Did anyone see Krugman's piece in the recent Slate? According to Krugman, people like Jaimie Galbraith and Rob't Kuttner are not fit to comment on economic matters because they either do not understand (in Kuttner's case) or they do not choose to use (in Galbraith's case) to use the mathematical methodology that Krugman espouses. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 916-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
