Not a blog but a "q-and-a" (pronounced "quanda"), this page is about the basics of economics. Its premise: there are no stupid q's. And if some a's seem dim, take heart: I can brighten them up in response to objections, corrections, refinements. Comments on posts feature yours, and my responses. Enough of you now frequent and query the quanda that I post most every day. Haven't seen your q yet? Send it again. All a's should be taken with a shaker of sodium chloride, if not a Lot's-wife's-worth. And speaking of salt, the mustache and "hair" in the photo has a lot less of that condiment, and rather more pepper, than can be seen on TV. Think of it as time travel.

It's the weekend again and with the NewsHour dark, there's no chance to answer questions. So I thought I'd post a couple of things that might interest you. I'm in San Francisco for the annual meeting of economists for a story slated to run next week in which the pros answer the question: "Why didn't you WARN us?"

I have begun posting their insights and bon mots on Twitter @paulsolman, my handle there. Also, if you really need a fix of Deep Thoughts By Me, I've just published a piece in a journal few, if any of you, I expect, subscribe to or have even heard of: The Journal of Economic Education.

You can buy a copy of the article at Heldref Publicans or just google "Journal of Economic Education." As NewsHour viewers (and especially if you're a teacher), you might find my piece of some interest.

Have an anxiety-free weekend and, for that matter, 2009.
