In response to my summer project ideas bleg GrandArch suggested a focus on the differences between U.S. and European economies. He, and others, may find the blogosphere debate about relative growth rates that began as a skirmish between Jon Chait and Jim Manzi of interest. It has evolved to include many other high profile bloggers, journalists, economists, and columnists.
Below are a few URLs to get you started. I’m unlikely to pull all this together into a coherent post any time soon, if ever. But if I notice someone else who has I’ll send it to my News & Links feed (which is where I directed several of the posts below).

- Paul Krugman (blog)
