PBS NewsHour

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.

Ask Negotiation Expert Robert Mnookin Your Questions

Editor's Note: Tonight on the NewsHour, Paul Solman talks to Harvard Law School professor Robert Mnookin, an expert on negotiation, about his new book Bargaining with the Devil: When to Negotiate and When to Fight.

"My approach is always to see if I can lead and persuade the other side to engage in problem-solving," Mnookin says. "Many more things are negotiable than people assume are negotiable."

Mnookin has offered to answer viewer questions on negotiation -- post them in the comments section below and we'll publish answers next week.
