text: Anti-Dismal: Lessons from the financial crisis for teaching economics
  John Taylor discuses this topic at his blog Economics One. He writes,
  I emphasized that one's view of how economics teaching should change depends greatly on one's view of the crisis. For example, Alan Blinder and I have different views of the crisis and the policy response, so naturally we have different views about how the crisis should affect teaching.
  Taylor goes on the argue that the good news for teaching from the financial crisis is that we now have many more examples to illustrate basic economic principles including that incentives matter, the permanent income hypothesis, regulatory capture, and the money multiplier. And you can never have too many examples to drive home the importance of basic economics.
