Bruce Bartlett has a post in the New York Times Economix blog about how the root of the current crisis is Aggregate Demand (The only news in this is that Bartlett use to work for Ron Paul, Jack Kemp and George Bush). Basically, he is calling for the Fed to increase the money supply - that inflation is the lesser of evils right now. However, the post does have some good number on money supply, velocity, and the relationship between asset prices and demand (wealth effect). Could be good to use with students.
