I categorized you, as a noclassical economist of the academic type. And I have been correct in those assumptions because you are unable to defend your untenable contentions re: money. Besides, Mr. Frum is disreputable in many other areas. I would not turn to his reputation for your own defense.

One is tempted to reply that the editor/author is an ignoramus, or just plain dense. And also tempted to point to the record of the Fed on tempering the economy and 'controlling' inflation.
