Book Forum continues, Megan McArdle on CEO pay

For commentary on chapter four from Tim Harford's The Logic of Life, Megan McArdle steps up.  The post is over at her blog, go over there to leave your opinions and show the Atlantic Monthly who's got the better commentators!

Addendum: In the comments it is written: "I think the we should distinguish ourselves from them by ending the comments with 'MR'."

This is a very interesting theory, are there any articles or studies that have looked into this?

MR commenters are better, without a doubt.
