Surowiecki Blog Debuts; Market Plunges

You know it’s a good day when James Surowiecki announces he’s starting a “blog”:http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/jamessurowiecki/ version of his consistently insightful “Financial Page” column. Only a little more than a day and already there are five meaty posts up there. He wittily “notes”:http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/jamessurowiecki/2008/10/welcome-to-the.html that the debut of that column precipitated a reversal in the market in 2000, so we hope for more of that.
