An interesting email exchange between Miles Kimball and Scott Sumner, who grew up less than a mile from one another: http://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/69666430753/miles-kimball-and-scott-sumner-monetary-policy-the
Scott Sumner provides a post response along with some more memories: Miles from home
Both David Beckworth and Paul Krugman agree with Scott that "helicopter drops" are not a cure-all for AD shortfalls
John Carney misrepresents Scott on QE: Pay attention to the theoretical world
Scott points out a few positives and negatives: Stanley Fischer to the Fed?
More on Fischer, and some thoughts on the Jewish ethnic group: Failure is an option
Scott receives some hopeful links: Is the Eurozone beginning to wake up to reality?
It's the ECB policy that is awesomely destructive: A note on "awesomely destructive" fiscal policies
Never mind foreign countries...what about the bizarre activities closer to home? We are the freak show
Reviewing the editor's proofs of his Depression manuscript, Scott remembers The "Lehman Moment" of 1931
Tight money causes... How to prevent an epidemic of Reckless Lending
Will growth remain low in the years ahead? It's not about inflation
Rationale for inflation has changed in recent decades: Yes, raise interest rates. But how?
And, Income is meaningless, example #388
