Economists as President? 

It seems to be the season for promoting macro-economists to presidential roles. First, Ramachandra Guha wrote a well-reasoned piece on why Amartya Sen should take over as the next president of India. Now, Marginal Revolution points to an ongoing effort in the United States to recruit a certain macroeconomist we all know well to replace Mr Bush in 2008. Maybe some of you will have to wait a little longer to heave that sigh of relief you were expecting in 2008 :)
