Krugman on Fresh Air just referred to the Euro as a "Great Experiment". Last time I heard that phrase it was about the Soviet Union in 1930s

Then, "they're creating a combined currency? Wow! Uh, wait, this is going to be a fiat currency? Printed in multiple countries?"
Then, "they've created a central governing body, and are regulating the hell out of everything? Durp."

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
