THE FIRST WORD

austerians
An economics paper by a pair of Harvard economists suggesting spending cuts could lead to growth was cited by many prominent "austerians," as Krugman calls them...
The word "austere" can be traced back to a Greek root meaning "dry." This term is meant to be a play on the "Austrian" school of economics, and is credited to Rob Parenteau, the editor of the Richebächer Letter.
