Comments on: A Rice Bowl Should Not Be Carelessly Threatened http://www.economicprincipals.com/issues/2011.10.23/1301.html A Web-based independent commentary on the production and distribution of economic ideas Mon, 20 May 2013 13:26:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Susan http://www.economicprincipals.com/issues/2011.10.23/1301.html/comment-page-1#comment-33020 Susan Sat, 07 Apr 2012 02:51:30 +0000 http://www.economicprincipals.com/?p=1301#comment-33020 I thought it was a impressive piece of work…like all Ron Suskind’s book. I learned a lot. These issues/jobs/politics are complicated with many different POVs. If an author waits for perfection, complete error free, no ‘hearsay’ then he/she doesn’t actually write very much.

“The larger story is that not just Summers but most of an entire generation of National Bureau of Economic Research-trained of economists misunderstood the situation.”

Not disagreeing with this assessment at all, but how does this jibe with your previous veneration of Martin Feldstein, in large part due to his transformation of NBER?

This is a common occurrence in Suskind’s work.
