Japan's recovery, again - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com

For what it's worth, a key conclusion from the IMF's new World Economic Outlook is that recessions caused by financial crisis typically end with export booms, with the trade balance improving, on average, by more than 3 percent of GDP. I find this a disturbing result: we're now suffering from a global financial crisis, which means that the usual driver of recovery will only be available if we can find another planet to export to.


Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

Don't just stand there, sell them something!!!!

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

There you go again, over-reacting.  If you saw what we had to use for washing machines, you'd be glad to buy them from Siemens.  Though we had no use, of course, for these "automobile" things you keep talking about saving.

Or to go to war with.  "World unites to build stealth space ships with nukes and death rays!"  Like WW II, only with space Nazis.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Yeah, it's the war part I'm worried about but not against space aliens.

Now where's the fun in that! - Megatron
