Last night I was re-reading Friedman's book The Day of Reckoning.
Every chapter starts with a quote from the Old Testament on the
moral hazards of borrowing. He really does seem to be talking more
about the international asset position of the US than about the public
debt, but he never makes that
The Friedman/Nell exchange in NYRB, linked from the BF on Stiglitz page,
also has BF in the position of deficit hawk. Nell gets in some good
points. Unfortunately, NYRB is charging for peeking at their archives
now, is that right?

Summers was lashing out at B. Friedman because the latter was highlighting _government_ debt? is the infamous session where Summers went on and on about patriotism?
