The start of the school year has been very busy and has kept me away from posting. Here are two articles that might be good to use in class. The first is from the Economic View column in the New York Times where Robert Frank discusses the role of infrastructure spending in the United States with a comparison to other countries. The basic point is our infrastructure has deteriorated and needs repair and right now might be the cheapest time to do this - not to mention, over the past few decades we have spend too little to make the improvements. The acticle does a good job with showing how the con opportunity cost affects government policy.
The second piece is by Paul Krugman and Robin Wells called, "The Slump Goes One: Why?" from the New York Review of Books. Pretty self explanatory in what it is covering.
