Some useful perspective from Ezra Klein of the Washington Post. The post there is a bit older (late September), but is pertinent to the discussions we have had. In addition to hitting some themes that have come up lately, it also does a couple of other things.
First, Ezra Klein authorizes you (as an official policy wonk gatekeeper) to be pro-trade and anti-currency-manipulation. By extension, some of you may be happy that you can be pro-Romney and pro-free trade, regardless of his attacks on China.
Second, it shows that Romney has a way with the classic stock and trade of economics: simplified models of the world that often involve two actors, two factors, and the like (think comparative advantage, Rogowski, etc.) Notice the part where Romney talks about a 200-person economy. Interesting stuff.
