In Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, he argues that eudaimonia is the ultimate goal in life. Eudaimonia roughly translates to happiness or human flourishing. One of the ways in which eudaimonia is achieved is by exercising the mind. This blog is intended to help all of us reach eudaimonia through political discourse. This cannot be possible without YOU the reader, and YOU the respondent. Hence, youdaimonia.

Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary?

I have a question for everyone. Should Barack Obama appoint Paul Krugman to be his treasury secretary? It makes a lot of sense to me. 

Paul Krugman called on the government to recapitalize the banks from pretty early on. Low and behold, that is exactly what Hank Paulson has decided to do. 

If that isn't enough for you, Krugman was also awarded the Nobel Prize in economics today. Not a bad day for Paul Krugman. Not bad at all.

I think he should appoint Jack Klugman treasury secretary.

I was just reading about him and his background yesterday and thought to myself, man they need to get that guy into government. I would hope that is the case.
