Quick Links

It’s not a good sign when your project deadline is looming and your to-do list is still growing rather than shrinking. In lieu of time-consuming commentary grasping desperately at some sort of insight, here’s some hopefully-interesting links.

Note to Krugman: this is what structural unemployment looks like

I’m ready for my fakon shamburger. 

Vouchers buy more than an education

And on a lighter note: damn you autocorrect! Hat tip to… well, you know who you are, and I’m not sure you want your name broadcasted, but apologies that we didn’t get to talk more, and I’d still like that sci-fi recommendation list if you get some free time. 

And then there’s this, which is probably much more attention that my thrown-together post deserves. Thanks Matt! (I should at least have mentioned the fellow who used forged papers to escape from Czechoslovakia at the height of the Cold War and more recently toured North Korea, Ben Rast who founded the Bastiat Society and helped put together the indescribably awesome Keynes vs. Hayek rap…)

    Well, if you read Krugman you know he’s explained several times, with data, why the unemployment we’re seeing right now is overwhelmingly due to low demand, and isn’t structural by and large, despite the habitual insistence of conservatives that it is.
    Other articles on the topic here, here, and here.

    My project deadline has passed and I’m still adding bits. Argh. My sympathies.
