[aaus-list] Krugman references Ukraine

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

Twice in the last two days NY Times columnist, Princeton economics
professor, and recent Nobel Economics prize recipient Paul Krugman
referenced Ukraine. Once in Sunday's Round Table portion of This Week w/
George Stephanopoulos and in his NY Times column from today. "Latvia is
the new Argentina; Ukraine is the new Indonesia."

Today's NY Times column
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/15/opinion/15krugman.html

The details of his reference are explained in a separate blog post:
Eastern Europe 2008 = Southeast Asia 1997
