Compliments from the Blogosphere

1. Brian Hollar has a post that explains why I write textbooks. (Plus, of course, there's the money.)

2. Lynne Kiesling says:

One thing I like about Greg Mankiw is his sincerity. It resonates through all of the posts on his relatively new blog, which I am enjoying.

Thank you, Lynne. I always try to keep in mind this classic piece of Marxist wisdom:

The secret to success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

By the way, that's Groucho, not Karl.
