To the Editor:

   Professor Krugman tidily lays out the argument that a sovereign nation needs to command its own currency, but balks at the logical conclusion. The government of the United States needs to nationalize the Federal Reserve.  By 1835, Alexander Hamilton's public/private experiment had served its purpose; It was no longer tolerable to give so much influence to the bankers. It is past time for a new Andrew Jackson to restore sovereignty to the people.
