In related news, economist Robert Murphy has challenged Paul Krugman to debate business cycle theory. The idea is to get internet donations built up to 100,000 that would go to a charity if the event were to take place. Krugman might have too much to lose if he accepted, but the donation money is supposed to be a way to shame him into it. The donations are currently halfway towards their goal.

There's also an embarrassing youtube video of a shirtless Bob Murphy in front of the mirror after "training" for the debate. The self-effacing humor alone should have Krugman running scared.

The mirror clip is hilarious.

"Hey, Paul, look! It's deflation!" WHAM! "Don't you EVER turn your back on an Austrian economist!"
