Just listened to this Charlie Rose show on the disappearing middle class: slashcontrol.com The first part with Arianna Huffington, Jacob Hacker, Steve Pearlstein and Ken Rogoff is good, but I thought that the last 25 minutes or so with Fareed Zakaria was excellent. Zakaria has a Time Magazine cover story titled "How to Restore the American Dream," so he's been focusing on this problem recently.

Classic Krugman creates and argument in his own mind and then demolishes it. lj

As of this post there has been a total of $41,687 pledged by 628 people to be given to the Fresh Food Program at FoodBankNYC.org if the Murphy-Krugman Debate happens. As the pledged amount continues to grow Krugman will feel the pressure to respond. It's a win-win situation for those of us who have studied the economic thoughts of the Austrian School economists (Mises, Rothbard, and Hayek, to name three of the more famous thinkers). If Krugman accepts he will fail trying to defend his bankrupt Keynesian theories. If he declines (most likely outcome) he will continually have to explain why an hour of his time was too valuable to give over $40,000 in food to the poor.
