I don’t enjoy the world of finance and economics. At all. However, I started reading some economics blogs regularly over the summer, when it really seemed that the wheels were starting to come off. This summer I spoke with someone I know in finance who Assured Me (in the special way that only people who make money off other people’s money can) that this economy is truly robust and vigorous. It seemed to him a little pathetic, I think, that people like me persisted in complaining about the economy, as if we just can’t figure out how to open combination padlocks or something. I did protest, though probably not very effectively, money not really being my thing.

Anyway, I would just like to call your attention to Nouriel Roubini’s blog, because apparently he has been vindicated in his dire predictions. Ha!
