Ann,

In case any of your readers might be interested in reading about how Keynes “might” have responded to the present crisis,

they can perhaps do no better than to have a look at Paul Davidson’s The Keynes Solution and Skidelsky’s Keynes: The Return of the Master. I do

not suggest these as a substitute for Turner; they are not.

Ann, Turner is terrific. The book is available at amazon.co.uk at a slightly less expensive price than at its American counterpart.

Re Geithner, Summers, Bernanke, may I ask “what collective brain power”?

The political problem in the UK is that, while the Labour

Party seems to have lost its way and Brown can’t see his way to the “other side”, the likely alternative is worse. Cameron put a foot in the water

of “better living”, almost got it chopped off, and backed off to the familiar territory of Thatcherism. Perhaps a hung Parliament is the best we

can hope for?
