Worth Reading: Krugman on Obama and Progressive Agenda (plus editorial on shelters)

See Paul Krugman (winner of the Nobel prize), "The Obama Agenda," New York Times, Nov. 7, 2008. 

Another editorial  of note (thanks to Stephanie Humphries): Editorial, "Good Neighbors," New York Times, Nov. 7, 2008 (noting cost savings for supportive apartments versus emergency shelters).  The editorial reminded me of a couple of earlier articles: Jennifer Egan, "To Be Young and Homeless," New York Times Sunday Magazine, Mar. 24, 2002 and Malcolm Gladwell, "Million Dollar Murray," The New Yorker, Feb. 13, 2006.
