Entertainment Weekly recap.

Big Lewboski

Maud: Tell my about yourself, Jeffrey.

Lebowski: Well, not much to tell. I, um, was one of the authors of the Port Huron statement, the original statement not the compromise second draft. Did you ever hear of the Seattle Seven?

Maud: Hmmm.

Lebowski: That was me. There was six other guys. And then the music business briefly.

Maud: Oh.

Lebowski: Yeah. Roadie for Metallica. Speed of Sound tour. A little of this and little that. My career has slowed down lately.

Maud: What do you do for recreation?

Lebowski: Oh the usual. Bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

DeLong and monetary financing

Future Economists Will Probably Call This Decade the 'Longest Depression' by Brad DeLong

What we need now is 1) debt relief to unwind the overhang and 2) much tighter financial regulation to prevent the growth of new fragilities. And if those prove inconsistent with full recovery, then we need massive government spending on infrastructure and other investments financed by money printing until full employment is reattained.
