Dear Daniel Okrent,
Although writing to you about unfairness in the NY Times is a lot like
pressing the close door button in an elevator that is not connected to
anything but acts as a kind of placebo for impatient passengers, I am moved
to write something in light of three recent reviews in your
in-between, become head of your academic department and deny tenure to those who don't
believe. Or run a major journal or a major academic association and then declare
that only those who believe are good or true economists and deserve to be
published/tenured/rewarded.

I don't think that the crisis is a wage squeeze. What gave you that
impression? I do think that the crisis has caused business to squeeze wages to
increase profits, but I think we would all agree with that assessment.
My reading of Brenner is that there is excess capacity and that governments

Hi Michael,
You may not think that the crisis is a wage squeeze but the Brenner's
analysis of the declining profitability, I mean the global one, requires
an increase in wages (also global). This was shown clearly (in my view)

It depends on what you mean. The Japanese occupation basically
undermined any real Korean capitalist development, thus creating a
