Memeo to Washington; loads of people anticipated, you just didn't want to listen to anybody who said things you preferred not to hear. You know that and we know you know that. So enough with the bs already. People antipated but you didn't do your job. keep to the Fen Causeway
Now, Krugman, Stiglitz, De-Long, Shiller, Kuttner, Roubini, Baker, and even Wolf are the big kids of the "blog". They are the people who are considered "to know" .. all of them against the rational market Chicago-school bs,all of them warning against a huge shadow banking system, all of them supporting massive income redistribution and government intervention...
They are the serious guys... and by serious I do nto mean that the wing-nuts of the Post and edittorial page of WSJ take them seriously.. I mean that the people with money , with real money on the line look at them when they want to know if their asses will be saved. They are lsitened to when you want to know what to do to save the rich asses from a great depression.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
