Friends,

I agree with Paul Phillips that NAIRU/NRU makes favourable institutional
change seem unacceptable. I just don't happen to believe that the ascendancy
of NAIRU/NRU was inevitable and I don't believe it's now invulnerable. None
of this is at all unfortunate for my position. My position is that the
