We tried discussing it in The economics mini course but IJ killed that discussion when we went from seminars to white lectures. Thanks. I do not doubt the pain and anxiety but we are wallowing rather than trying to solve it.

great column. i just read the Times piece and i had the same reaction. i would only add the impact of the global trends she mentions on the Congress. i recall the democrats being won over on trade during clinton and sensing the harshness of the efficacy and competition arguments at the time. As you write, we see the consequences now.
