget deficit. It helped bring the issue into the public debate. By the way, he wrote virtually the exact same article in the late 80s for the Washington Post. No one listened then either. :-)
