Krugman's main proposal in his book is nationalized health insurance which is vital to a high-growth egalitarian social insurance state. Great post.. this is really very interesting..

It's time to move on. And if learning from it is very hard to achieve, then by all means take the necessary precautionary measures to shun the same occurrence. Past is past. It's time to move on.

I would however point out that Krugman's main proposal in his book is nationalized health insurance which is vital to a high-growth egalitarian social insurance state. I also think it completely within bounds to look back at a previous era as a model while de-emphasizing it's more lousy properties. And I think Brink may be exaggerating a bit as well. I don't have the book in front of me and I haven't read it in months but I seem to recall a fair bit of criticism mixed in with mostly praise for that bygone era. I'd love to hear Krugman's cranky response. A nice post.
