About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Larry Summers

Larry Summers has withdrawn himself from being considered for Fed chairman. It is likely that Janet Yellen will instead be nominated to chair the monetary-policymaking body,  although Obama has not announced any decision yet. Yellen has thus far been the favorite of Democrats, although Summers seemed to be the White House favorite.
