100 Economics Question of the Day: An Intermittent Blog: This is what economists mean when they say "win-win" situation?

This is what economists mean when they say "win-win" situation?

At least he called him "an economist" (p. 133)

There is nothing I can possibly add to Tim Lambert's destruction of John Lott, who insists we use his data even though the dog (or something) ate his homework.

But I hasten to note that Freakonomics called Lott "an economist," while Levitt Paul Krugman was a "New York Times columnist and devout critic of George W. Bush (p. 91)." Maybe Levitt can blame it all on his co-author?

(Updated with page references and the full Krugman description)
