Another book well worth reading - I'm on a tear lately. This time, economist and New York Times op ed writer Paul Krugman has gathered many of his columns thematically into a book length critique of the Shrubster's administration. It is entitled "The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century." In some ways this book is especially instructive in that each column is reproduced and dated as it originally appeared in the newspaper, giving us little windows of Krugman's thinking on Shrub-o-nomics, politics, and social policy. I have to confess to being tickled by an economist describing the current crop of Neowackos as a "revolutionary power."

He isn't wrong about that, by the way. Read the book and find out why.
