Re: Financial Pneumonia
Great analogy by Mark Thoma. Let's consider his example further. Each car, if it functions properly, is worth $20,000. Like Mark says, some unknown number of cars are total trash and are worth $0....

Re: Something Epic (Mark Kleiman & Megan McArdle)

Re: Something Epic (Mark Kleiman & Megan McArdle)

Re: Leaving Iraq
Heather is awesome. Her verbal skills are scary sophisticated. Like, WTF, check out her lead into the Iraq discussion at the beginning of this diavlog. Is this really how she thinks on the fly. ...

Re: Let's Talk About Talking About Race
I know we're not supposed to lament any of the fine participants on bloggingheads but I don't like this pairing. Peter is one of my favorite writer/commenters and Jonah just brings him down. Sorry.

Re: Economic Throwdown Edition
I would love, love to see anti vs. pro stimulus academic economists go at it. Mankiw or Barro vs. Krugman would be my bloggingheads dream. It would be great to see how the Harvard guys justify...

Re: Economic Throwdown Edition
In praise of Megan, I'll say that I thought her point about the how government spending helps to revive the "real" economy is one worth exploring. Clearly, when gov spending draws back we hope the...

Re: Economic Throwdown Edition
Awesome diavlog. Thank you Robert Wright! A couple of thoughts. I'm convinced Megan is a genius and Dean Baker is fast becoming a hero of mine.
Megan is so fast and knows so many facts, it...

Re: The Case for Big Government
This is a good diavlog. I'm also happy to see three macroecon themed diavlog's in a row even if two of them featured libertarians.

Re: A Humbler Stimulus?
