LONDON To read The Samuelson Sampler in the shadow of the Great Recession is to gain a glimpse into the mindset of a bygone era. The sample is of the late Paul Samuelson s weekly columns for the magazine Newsweek from 1966 1973.

Reading The Samuelson Sampler, it is extraordinary to realize just how confident economists of his generation were that the New Economics (as the Keynesian approach was called in America) had solved the problem of depression and mass unemployment. As Samuelson put it in his 1973 introduction, the specter of a repetition of the depression of the 1930s has been reduced to a negligible probability.

The survey, carried out in October and November 2004 by the oceanographic vessel B O García del Cid, resulted in, inter alia (a) a geopositioned mosaic of sonographs covering the strip on the two platforms from about 1,000 km of sonar sidescan profiles (b) a geophysical map of approximately the same zones from some 700 km of geo wave (topographical) lines and (c) a seabed sampling using a gravity sampler to help interpret the preceding sonic and seismic surveys.
