More of the Same II

The Washington Post runs a laudatory piece about Ben Bernanke. He succeeded Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Fed in February 2006 and now has his hands full with the biggest crisis since the Great Depression.

As noted in More of the Same, the trend of eulogistic profiles in premier media outlets of the people charged with fixing the economy will continue. But for a good reality check you should visit Krugman’s blog after every major economic policy announcement.

Trying to suggest that a lack of explanation is evidence that supernatural powers are at work is actually a contradiction. In effect what it’s saying is, “I can’t explain something, therefore I can explain it.”

Exactly!
