“And for your Sunday night delectation, we have a reading from the letter of Enda to the Austeritarians…”

“Austeritarians bang on about the debt while failing to plug revenue holes.”

“Nevertheless, it is useful to briefly discuss the theoretical controversies about admissible levels of debt and the tolerable duration of significant fiscal imbalances to explain why it is impossible to authoritatively delineate the universe of truly troubling cases of sustained and excessive debt accumulation from more moderate ones, and to establish that this book does not need to take sides in the academically and politically fraught debate between "austeritarians" and Keynesians.”
