I just wanted to make one little point which I think that Bob Murphy is not exploiting enough, namely the fact that his challenge to debate Krugman is not merely one ivory tower [figure] asking to duel another for sport. It’s more like the fact that Krugman, in being the de-facto spokesperson for the prevalent economic ‘philosophy,’ under which we are all suffering, actually owes us all an explanation for the manifestly miserable results and very dangerous further risks which this philosophy is foistering.
