Re Perry Mehrling's question (what is the origin of the rhetorical trope used by Krugman, and in fact by many others.  Who first thought it was a good idea to pretend that all was darkness before Keynes brought light?): add "nearly" to "all" and the answer is Joan Robinson, Richard Kahn and J.M. Keynes (circa early 1930s).
