<The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition -- July 14, 1998> I loved the kicker about how a recession would benefit amzn and kill B&N. My take is it would be bad for both. The yuppies will be to depressed to read a book.> Another in a long history of brilliant business writers who haven't the foggiest conception of what basic economic terms mean. Ever hear of "elastic demand?" I hope that author was joking and not an idiot, because it would be profoundly to sad for anyone to be stuck with that type of disability for the remainder of one's life. Frightening.
