[Pen-l] Paul Krugman on the British Empire



In Paul Krugman's New York Times column today, he says, "China acquired its $2 trillion stash--
turning the People's Republic into the T-Bills Republic--the same way Britain acquired
its empire: in a fit of absence of mind."  I found the part I put in bold mind-boggling.
Maybe that is the way the nobility and the merchants took possession of peasant land
in Britan proper too.
