I didn’t quite get around to writing the entry I intended on Bernanke and Keynes having pro-market supporters, but here in the interim is a link to the fascinating Wiktionary page on the word
“dingleberry,”* which has some surprising uses.
*Come to think of it, I suppose I should dedicate this lexicographical blog entry to the late William Safire.

Analysis for dingleberries? How is that a fair trade?
The important thing is not that the dingleberries be deployed in a “fair” way but that, through the process of trade, the dingleberries _flow to their highest-valued uses_. Absent regulatory interference, I trust that, over time, they will.
This leaves unanswered big questions about systemic/monetary issues, though, which is what I hope to address in more detail in the next entry, probably tonight after work (before I go see a reading of plays produced by Richard Ryan at 8, including Kristin Prevallet’s avant-garde one about claustrophobia, at Bleecker Street Theatre).
