I'm spending the weekend catching up on the huge pile of books and articles that have been piling up.

I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying Ben Bernanke's Essays on the Great Depression. He's actually a really good, lively writer and it is so on point, it is all about the credit aspects of the Great Depression. I would love a chance to interview him now.

Our friend Eric Rauchway has a helpful list of other good books to read.

I'm also reading Eric's essay at American Prospect. I'll be honest, I'm not fully convinced but I think it's sharp and quite helpful.
