    I love NPR's Planet Money. I try to listen to every episode, usually on my way to school in the morning. I is not at all unusual for me to use the very podcast I listened to on the way in during that day's class! All econ teachers should be listening to Planet Money (no, like economics, it is NOT only about money!)

  • Krugman explains that having a transnational currency does have obvious benefits — it makes doing business a lot easier in Europe. But, he says, there's also a downside: By giving up its own currency, a country also gives up economic flexibility and the benefit of having its own federal government back it up in times of economic trouble.
  • Krugman points to the economies of Ireland and the state of Nevada as examples. Both depend on exporting as a major source of revenue (Ireland to other countries, Nevada to other states)
