Wow. It's like Fermi with a 2000 word essay explaining the number of sides on a triangle: Three.

This is the first Krugman article I've read, and while I don't know much about the economy, his points all seemed pretty logical. Krugman's also an amazing writer. That's probably the first economics article I've read and enjoyed.
