Dear Paul, Yours is the rare ability to put words in people's mouths that they never said and then ridicule them for it. It's rare because it's dishonorable. There is nothing in my column that says anything about my reading of Keyne's views. I did not used the letters K e y n e s except in spelling Keynesian. I'm not sure Keynes was a Keynesian. I believe you are, at least in part.
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/05/exchange-rates-and-price-sti... is your very own blog claiming that price stickiness is significant. I'm not suggesting that being Keynesian is being misguided. I think, like you, that price and wage stickiness is a problem for certain markets. I'm just saying that if it is a problem, you and Jaime would be excellent economists to sort the problem out and recommend fixes. Sorry if this offends you. But, trust me, you give much better than you get and it's not making your mother proud. Larry"
