Christina Romer and the Strong Dollar

Christina Romer has a good piece in the New York Times Economic View column about the economics and politics of the dollar - basically, is a strong dollar a good thing? She does a good job explaining how currency markets set the value of the dollar and why having a strong dollar is more of a political issue than an economic concern. This is definitely a good article for students when discussing exchange rates.
