The invaluable Dutch CPB, on whose trade data Barry Eichengreen and I have been relying for our ongoing vox piece, has just published a book (in Dutch) on the Grote Recessie. They also have an accompanying website (in English) with lots of data and links, that at first glance looks to be a very nice resource indeed.

Will we re-learn the lessons of Jefferson?
On the other hand tethering the stupid by their greed does make technical progress more easy and keeps them out of the way …… Go the banks!
