Since the importance of Romer 90 as a pivotol moment is central to your book, I am hoping you will use this blog to respond to Krugman. Or is your focus on Romer 90 just a device to write about new growth theory? Thanks. DW: As happy as I was with Paul Krugman's review (and that of The Economist), neither had much to say about the argument of the book.  So yes, at some point, I will address his doubts on this page. I'll mull it over for a bit. I am not much of a blogger at heart!   The review by Krugman was indeed terrific but it does take issue with the prominence and weight you assign to Romer 90 (although this misrepresentation does not detract from the overall value of the book, in Kruman’s opinion).
