Sorry to hear you lost your job.  I presume it was a "last in, first out" situation. I wondered where you'd been.  As I have argued elsewhere (with Jerome) being right too early doesn't really help you in (bureaucratic) business.  (It can help you as an entrepreneur).  Even Obama is appointing Summers rather than Stiglitz. The alacrity with which the neo-libs have become neo-Keynesians also seems to have disconcerted the Germans.  Career management is about re-inventing your brand to suit changed circumstances.  The most successful are also the most shameless.  Principles tend to get in the way.  I hope you find something else soon - perhaps start your own consultancy - how about one specialising in "surviving disaster Capitalism"?
