Krugman linkes

[mindstalk]

A little note on the rapid social progress of the US. E.g. back in the halcyon Reagan days, only a minority of Americans said they approved of interracial marriage. Something of a jump during the Clinton years, then another rise with Obama... do Democratic presidencies make poll responses more liberal?

Just as I was sympathetic to The Spirit Level, but not entirely convinced, so Krugman, though concerned about inequality, can't agree with Stiglitz that it's directly crippling recovery.
