There are a number of subtleties that are being glossed over in a lot of the commentary. For example, what may be an adequate additional welfare stimulus in Germany may be totally inadequate in the US. What I would like to see is more sophisticated reporting on news channels like Channel 4. while it is doing a quite creditable job, it must do better, as the situation we are in demands it.

Anyway, I just want to I met Robert Shiller in San Francisco during the AEA conference back in January 2009 and told him about you and your books. I hope he took my advice and check out your books.
