Blog number 8

1. What is the main idea of this NYT article? What is its connection to OMAM?
 The article is saying that we will be out of the recession we are in in 2009. People will start getting jobs and money back.  Of Mice and Men Lennie and George are poor and need work because of the recession. There are too many people looking to be a worker for them to mess up and lose they're job.

2. According to the article, "Some Forecasters See a Fast Economic Recovery," what 'psychological factor' is mentioned as providing the U.S. society with a false sense of comfort?

3. Is there a similar psychological phenomenon that plays out in OMAM? [Hint: Where do the migrant workers' earnings go? Find support for your answers on pages 76-78 of the text.]

George and Lennie are saving they're money to buy a farm.
