I regret that your links today didn’t include this absolutely fabulous piece by Michael Hudson at both Counterpunch and Economic Perspectives:
https://neweconomicperspectives.blogspot.com/2010/01/state-of-union-junk-economics-2010-how.html
Hudson is planning a Part II for tomorrow. An outstanding analysis to be sure.
Ed, have you read John Hussman’s 1/19/10 column, inflation myth and reality? Thought it was a great one and did not see it make the links last week
sdm I missed that Hussman piece because I was on holiday that weekend. I’ll take a look. Thanks for the tip.
