#1 And Econopundit says rebutting a Krugman article:

...Second misrepresentation: genuine mathematical models, like the Yale multi-country trade and US macroeconomic models are definitely not predicting that a "crisis could erupt at any time." (Far from it, they're predicting a robust recovery even in the face of Iraq reconstruction costs!)...

But he will be setting up the Damocles index to see if Krugman is right.

#5 Falling currencies are almost always a sighn that something is wrong with your economy. Yes sure, a weak dollar may boost your exports but if you import more than you export that's a weak consolation.

"German businesses have contributed to making Germany the worldâs largest exporter for the first time in 11 years, raising optimism that unpopular wage capping has boosted the competitiveness of German industry.
According to a report in the Financial Times Deutschland, Germany recorded $62 billion (â¬55.6 billion) in exports in August, over 7 percent more in dollar terms than the United States, the consistent world leader. The report, based on figures from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), shows that Germany has been ahead of the United States in terms of export levels since April this year. (Deutsche Welle)

Germany has been able to boost exports even with a strong euro. It boils down to that: Quality always sells.
