HB, I hope both prosper. <G> I had to sign up to Slate. I'll look at the story when I get the password. I hope Krugman isn't mad about the way I slimed him in Barron's. Wait a second, I've graduated. I don't have to be nice to professors. <G> MB

HB, Krugman isn't pulling any punches but he is also not hitting any chins. <G> The more I read about this goof, the more I think he is just a crackpot. Every recession is caused by people wanting to hold cash. Huh?????? Who the heck held cash in 1974? You got murdered by inflation if you did. But, if we give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is right, the important point is why do they want to leave the party and hold cash. I fear we have a nutburger on our hands. But an interesting site. Thanks for providing the URL. MB
