03:51:57 Jeff W I'd read it (even though economics is not my strong suit).
19:15:12 lambert I think that's a great idea, BDblue. I'll see if I can get a review copy.
11:16:44 BDBlue ECONned, Yves Smith's new book is out. I was wondering if any folks here wanted to do a book group kind of thing with it. Maybe hold it in a week or two after everyone has had time to finish it? Is there any interest?
08:41:20 lambert And now I'm going to clean my kitchen!
06:14:12 lambert Taking the day off, folks...
17:58:31 lambert Thanks, Jeff. I've been honing these points for some time....
