Why didn't the Dollar Crash ?

Her ne kadar 'biraz' geç kalmış olsam da bunu paylaşmalıyım diye düşündüm. Takip ettiğim bloglardan biri olan "Economist's View"dan aynen aktarıyorum : " Brett Dobbs at The Big Think asked me to submit a question for Paul Krugman. I asked, " Many people thought the crash of the dollar would lead the economic downturn. Why didn't that happened?"
