Of course Brooks is taking aim at Krrugman and his new book without mentioning his name. Brooks does this by crediting the views of Chicago economist Rajan whom Krugman has well discredited.<br /><br />Brooks refers to cyclicalists as a pejorative, a tag he might place upon Krugman but for NYTimes "play nice" policy for it s columnists. Brooks personally take the "structural" position. He makes comparisons between what is happening in Europe and in America, crediting Germany for much (but not all) of its efforts. Here's his close:<br /><br />"Make no mistake, the old economic and welfare state model is unsustainable. The cyclicalists want to preserve the status quo, but structural change is coming."<br /><br />Perhaps self-proclaimed structuralist Brooks is more of a Mugwomp, which I was told decades ago was a person sitting atop a fence with his mug on one side and his womp on the other, than a tightrope walker. Brooks has established himself as the Robert Samuelson of the NYTimes Op-Ed page.Shag from Brooklinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312591102812315460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-28132841390958953202012-05-07T20:09:29.191-04:002012-05-07T20:09:29.191-04:00Hi,
