This morning's interview on UK's Radio 4 'Today' program with Deputy First Minister for Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, of the Scottish National Party, had me shouting at the receiver. I don't know whether she and the SNP leadership understand the monetary economics lurking behind the costs and benefits of alternative currency options for Scotland and the rest of the UK (RUK) and are simply obscuring things to make them look rosier for the Yes campaign, or if they simply don't get it. They say such idiotic things on the subject that it's hard to tell. And it worries me that their interventions, both clumsy and poisonous, are debasing this debate, and economic discourse generally.
