Greg Mankiw is rightly unimpressed by Paul Krugman’s presumptions and style of argument [2]. Here’s Mankiw’s opening paragraph:

I wonder what the executives at Dow Chemical Co. think of Marty Mazorra’s proposal that Uncle Sam ban the exportation of acetone [4]. It’d naturally be a gas to find out!
Richard Rahn exposes the reality of anti-money-laundering surveillance [5].

Shikha Dalmia reflects on racial preferences [12].
